This software cost estimator draws on real data from over 130 delivered projects across web applications, CMS platforms, system integrations, and enterprise portals.
Every estimate accounts for four core variables: project type, feature complexity, third-party integrations, and delivery timeline. The result is a realistic cost range.
Faster timelines require larger teams, which increases cost. More integrations add development hours. Custom UI/UX design adds a complexity multiplier. The calculator factors in all of these.
Estimates are accurate within ±30%. For a precise number, our team runs a free 30-minute scoping call — no commitment required. Most clients leave that call with a clear budget range and a proposed project roadmap.
Custom software development typically costs between $15,000 and $200,000+, depending on scope and complexity. A simple web application with core features starts around $15,000–$30,000. A mid-size platform with integrations and custom UI ranges from $30,000–$80,000. Enterprise-grade systems with multiple integrations and complex workflows can exceed $150,000. Use the calculator above to get a range specific to your project.
The main cost drivers are project type, feature complexity, third-party integrations, UI/UX requirements, and delivery timeline. Each major integration (ERP, CRM, payment gateway) adds 15–30% to the base estimate, and fast-track delivery increases total cost by 20–40%.
The preliminary estimate covers core development, feature implementation, basic UI/UX, and testing. The detailed cost breakdown unlocked after entering your email — includes a phase-by-phase split: discovery, design, development, integrations, QA, and launch. Ongoing maintenance and hosting are quoted separately.

The Bits Orchestra software cost estimator is accurate within ±30%, based on real pricing data from 130+ delivered projects. The range reflects variability in team size and final scope — a free 30-minute scoping call narrows it to an exact proposal, typically delivered within one week.
Yes. The calculator covers mobile app development costs, including iOS, Android, and cross-platform projects. Select "Mobile App" in Step 1 to get an estimate tailored to mobile-specific complexity factors like native APIs, offline functionality, and app store deployment.
Timeline depends on scope. Small projects (simple web apps, basic portals) typically take 6–10 weeks. Mid-size projects (custom web applications, CMS migrations) take 2–4 months. Large enterprise systems take 4–8 months or longer. The calculator shows a timeline estimate alongside the cost range on the results screen.
