Software development pricing

Websites start at $1,500 and are delivered within 48 hours. An optional care plan covering hosting, updates and small edits is $150 per month. If you also want customers booking and filling in forms online, a website wired to the scheduling tool you already use starts at $3,500, typically 1–2 weeks. Larger websites and web applications with features like accounts, booking or payments built from scratch are quoted after a discovery call, based on scope.

Custom software starts at $2,500 for a single automated workflow. Typical starting prices: payments and integrations from $5,000, portals and AI assistants from $10,000, booking systems from $15,000, CRMs from $20,000 and mobile apps from $25,000. After a discovery call you receive a written scope with a fixed price and timeline before any work starts.

Multi-tenant SaaS platforms are built on a retainer starting at $20,000 per month, with a 3-month minimum. Most platforms take 3–12 months depending on complexity and depth. This is a fully functioning, production-ready product, not an MVP or prototype. Infrastructure is billed at cost, and a care plan keeps the platform maintained after launch.

No. They're priced separately so the build price stays honest and you always know what your software costs to run. Hosting, databases, email, SMS, AI usage and payment processing are billed by each provider at cost, to accounts in your name. Expected costs are estimated in your written scope. Maintenance is an optional care plan: $150 per month for websites, including hosting, or from $250 per month for custom software, typically 15–20% of the build cost per year.

$12,000 a month for two days a week, which is about 9 days a month. One commitment rather than a range, so you are not left working out how many days you need before you can work out the price. There is a 3-month minimum, month to month after that. That is the full-cash figure. Cash retainer, equity, or a blend of the two all work. Equity buys down the retainer: the more of the upside I hold, the less you pay each month. We agree the split before the engagement starts. I want skin in the game. Taking equity means I'm measured by whether the product still works in three years, not by hours billed this month. The retainer covers technical leadership: strategy, architecture, vendor and team oversight, hiring and investor support. Build work is scoped and priced separately, or delivered by your own team under my direction.

Prices are reviewed periodically and may change without notice. The figures shown are starting points for new engagements; the price for your project is the one in your written scope, and it is fixed once we both agree to it. So a quote you have already received does not change underneath you. The starting prices published here may differ by the time you read them, and are confirmed on a discovery call.

A website is delivered within 48 hours. Custom software timelines depend on scope and are agreed before work starts. Multi-tenant SaaS platforms typically take 3–12 months.
