How much does custom software cost in India?

"How much will it cost?" is the first question every business owner asks, and the honest answer is: it depends on a few things you can control.

What drives the price

• Number of screens. A 5-page website and a 60-screen ERP are very different projects.
• Features. Logins, payments, reports, notifications and integrations each add work.
• Platforms. Web only is cheapest. Android and iOS apps add more, though a shared codebase keeps the cost down.
• Design depth. A clean template-based look costs less than a fully custom design system.
• Data migration. Moving years of data from spreadsheets takes real effort.

How to get a number you can trust

1. Write down the three problems you want the software to solve.
2. List who will use it: you, staff, customers.
3. Ask for a fixed quote with scope, timeline and payment milestones, not an hourly estimate that can grow.
4. Start with the smallest version that solves the main problem. You can add features later.

Red flags

• A price with no written scope.
• No demos until the end of the project.
• You don't get the source code at launch.

At ProQen we give a fixed price and timeline after a short call, show a working version every week and hand over all source code at launch. Ask for a quote and we'll reply within one working day.
