With Outgrow, one can build almost any kind of calculator, graded quiz or outcome based quiz. Here we have discussed popular uses cases and ideas that successful companies have deployed.

When you want to buy insurance or enroll in an online school, the first thing you’ll search for is “what is the cost of ___”. In fact, millions of searches are made with the primary intent to understand the cost or ROI of making a purchase. Or more broadly, searches are made about any metrics that is important to a customer.

A hospital can build - “Calculate Your Risk of Getting a Heart Disease” and an online school can create - “Calculate How Much You can Save with Scholarships”.

Here is an example - VenturePact’s Mobile App Cost Calculator helps companies quickly estimate how much it would cost to build an app - a common question their sales team would receive. The calculator was extremely successful for the company, generating over 11k leads.

You will notice that the questions are simple enough that the user can quickly run through them, but at the same time, it’s long enough so that the user trusts the calculator and the output. Finally, the questions also provide your sales team with great data about the user.

You can learn more about how to build great calculators under the Building a Winning Experience section.
