Pricing

What a custom web application costs

Web application budgets are driven by roles and integrations far more than by page count. Ten screens with four user types and an ERP connection costs more than forty simple ones.

How delivery runs

01
Scoping
One to two weeks on the real workflow, systems and data. Output is a written scope and an indicative band.
02
Phased plan
The first usable release is identified explicitly so spend produces something usable early.
03
Fixed first phase
Phase one is quoted as a fixed price where scope allows; later phases are re-estimated with real velocity data.
04
Change log
Anything added after sign-off is estimated and scheduled in writing, so the budget never moves quietly.

Realistic timeline

Weeks 1–2

Scope, data model and screen inventory.

Weeks 3–9

Core application usable by a pilot group.

Weeks 10–16

Integrations, migration, rollout.

Build or buy

Buy something existing when

A standard SaaS tool matches the process closely
The process is not differentiating

Build custom when

Your process does not fit the products you have trialled
You need it joined to your ERP or CRM

What moves the price

Screen count and data complexity

Simple CRUD screens are quick; scheduling, pricing and allocation logic is where the hours go.

Real-time requirements

Live updates, concurrent editing and notifications add infrastructure and testing.

Offline and device support

Tablet and offline use in warehouses or on site changes the architecture and the cost.

Reporting depth

Operational lists are cheap; configurable analytics with historic snapshots is its own project.

Where projects go wrong

Budget set before scope

A number agreed before discovery is a guess. We give a band after a short scoping phase and narrow it once the workflow and integrations are documented.

Data migration priced last

Legacy data is rarely as clean as expected. We survey the actual export during discovery rather than assuming it at the end.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask

Is a web app cheaper than mobile?+

Usually, and far cheaper to maintain, because there is no store review or OS release cycle.

What about hosting?+

For most operational platforms, a few hundred euros a month — we size it during discovery.
