Getting a price for custom software has traditionally meant filling out a contact form, waiting for a callback, and sitting through a discovery meeting before anyone gives you a number. That is a lot of effort just to find out if a project is even in your range.

It does not have to work that way anymore. Here is how you can get a real, tailored estimate for your idea right now.

The short answer

Yes, you can get an instant preliminary quote for your web application idea. Using the OverDrive AI Instant Quote system, you describe your project in plain language, answer a few guided questions, and receive an estimated price range and timeline in minutes. It is free, requires no technical knowledge, and does not commit you to anything.

How does the instant quote work?

The AI Instant Quote system walks you through a short series of guided questions about your project. It then analyzes your answers, the features you need, and the complexity involved to produce a preliminary estimate. The whole process usually takes a few minutes.

  1. Describe your project in your own words. No technical language needed.
  2. Answer a few guided questions about features, users, and goals.
  3. Optionally set a budget or paste an existing quote to compare against.
  4. Receive a preliminary price range and estimated timeline.

What can I enter to get a better estimate?

The more context you give, the sharper the estimate. You can enter three especially useful things:

  • Your project requirements, so the estimate reflects what you actually need.
  • Your available budget, so you can see what is realistic within it.
  • A quote you received from another developer, so you can compare it fairly.

How accurate is an instant quote?

An instant quote is a well-informed preliminary estimate, not a final fixed price. It is designed to tell you the likely range and timeline so you can plan with confidence. A precise, fixed quote comes after a short conversation to confirm the details. Think of the instant quote as the fast, honest first answer that saves everyone time.

Will I get sales calls if I use it?

No. You get your estimate immediately on screen. You are welcome to book a conversation if you want to move forward, but there is no requirement to talk to anyone to see your number.
