Custom software is not priced by page count, but by domain logic, data model, integrations, compliance, operations, and handover. This page gives realistic budget corridors without package logic.
A reliable proposal is only possible once domain logic, user roles, data sources, integrations, operating model, and acceptance criteria are clear. Before that, every number is orientation.
Most effort usually sits in rules, data, permissions, error paths, migrations, tests, and handover. This is where long-term maintainability is decided.
Low entry prices often move cost into rework, technical debt, and vendor dependency. Senior-led delivery is meant to reduce total cost of ownership, not only explain the initial price.
A serious proposal separates visible functions from technical foundations. In custom software, architecture, data model, handover, and operations need to appear in scope or offers only look cheaper on the surface.
Two proposals can use the same feature names while carrying very different risks. The real difference is whether tests, data migration, security, operations, acceptance, and handover are concrete.

| Scope | Budget | Typical scope | Important risks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discovery / audit | from €6k | Scope, architecture, data model, risk analysis, roadmap | No production build yet; the goal is decision certainty |
| Bounded custom development | from €20k | Core workflow, backend/API, or small portal with clear boundaries | Scope must be tightly prioritized and acceptance-ready |
| B2B platform / regulated system | from €50k | Several roles, integrations, reporting, audit trail, operating model | Data, compliance, and handover drive effort more than UI |
| Product platform | from €100k | Tenancy, complex domain logic, scaling, lifecycle, and operations | Roadmap, team capability, and TCO matter more than initial feature count |

Because a fixed price without scope, risk, and acceptance clarification would be unreliable. Budget corridors help with orientation; binding prices follow discovery or technical scoping.
Yes, but usually as an audit, discovery, architecture blueprint, or tightly bounded stabilisation. Production-grade custom development usually sits above that.
Because some proposals price only visible features, while others include data model, integrations, tests, operations, security, acceptance, and handover. These differences decide the real total cost.
Core value, user roles, data sources, integrations, non-goals, acceptance criteria, operating model, and known risks. Without these points, a fixed price is more assumption than reliable proposal.
We respond within one working day. The first call qualifies scope, constraints, budget corridor, risk, and fit. Architecture decisions are handled in a paid discovery or audit phase; fixed pricing follows only after reliable scope clarification.
