UI/UX Designer
One-Time
~$2000-$2300 (*)
- Focus on creating the Client App design with a TV-oriented interface.
- Console App design is not critical during the MVP but can be addressed based on progress.
- Work is task-based and does not require full-time involvement until the end of the MVP.
Web Developer
One-Time
~$1800-$2000 (**)
- Hired to ensure API integration and front-end work for the Console App.
- Since the app can operate with just the API, this role can prioritize minimal functionality for MVP delivery.

The Client App’s user interface is crucial for the MVP, making the UI/UX designer a priority hire. (** it should be ~$1000-$1300)
** Not critically important it should be $0.

* The server setup (if chosen) is not for production use but its designed to test multiple platforms simultaneously by utilizing a host machine equipped with 4 GPUs. This enables comprehensive testing of game streaming, rendering, and backend operations under various scenarios.
** This budget covers the essential tools and licenses needed to streamline development:

Total Costs:
If We Chose to Build Own Servers + Console App:
If We Chose to Rent in Cloud + Console App :
During the 1–9 months of the MVP phase, we will need a monthly cost of $330 (if using cloud rental) or $180 (if building our own servers) to cover hosting and infrastructure operations. Additionally, in Month 6 or 7, we plan to set up a sample server for testing at a one-time cost of $7,800–$14,300. In Month 2, we will pay the UI/UX designer $1,300–$2,300 to create the Client App design. If we choose to build the Console App during the MVP, we will also need to pay the web developer $1,800–$2,000 for API integration and front-end development.
These costs are separated into one-time costs for setup and development and recurring monthly costs for infrastructure maintenance.
