How much does custom software development cost?

Custom software cost depends on scope: how many features, how complex, and how many systems the software must connect to. Code and Trust prices fixed-price builds from $15,000, with the scope and deliverables agreed before work begins.

What determines the price

The main factors are the number of integrations, the complexity of the workflows, and the condition of existing data. A focused internal tool costs less than a multi-tenant platform connecting several external systems. The fixed-price model means the price is set for the agreed scope, not an open-ended estimate.

What is not included in the build price

Ongoing maintenance, new features, and continued improvements after launch are scoped separately. Retainers are available from $1,750 per month for recurring work. The build price covers the agreed deliverables through production deployment.

Getting an accurate estimate

An accurate estimate requires a written scope. Code and Trust produces a written scope and fixed-price estimate before any contract is signed. Start a project estimate or contact us to begin.
