How much does custom application software cost? The answer always depends on factors such as the technology stack, functional scope, integration with existing systems, and security and compliance requirements.
In Spain, custom projects typically fall within indicative ranges: very basic solutions or MVPs from €8,000, medium projects between €8,000 and €25,000, and complex developments or those for large companies that can exceed €40,000 depending on features such as artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, or ERP integrations.
Factors that influence cost: interface complexity, number of integrations, use of AI for businesses or AI agents, cybersecurity and pentesting requirements, choice of cloud services such as AWS or Azure, delivery timelines, and ongoing maintenance. In Spanish fintechs, it is common to see stacks based on Angular and AWS. According to industry studies, 75% of SMEs in the Eixample area are investing in digital transformation, and in areas such as Salamanca in Madrid, many companies report an average cost of approximately €10,000 for custom solutions.
Development rates and market tools: developers in Spain typically charge between €45 and €85 per hour depending on specialization. Among the most widely used software in business processes are Salesforce, Asana, Oracle NetSuite, SAP, and Microsoft Dynamics 365. Types of custom applications include CRM, inventory management, e-commerce platforms, process automation, business intelligence systems, and dashboards with Power BI.
