How Much Does Custom Software Development Cost in 2025?

Understanding Custom Software Development Costs

One of the most common questions we get is "how much does custom software cost?" The honest answer: it depends. But let us give you real numbers based on 500+ projects we have delivered.

Quick Cost Overview

• Simple Web App (MVP): $15,000 - $40,000
• Medium Complexity App: $40,000 - $100,000
• Enterprise Solution: $100,000 - $500,000+
• Mobile App (iOS or Android): $25,000 - $150,000
• Cross-Platform Mobile App: $30,000 - $200,000

What Affects the Cost?

1. Complexity of Features: A simple CRUD app costs less than an app with real-time features, AI integration, or complex business logic.

2. Design Requirements: Custom UI/UX design adds 15-25% to the total cost but significantly improves user adoption.

3. Integrations: Third-party API integrations (payment gateways, CRMs, ERPs) add complexity and cost.

4. Team Location: US/UK developers charge $150-250/hour. Our teams in Pakistan and Philippines deliver the same quality at $40-80/hour.

How to Reduce Costs Without Sacrificing Quality

Start with an MVP: Launch with core features first. Add more based on user feedback.

Use Proven Technologies: React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL have large communities, making development faster and cheaper.

Choose the Right Partner: Offshore teams can deliver excellent quality at 50-70% lower costs.
