What does custom software cost?
No three-week quoting process just to hear a ballpark. Below is what the three ways of working together cost, and where the price of a build project comes from.
Clearly priced. No surprises.
You start with the free Growth Scan. If you want to go further, every phase has a fixed price, so you know exactly where you stand before we begin.

Why these are starting prices, not fixed ones.
Custom work is different every time. These are the six things that matter most for what a project ends up costing.
Number of processes
Automating one well-defined process is a different project than a portal that ties quotes, orders and invoicing together. The number of steps software has to take over drives most of the price.
Integrations with existing systems
A standalone tool is quicker to build than a system that has to talk to your accounting package, CRM or ERP. The better that package's API, the lower the cost of the integration.
Number of user roles
An internal dashboard for one team is simpler than a portal where clients, suppliers and staff each have their own permissions and screens.
How much AI is involved
Adding AI where it measurably helps, reading documents, drafting quotes, answering questions, costs extra development time. We only use it where it actually saves work.
Data migration
Moving existing data out of Excel or an old system is often underestimated work. The messier the current data, the more cleaning it takes.
How sharp the scope is
Knowing exactly what needs to be built lowers the price more than anything else. That is what the € 650 discovery is for: it makes the scope concrete before a quote exists.
Scope first, then a number.
A quote issued before the scoping conversation is a guess — and that guess is always priced in the client's disfavour. So we work the other way around: a free introductory call, then the € 650 discovery in which we walk through your processes and systems, and only then a fixed price for the build. If you go ahead with the build, that € 650 is credited.
What you get delivered is yours: the code lives in your own repository, with documentation. No per-user licences, and no lock-in — not even to us.
