MAEUM · QUOTE CHECKER
Got a development quote?
Find out in 30 seconds if it's fair
Paste your quote as-is. Instead of an untraceable “market average,” we compare it against MAEUM's published fixed prices — public, verifiable, and actually on sale right now. You'll see how many times your quote is above or below list, with the full math shown. Free — the instant check runs entirely in your browser.
We hide nothing
The basis and the formula are fully public. If the published list price for the same scope is ₩5,000,000 and your quote is ₩15,000,000 — 15,000,000 ÷ 5,000,000 = 3.0× the list price. That's the whole calculation.
The basis — real published prices
No hidden market averages, no internal coefficients. This table is the entire basis. (VAT excluded · starting prices · final price confirmed after scoping. KRW is authoritative; USD figures are approximate.)
| Track | Upfront | Monthly | What you get |
|---|
SI — ownership
← quote comparison basis | ₩2.5M–₩7M+ (≈ $1,786–$5,000+) | ₩0 | Build + source code ownership. Revisions via care passes when needed |
| SaaS — managed | ₩700K+ (≈ $500+) | ₩490K / 990K / 1.49M
(≈ $350 / $707 / $1,064/mo) | Build + servers, ops, improvements, new features, monthly reports = a subscribed dev team |
Most quotes are one-time build quotes, so we
compare against SI list prices. SaaS is a subscription — a different kind of product, not directly comparable to a lump-sum quote.

The instant check focuses on price. The AI deep check goes through your quote item by item:
- Is anything missing from scope?
- Are items split up unnecessarily?
- Where could extra charges appear later?
- Is the admin dashboard included?
- Is data migration included?
- How are maintenance and revisions defined?
- Who owns the source code and the data?
FAQ
Can I check a quote from any vendor?
Yes. We read the amount from your quote and compare it against MAEUM's published prices. This tool doesn't judge any specific vendor's margins or costs — it shows how far your quote sits from prices that are actually public and on sale.
What is the comparison based on?
Not some untraceable “market average.” The basis is the fixed prices MAEUM publishes and sells at: SaaS from ₩700K setup + ₩490K/990K/1.49M per month, SI (ownership) from ₩2.5M — up to ₩7M+ for larger scopes. Every number and formula is shown on screen so you can verify the math yourself.
Why compare against MAEUM's prices?
Because they're public. Dev outsourcing quotes vary so much by scope that a single honest “market average” barely exists. So instead of pretending to know the whole market, this tool offers a verifiable anchor: “a real agency actually sells at this price.” You compare, you decide.
Is my quote stored?
The instant check runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server. If you request the AI deep check, your input is sent to our consultation chat and may be logged for answer quality and anonymized price statistics. Feel free to remove names, phone numbers and emails first.
My quote is lower than the list price — is that good?
Not necessarily. If the admin dashboard, data migration, design, deployment, revision rounds, maintenance, or source code delivery are missing from scope, they tend to come back as extra invoices later. And a quote far above list can still be reasonable for complex security, infrastructure, native or compliance work. Price comparison is the starting point; contract terms are the final judgment.
Does it work for native app quotes?
Yes, as a reference — and MAEUM builds native apps too. Store apps (iOS / Android / server & admin) have wider price ranges depending on scope, so an itemized comparison is more accurate than a simple multiple. Send it through the AI deep check and we'll break it down item by item — and you can get MAEUM's quote and a working demo for the same scope.
