The 1-Page React Native Scope Template That Gets Real Quotes

Most app quotes are confusing because the input is unclear. If you send a vague idea, you get a vague price. Here’s a one-page template you can copy, fill in, and send to any team so you get quotes you can compare.

Template (copy/paste block)
Paste this into email / Notion / Google Doc:

  • Platforms: iOS / Android / both
  • User types: (example: customer + admin)
  • Login: email / phone OTP / Google / Apple
  • Main screens: (list screens, even rough)
  • Hard parts (tick what applies):
    • Payments (Stripe / in-app / other)
    • Maps / location
    • Chat
    • Video / audio
    • File upload
    • Bluetooth / device connection
    • Offline use
    • Push notifications
  • Data: what does the app store and show?
  • Backend: do you need one? Yes/No/Unsure
  • Admin panel: yes/no (what should it do?)
  • Third-party services: (Stripe, Twilio, Firebase, etc.)
  • Design: provided by me / need design help
  • Timeline: (date you want v1)
  • Must-have vs nice-to-have: (two short lists)
  • Deliverables I expect: source code access, builds, store release help, basic docs
  • After launch: do you want maintenance? Yes/No

How to use it?
Send this to 3–5 teams. Ask them to reply with:

  1. What they assume you mean
  2. What is not included
  3. Timeline + milestones
  4. What can change the price

I also put a printable one-page checklist and tentitive cost ranges here!
