How much does custom software cost?
There is no fixed price because every system has a different size. The price reflects the work needed to solve your problem, and that is made clear in the proposal before any development starts.
What affects the price
The number of screens and user roles, integrations with other services, the complexity of business rules, importing data from older systems, and performance and security requirements.
How I put the proposal together
First we talk about the problem, the people who will use the system and what is essential for the first version. Then I send a proposal with scope, timeline and price agreed upfront, with no surprises along the way.
How to spend less
Start with a lean first version that solves the main problem, then evolve it based on real use. The upfront investment is smaller and the next steps are decided based on what worked.
