Cost of a Next.js (Web App)
job portal app.
Quick answer: a job portal app built with Next.js (Web App) costs ₹70,000–1.5 lakh for an MVP, ₹3–6 lakh for a mid-complexity build, and ₹12–25 lakh+ for an enterprise version. Typically 20–35% below the mobile-app baseline for equivalent features, since there's no app store submission or two-platform QA.
I know you want to build a Next.js (Web App) job portal app.
There are 10 lakh+ agencies, 5 crore+ vibe coders, and 1 crore+ developers out there right now. You found this page anyway. That's not an accident, we're still the best of all of them at what we do.
We're Sachin and Arjav. We started this studio together, and we still personally work on every project that comes in. When you reach out, it's one of us who replies, not a support team. And we'll say it straight: bring us your toughest deadline or the idea three other agencies said no to, that's exactly where we do our best work. We're Indian founders too, so don't stress about the budget upfront, tell us what you've got on a call and we'll figure out what fits.
Forget the price tag for a second.
Tell me your actual budget, not what you think you're supposed to say, and I'll tell you honestly what we can build in it. No stretch quote, no upsell.
Resume parsing/matching quality, the feature that separates a job board from a job portal.
The right call when SEO and instant access (no download/install) matter more than native mobile features like push or offline-first.
Ask five agencies what a Job Portal costs on Next.js (Web App), and you will get five different numbers. That is because they are quietly answering different questions. The honest range: ₹70,000–1.5 lakh for an MVP built to test one core flow with real users, ₹3–6 lakh for a full build with the features job portal actually needs to keep users around, and ₹12–25 lakh+ once you add enterprise needs like SSO or multi-region setup. Web only, no app store builds It decides how much of that budget goes into the product itself, versus fixing platform differences. Founders who skip the scoping call and just ask "what does it cost" tend to get quoted for whichever tier the agency wants to sell.
The right call when SEO and instant access (no download/install) matter more than native mobile features like push or offline-first. That is the general case for Next.js (Web App). The more useful question is whether it holds for a Job Portal specifically, and mostly it does. Categories differ a lot in how much they depend on deep platform integration versus staying consistent across devices, and that difference should drive the stack decision more than habit or hype. For this category, the balance tips toward strengths this stack is genuinely good at, which is why experienced teams keep choosing it here. It is worth checking this reasoning against your own feature list rather than accepting it blindly. A studio that has shipped this category before should point to specific features where the stack choice actually mattered.
What Actually Drives The Price
There is a pattern in how job portal projects go over budget, and it almost always traces back to this being underestimated at the start: Resume parsing/matching quality, the feature that separates a job board from a job portal. It rarely looks like a red flag early on. It gets mentioned in passing, treated as a small detail to figure out later. But it has a big effect on the real engineering work, because it touches data design, integrations, and testing all at once. A useful check: if a proposal does not talk about this with real specifics, it is not really scoped yet, no matter how detailed the feature list looks.
How We Scope And Build It
Scoping a Job Portal on Next.js (Web App) well starts with a real founder workshop, not a sales call disguised as one. A session where the team maps out user flows, the data model, and integrations before anyone commits to a number. After that, the build should move in fixed sprints, each ending in a working demo instead of a status update. This lets you watch the product take shape screen by screen, instead of trusting a schedule on paper. Weekly demos matter more than they sound like they should, because they catch misalignment early, when it costs an afternoon to fix, not a whole sprint. A senior engineer should also own the architecture decisions from day one, since early choices are expensive to undo later.

Realistic Timeline
A realistic timeline for a Job Portal on Next.js (Web App) looks like 6 to 10 weeks for an MVP, 12 to 20 weeks for a full mid-complexity build, and 20 to 36-plus weeks at enterprise scale. The gap between these tiers is almost never about UI work, which is usually the fastest part of the build. It is backend complexity, integration depth, and compliance requirements that actually eat the calendar. Platform count matters too. Web only, no app store builds decides how much of the engineering work is genuinely shared versus redone per platform, and that shows up directly in the schedule.
Technical Tradeoffs Worth Knowing
job portal built on Next.js (Web App) runs into the same handful of trade-offs that separate a solid build from a fragile one. First, state management, and specifically how well the app keeps data consistent across screens when something changes elsewhere in real time. Second, offline support, which is either a real architecture requirement baked into how data is stored, or a lower priority that should not distort the rest of the build. Third, how much of the feature set depends on direct device access versus shared app logic, since that ratio affects both timeline and how much platform-specific debugging the team faces later. Naming these clearly during scoping avoids expensive rework mid-project.
The Risk Of Going Cheap
There is a reason cheap quotes for a Job Portal on Next.js (Web App) tend to cause expensive problems later. The savings almost always come from cutting something that does not show up until after launch. Cross-platform QA is easiest to skip quietly, since a demo on one device looks the same whether or not the app was tested on the other five setups your users actually have. Post-launch support gets the same treatment, vaguely promised, rarely defined, and often gone once the invoice is paid. And architecture decisions that should involve a senior engineer get made by whoever is available instead, which is fine until a decision made in week one slows down a new feature by three times.
Real talk, nobody can tell you the exact cost of a Job Portal on Next.js (Web App) from a page like this, us included. What we can tell you, in a real conversation, is this: Resume parsing/matching quality, the feature that separates a job board from a job portal. And what that actually does to your number. So message us. It is free, it is fast, and you will walk away with something more useful than another range, an actual answer.
