What each scope tier includes
Every calculator starts from one of three baselines. This is what separates them.
| Scope | Baseline | Typical shape |
|---|---|---|
| MVP | $40K | Narrowest useful release — one workflow, one user type, launched fast. |
| Standard | $90K | The common case: multiple roles, reporting, and the integrations most buyers expect. |
| Advanced | $180K | Multi-site or enterprise scope, deeper interoperability and heavier non-functional requirements. |
Baselines are before feature adders, compliance programmes, integrations and the platform, design and team-location multipliers. The headline range for this calculator is $40K–$216K. See how the numbers are built.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a fitness app cost to develop?
A single-platform workout app with subscriptions costs $40,000–$80,000. A cross-platform app with wearable sync, nutrition and social features costs $90,000–$180,000. A trainer marketplace with payouts, video and scheduling runs $180,000–$330,000.
Is a fitness app subject to HIPAA?
Usually not — consumer wellness data outside a covered entity is not PHI, which is why the $18,000 HIPAA adder is unchecked by default here. But if an employer or health plan sponsors the programme, or a clinician reviews the data, HIPAA applies and you should add the $18,000 safeguards programme plus $15,000 for audit logging.
What does a nutrition database cost?
The $14,000 feature cost covers logging UI, barcode scanning and macro maths. The food database is licensed separately: Nutritionix and Edamam run roughly $500–$3,000 per month depending on call volume, and USDA FoodData Central is free but has far weaker branded-food coverage.
