Incremental engineering hours used by this calculator.
| Feature | Hours |

| External integrations | 60–160 |
| CMS | 12–30 |
| Spatial placement and asset interaction | 460–1080 |
Spatial placement and asset interaction
Tracking stability, lighting, occlusion, and device capabilities change the experience. Prototype the core spatial interaction on real devices before building a full content library.
Are 3D assets included in the estimate
No. Modeling, animation, scanning, and specialist AR work need separate quotes. Superapp can support surrounding app workflows where compatible; advanced spatial features are not a guaranteed turnkey output.
A cheaper way to start with Superapp
Build a focused version yourself before commissioning a full custom project. Superapp Pro is $25 a month; the subscription covers its plan allowance, while your time, extra usage, integrations, hosting, and specialist work remain part of the budget. A Superapp site is an alternative implementation, not a guarantee of WordPress or Shopify compatibility.
Compare Superapp plansSources and methodology
Rates are global marketplace benchmarks, not US-only agency quotes. Freelancer and agency ranges overlap because they describe different samples. WordPress.com Personal and Shopify Basic use annual billing, exclude introductory promotions and taxes, and replace the hosting budget. Feature hours and recurring budgets are our explicit planning assumptions.
