The cost of building custom software varies widely based on several factors, including:
-
Project complexity – Simple tools cost less, while enterprise-grade platforms require more time and resources.
-
Features & integrations – The more features, third-party APIs, or systems to connect, the higher the cost.
-
Technology stack – Costs vary depending on whether it’s web, mobile, cloud-native, or cross-platform.
-
Team location & expertise – Rates differ between offshore, nearshore, and onshore development teams.
-
Design & user experience – Custom UI/UX adds value but can increase overall costs.
Typical ranges:
-
Basic MVP or internal tool: $15,000 – $40,000
-
Mid-size business application: $40,000 – $100,000
-
Enterprise-grade platform: $100,000+
To get an accurate estimate, it’s best to start with a detailed requirements workshop or consultation—ensuring the scope, goals, and technology approach are clearly defined.
