The 5 main application development software in 2024

In 2024, the five most used environments and platforms for application development are .NET combined with Azure, Vue.js alongside Firebase, Ruby on Rails, React with Node.js, and Django with PostgreSQL. These stacks have become established due to their productivity, scalability, and library ecosystem, and according to data from the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce, 75% of Spanish SMEs choose one of these technologies for their projects.

In districts such as Gràcia and the Chamartín technology corridor, companies report clear improvements in efficiency and cost savings when adopting these platforms. The public sector in Spain is betting on .NET and Azure to streamline operations and improve citizen services, while B2B service experts recommend Vue.js and Firebase for their scalability and real-time capabilities. Retail in Madrid is seeing growth with Ruby on Rails, optimizing online stores and deployment times.

In addition to these technology stacks, SaaS solutions such as Oracle NetSuite, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive, and Microsoft Dynamics compete in the market, offering ready-to-use business features and different pricing policies. A custom ERP typically costs between €8,000 and €25,000, depending on scope and customizations. Launching and opening an app can usually range between €5,000 and €50,000, depending on features, integrations, and technical complexity.
