Pricing

How much a custom app costs in own code

The price of a custom app depends on complexity, not templates. We estimate development in own code with a clear scope, no hidden costs and no paying n8n, Make or Zapier licences for every automation.

How much a custom app costs in own code

Cost of building a custom application with own code matters when estimating custom app pricing in own code, with no dependency on third-party tools or recurring fees. Before selecting tools, we define the journeys, data and decisions that must remain under your company's control.

We work from Barcelona and Madrid and remotely with teams across Spain, Europe, LATAM and the United States. The process combines decision sessions, verifiable releases and documentation so progress stays visible.

We hand over code, repositories, configurations and documentation in accounts owned by your company. You can therefore audit, evolve or change supplier without relying on private access or licences.

The price of a custom app depends on complexity, not templates. We estimate development in own code with a clear scope, no hidden costs and no paying n8n, Make or Zapier licences for every automation. That is why we prioritise a maintainable, measurable solution ready to evolve without rebuilding its foundations.

THE CHALLENGE

The challenge of a custom application

a figure is chosen without visible scope, risks or priorities

  • Open functional scope

    A custom application without closed user stories makes it impossible to give a firm, realistic quote.

  • Target platform and devices

    Developing for web, iOS and Android multiplies the cost if the actually needed platforms are not decided properly.

  • Maintenance and releases

    The cost of keeping the app in the stores and fixing incidents usually falls outside the initial budget.

APPROACH

How we fix making investment decisions with judgement

We move forward with measurable decisions and releases that already add value.

  1. User story definition

    We write the use cases and main screens to set a measurable scope before estimating.

  2. Technology selection

    We assess native versus cross-platform development based on budget, features and performance requirements.

  3. Iteration-based estimation

    We budget in verifiable development cycles to control progress and adjust priorities without surprises.

  4. Post-launch maintenance plan

    We include support, OS updates and store management in the total cost.

DELIVERABLES

What a custom application leaves ready

We deliver an operational foundation your team can govern and keep improving.

  • Prioritized feature backlog

    List of user stories with their estimated complexity to size the whole project.

  • Phased budget

    Cost of each development iteration, with delivery milestones and defined acceptance criteria.

  • Clickable prototype

    Interactive mockup of the application that validates the user experience before investing in development.

  • Maintenance contract

    Support, bug-fixing and store release conditions for the post-launch phase.

TRUST

Technology applied to real operations

We estimate from real delivery experience, explaining assumptions before promising a fixed figure.

  • Scope, assumptions and risks visible before the project is committed.
  • Integrations, permissions and data designed for real operations.
  • Reviewable releases before the solution reaches the whole organisation.
  • Code, configuration and documentation under your company's control.
