Step 6: Build Your Realistic Budget Checklist

The checklist from the article.

• Confirm your complexity tier using the feature list from Step 1.

• Document every third-party integration you'll need (payments, CRM, maps, AI).

• Decide iOS, Android, or both — and whether native or cross-platform makes sense.

• Set a maintenance budget at 15–20% of build cost, not an afterthought line item.

• Choose MVP or full launch based on how validated your idea already is.

• Get itemized quotes from at least two teams so you can compare scope, not just price.

• Ask each team for a sample technical scope document, not just a proposal PDF.

Free, and yours to edit — tick items off on the web or in the MyCheck app.
