Frequently Asked Questions

What drives the cost of custom software, how we estimate it and what you get before the build starts. Can’t find an answer?

How much does custom software cost?

Most projects start between $3,000 for a focused feature or integration and $50,000+ for a full platform. A simple website or landing page costs far less than a mobile app with payments, real-time features and an admin panel. The starting prices above show where typical builds begin.

What affects the cost of custom software?

The main drivers are the number and complexity of features, the platforms you need (web, iOS, Android), third-party integrations, design requirements, security and compliance needs, and how much existing data has to be migrated.

How accurate is a software cost estimate?

An early estimate gives a realistic range based on scope, features and integrations. It becomes a fixed number once requirements are clarified in a short discovery phase, before any development starts.

Is it cheaper to build a web app or a mobile app?

A web app is usually cheaper because one codebase works in every browser. A mobile app for one platform costs a similar amount, and covering both iOS and Android with shared cross-platform code costs less than building two separate native apps.

How can I reduce the cost of my project?

Start with an MVP that covers the core user flow, reuse proven services for payments, auth and notifications, and add features in later releases based on real user feedback. This keeps the first budget small and lowers risk.

Do you work with a fixed price or hourly rates?

Both. Well-defined projects can be done for a fixed price agreed upfront. Projects where scope will change as you learn work better on a monthly or hourly model with a dedicated team.

Are there ongoing costs after launch?

Yes. Plan for hosting, third-party services, security updates and ongoing improvements. We include an estimate of running costs with the build plan, so there are no surprises after release.

How do I get a free estimate for my project?

Click "Get a free build plan" and tell us what you want to build. We review your idea, ask a few clarifying questions and send back a scope, a cost range and a suggested timeline.
