Bespoke Software Development Costs
Money matters! Spend it wisely! We help build bespoke software products on budget and on time, all in a cost-effective manner.
ALL SOFTWARE PROJECTS ARE NOT EQUAL
Factors Impacting Bespoke Software Development Costs
Just like everything else in life, all custom software projects are not equal either. They differ based on not only individual software development companies but also the following high-level characteristics:
Technical Complexity
If your software projects are scientifically complex, it would add a lot to your software cost. Complexity could be a real-time collaboration between users of the app, video functionality with no lag, process flows with a lot of dependencies etc.
Platform Choice
Complex Business Logic
Technology Stack
Size of User Base
Custom Design
Custom user interfaces are rather complex to implement for the development team, so the cost of a custom interface will be higher than the cost of an interface built from standard components or with no design at all.
Advanced Personalization
High-Fidelity Prototypes
Avant-Garde Layouts
Micro- Animations
Third-party Integrations
Integration with third-party software systems such as payment gateways, maps, ERPs, or CRMs affects software development costs. Some of these integrations are straightforward but others can get complex and time-consuming for the software developer.
Comprehensive Customization
Data Migration
Secure Payment Integration
Geolocation Integration
Features & Functionalities
The number of features you want is the biggest cost driver. Screens, buttons, fields involved, and the amount of logic required can cause the custom software cost to change drastically.
Number of Screens
Real-Time Updates
Push Notifications

INDICATIVE PRICING FOR DIFFERENT SOFTWARE SYSTEMS
The actual cost for custom software depends on many factors and can only be scoped after a detailed discovery exercise with you. Take a look at some indicative pricing for different types of software systems based on their scope, complexity, team size, and time duration. On average, the cost of custom software, based on these factors, could fall in the following three ranges.
Designed for growing small businesses
Our Accelerator programs are designed for small businesses that are ready to grow up.
Grow up? Yes. What got you to this point won’t get you through the next stage of growth. It’s time to start thinking strategically instead of reacting, becoming a leader instead of an operator and building a high-performance team to carry the business forward.
While the details vary by company and industry, most companies reaching the grow up stage are:
basic
-
5-20 employees (varies by industry)
-
$1 – $5mm in revenue (varies by industry)
-
Proven in the market

Components of Software Development Costs
There are 4 major components of custom software development pricing, and each one of them carries a different weight in the total cost. Each one is a critical item and important for a successful product development effort. The following is a rough idea of the cost distribution for these major factors based on fixed-cost projects:
P.S: The cost distribution provided above is based on rough estimates. These software development costs vary based on size, complexity, and engagement model (i.e. the type of pricing model you choose, e.g. hourly rate, dedicated team etc.).
What We Need for A Realistic Cost
Estimation
In order to provide you with an accurate and realistic estimate for your project’s development cost, there are a few things we need from you.
Product Idea
It may seem obvious but the most critical contribution from your side is to effectively communicate your idea to us. Share your research on the idea, and any surrounding knowledge, so we can have a full understanding of what you want.
Feature List
Since your project’s complexity and scope directly affect its cost, it is good to be clear about what features and functionality you want your software to have. This does not have to be a final list of features, but should help us in a fair cost estimation.
Wireframes
Drawing up a few blueprints of what you want your app to look like helps us understand your requirements. However, we understand you might not have the technical expertise for wireframing, which is where our design team comes in!
References of Competitors
If you aim to develop software that competes with some other existing products, send us some references so we understand what exactly it is that you are looking for and how we can make your product stand out.
Technical Specifications
Let us know if you have some specific technical requirements – such as your preference for a particular development platform or technology stack – you want us to follow for your software development project
Frequently Asked Questions
What are your software development costs?
The costs of software development vary from project to project based on various factors, such as the scope, requirements, and technical complexity. We will determine the cost of your project after a thorough discussion with you to understand your requirements and assess the scope of your project.
The final cost of software development comprises four major components: Development, Project Management, Quality Assurance, and UI/UX Design.

What kind of contract options do I have?
There are four options which you can choose from:
1. Fixed-price fixed-scope model: If you have well-defined requirements and a pre-decided timeline for your project in mind, a fixed-cost model would work best for you.
2. Dedicated team model: If you feel that (a) your project requirements may change over time or (b) you will need to hire specialists for multiple projects over time but you don’t have the budget for it, you can choose to have our dedicated team of experts assigned to you.
3. Time-and-materials model: If you are unable to decide on a fixed scope, timeframe, or cost for your project, you can go for this model so that your project can be divided into smaller phases over time incurring varying costs.
4. Hybrid model: This model works best in situations where there are frequent fluctuations in the project workload or requirements set.

How detailed a set of requirements is needed to get a project estimation for us?
Since the first step of a project estimation exercise is to fully understand the project’s requirements, we always urge our clients to provide us with as much information as possible that helps describe the project, such as the set of functional and non-functional requirements, business logic, competitive landscape, personas of end-users, wireframes etc.
We understand that you might not have all the answers when you reach out to us in the early stages, but any material that helps describe the project is welcome.

What are Datazo InfoTech's terms of payment?
Payments are based on certain milestones. There is generally an upfront payment that is required to initiate the project followed by further payments at different stages of the product development cycle. You can expect a total of 4-5 payment milestones.
How can I get started?
An important step to get started with your project is communicating your requirements to us. After you contact us, we conduct an initial discussion to understand your requirements to quickly determine the indicative project scope and costs and identify any significant project risks.
I have drawn up some wireframes for my product idea. Can you work with those?
Most clients who approach us expect us to start from scratch, i.e. at the discovery stage where we note the requirements of the clients. Then comes the rest of the software development process, including software design and architecture. However, if you already have a design in mind in the form of blueprints or wireframes, that’s great, you already have a head start! We can go through them together and discuss how to build your product further upon them.
