Story Point Estimator
Estimate effort and cost for custom software projects using story points derived from your project plan.
Estimate custom software projects with confidence. The Story Point Estimator turns the user stories in your project plan into story point values, then converts those points into effort and cost — so every proposal you send is grounded in real scope.
Overview
Pricing a custom build shouldn’t be guesswork. The Story Point Estimator pulls user stories directly from your Project Plan and gives your team a structured way to size each one. Once every story has a point value, the estimator calculates total effort and maps it to cost using your agency’s rates. The result feeds straight into the Proposal Builder, so your client sees a clear, defensible quote.
A Closer Look
Assign Story Points to User Stories
Each user story from your project plan appears in the estimator ready to be sized. Walk through them one by one — or in bulk — and assign story point values that reflect your team’s understanding of complexity. The view keeps everything organized by milestone so you can estimate in context, not in isolation.

Translate Points into Pricing
Once your stories are sized, the estimator converts total story points into hours and cost based on your team’s velocity and billing rates. You get a transparent breakdown that connects scope to price — making it easy to adjust, justify, and share the final number with your client.
