Requirements to minimum viable plan to cost
Momen doesn't give a vague quote: it first sizes the project's actual demand for each capability and resource, then costs each item out.
The numbers in the "Project demand" column below — their scale assumptions and derivations — are detailed in Scale & sizing.
Minimum viable plan
PRO
The project is a commercial service application that requires multi-step workflows, professional branding, and, most importantly, payment processing for court bookings or memberships, necessitating the PRO plan.

Servers, databases, traffic and storage are inherent infrastructure costs for this project — you pay them whether you outsource, use Cursor or Lovable, or build it yourself (self-built runs ≈ $441/mo at AWS list prices, often more), plus the extra dev and ops staff. Momen bundles all of it into $368/mo all-in and removes the need for an ops team.
The frontend can be generated with AI tools (Cursor, Lovable, etc.); the hard part is the backend — auth, database, scaling, data security and ops. Momen delivers a production-grade backend as a BaaS: keep the vibe-coding speed on the frontend, while the backend runs on proven infrastructure — reliable, with no self-hosting or ops.
What scale this estimate assumes, and how the numbers are derived
Cost depends heavily on usage volume. First see the key assumptions and business scenarios this estimate uses, then the full calculation derived from each scenario for every resource — all adjustable to your real situation.
We estimate 10,000 registered homeowners and 500 service providers based on typical urban service platform ratios. We include 10 administrators for operations. An anonymous pool of 20,000 is added to represent public traffic browsing services without accounts.
This is a standard linear-growth marketplace. We assume it takes roughly 7-8 months of equivalent steady-state operation to reach the current data volume, so we use 225 days.

We assume a flat 9-hour daytime period (32,400 seconds) where users visit the platform at a steady pace. This occurs daily (30 times per month). This scene captures the long-tail discovery phase of the marketplace.
