TCO Build vs Buy calculator

§ Free interactive calculator

Compare the cost of building and buying

Adjust the variables. The build column shows the prices aGo lab publishes; the buy column, an estimate of what the market charges. The two are not merged into a single figure.

Horizon (years)

Management module

The project 80 to 150 UF

Continuity and evolution from 20 UF per month

Indicative: from 80 UF plus VAT for a base scope of one module and a documented stack; from 20 UF plus VAT per month for a base scope of one standard server and the plan's technical hours. The final figure is set during discovery and depends on how many systems are involved, the state of the code, the third-party integrations, how many services are maintained, the infrastructure provider and the hours the month requires. This is not an offer. The 80 to 150 UF range applies to the base scope described above; a larger scope is quoted in the 150 to 350 UF range.

Integrated system

The project 150 to 350 UF

Continuity and evolution from 20 UF per month

Indicative: from 150 UF plus VAT for a base scope of several modules over a dedicated database; from 20 UF plus VAT per month for a base scope of one standard server and the plan's technical hours. The final figure is set during discovery and depends on how many modules are involved, the state of the code being integrated, the third-party integrations, how many services are maintained, the infrastructure provider and the hours the month requires. This is not an offer. The 150 to 350 UF range applies to the base scope described above; a larger scope is quoted from 350 UF.

Platform or ecosystem

The project from 350 UF

Continuity and evolution from 20 UF per month

Indicative: from 350 UF plus VAT for a base scope of the first product of the ecosystem; from 20 UF plus VAT per month for a base scope of one standard server and the plan's technical hours. The final figure is set during discovery and depends on how many products are involved, the stages the work is split into, the third-party integrations, how many services are maintained, the infrastructure provider and the hours the month requires. This is not an offer.

§ Recommendation

The buy estimate comes from third-party market prices and not from aGo lab: it changes with the provider and the scope. The build prices are the ones aGo lab publishes at /en/pricing.
