Tally is modeled from its public product surface, documented architecture where available, current pricing, and the operational demands implied by its major features. The range is an editorial estimate—not a leaked invoice or a claim from Tally.
The largest cost pressure comes from form responses, file storage, email and integrations. Build-time assumes a production product with authentication, billing, observability, security, responsive clients and the core workflow represented honestly—not a visual clone.
Infrastructure can vary dramatically with negotiated contracts, caching, region, reliability targets and customer behavior. Use the itemized receipt and assumptions to challenge the estimate. Founders can submit a correction or verify their real range without publishing sensitive vendor contracts.
How the bill grows.

Where this could be wrong.
- Estimate assumes a lean team and efficient managed services
- Founder verification would substantially narrow the range
