Hi there,
I have read everything from your project description & understood the overall scope of this iPhone & Android App project, as you have explained all the features/functionality. I have also consulted with my technical team leads to make sure that there are no confusions or technical hurdles.
As far as the cost is concerned, I am not sure why but there is a big difference between our calculated cost & your set budget on Freelancer website, because this is not just one App but 3 Apps, i.e. iPhone App, Android App and WebServices (API), and the cost of any App project depends on the overall scope of work. If you want, I can give you our team high level understanding paragraph to make sure that we are both on the same page in terms of requirements understanding. No doubt, there are many bids within this budget range, as every bidder want to get this project, because on Freelancer website, whatever budget you will select to post the project, mostly people will bid within that budget range, no matter what actual working hours or cost it takes to develop. So, if you're flexible in your budget, we can surely talk about it more in detail, if not, then I totally understand.
Please ignore the bid amount, as our estimate is high & I would like to discuss.
Look forward to hearing from you & start further discussion thru' private chat.
Regards,
YK
