Configure your fitness & wellness app
Work through the steps below — scope, features, compliance and integrations — and you get an estimate with a range, a midpoint and a delivery window.
What each scope tier includes
Every calculator starts from one of three baselines. This is what separates them.
| Scope | Baseline | Typical shape |
|---|---|---|
| MVP | $12K | Narrowest useful release — one workflow, one user type, launched fast. |
| Standard | $26K | The common case: multiple roles, reporting, and the integrations most buyers expect. |
| Advanced | $52K | Multi-site or enterprise scope, deeper interoperability and heavier non-functional requirements. |
Baselines are before feature adders, compliance programmes, integrations and the platform and design multipliers. Every configuration this calculator can produce falls inside $9.8K–$210K — the floor is the cheapest tier at the cheapest multipliers with nothing added, the ceiling is the top tier with every option selected at the dearest ones. Both ends are computed from the price table above, not written by hand. A typical mid-market configuration lands near $65,700. 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.
