Software development cost How much does custom software cost?
An honest answer starts with the scope.

Software has no unit price. Cost follows from the amount of work, and the amount of work follows from a handful of choices you largely make yourself. Once you know those choices, you can read and compare a quote.

• —Scope and user roles: every role (customer, staff, admin) brings its own screens, permissions and edge cases.
• —Integrations: connecting to an ERP, CRM or payment system is often more work than the screen that shows the data, especially with legacy systems.
• —Design: a functional interface built on existing components costs less than a fully custom design.
• —Platforms: web only, or iOS and Android too? Every extra platform means building, testing and maintaining.
• —Requirements under the hood: security, availability, performance and logging are invisible, but they take time.
• —Team composition: the balance of senior, medior and junior sets both the rate and the pace.
• —After launch: hosting, monitoring, updates and further development are part of the total cost.

Many agencies charge one blended rate. What you get for it is up to the agency: how many seniors, how many juniors, and who is still on your project after the pitch. Two quotes with the same hourly rate can deliver completely different teams.

We quote per role. For each position you see which level you get and what that role costs. Want seniors only? That's fine. Want to manage the budget with a deliberate mix of senior, medior and junior? You see exactly what it saves and what you trade for it.

The cheapest feature is the one you don't build. The best code is the code we didn't have to write. That's why we ask the hard questions on day one: which problem does this solve, and what happens if we leave it out?

• —Start with a paid discovery: a short, bounded phase where we pin down scope, risks and architecture before a large budget is committed.
• —Build in phases: first a version that works, then extend it based on real use.
• —Choose proven technology: a well-tested stack is faster to build, easier to hand over and cheaper to maintain.
• —Cut features without clear value, even if they're already on the wish list.
• —Choose the team mix deliberately: not every part needs a senior, but the architecture does.

Our contact form asks for a budget range. Not to pin you down, but to start the conversation on realistic terms. The breakdown below is rough and indicative: the real number only follows from a scoped discovery.

• —Under €25k: usually a focused first version of a single tool, or a bounded extension to an existing system.
• —€25k–€75k: often a web application or app with several roles and one or two integrations.
• —€75k–€200k: typically a platform with several integrations, higher security and availability requirements, or web and mobile at once.
• —€200k+: larger programmes where multiple systems, teams or markets come together.
• —Ongoing team: no project budget, but fixed monthly capacity that works on your own roadmap.

Our team is in Morocco, on the same working day as the Netherlands. Morocco's cost base makes senior engineering affordable on budgets that quickly run tight in the Netherlands, without the overnight handovers of offshore. The difference is in the cost structure, not the level.
