In the first quarter of 2025, the cost of hiring a software company in Spain largely depends on the complexity of the project, the technologies used, and the complementary services required. As a guide, projects can range between €5,000 and €100,000 depending on scope. Simple projects or MVPs may fall at the lower end of the range, while custom enterprise solutions with integrations, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity requirements reach the upper end.
Factors influencing the price include team size and experience, delivery timeline, need for cloud services, security requirements, and ongoing maintenance. According to the Gartner Q1 2025 report, in the 22@ district of Barcelona, typical engagements range between €8,000 and €25,000, while in the Chamartín technology corridor in Madrid, typical projects usually vary between €10,000 and €30,000.
When comparing SaaS alternatives for business functions, popular packages such as HubSpot, Oracle NetSuite, Salesforce, or Asana typically offer plans from approximately €1,200 to €3,600 per year, but these services do not always cover specific needs that custom software does solve, such as internal automations, AI agents, or integrations with legacy systems.
