3 Simple Steps to Get High-Quality Software Without Breaking the Bank

Our Pricing Approach to Software Development

At We Build Software, we believe that high-quality software doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag. But here’s the truth you get what you pay for, and that’s especially true in the world of software development.

We focus on what matters: Value

We’re all about value-driven development. That means we prioritize the features and solutions that matter most to your business. We’re not here to just build software for the sake of it. If something doesn’t make sense for your business, we’ll tell you. Instead, we’ll offer smarter alternatives that actually bring you value. Your success is our success, and we want to make sure the software we create works for you.

We practice low-risk delivery

Small, functional deliveries

We deliver in small, functional pieces. These pieces are big enough to bring real value to your business, but small enough to avoid any major financial strain. This allows you to see progress regularly, making sure we’re heading in the right direction and you’re getting what you need without worrying about over-spending or delays.

Long-term thinking

Most of the solutions we build are made for the long run. We don’t just build and walk away — we continue to extend and improve the software over time. By tracking key metrics, we ensure the software helps your business run more efficiently, and we keep it aligned with your goals as your business evolves.

Pricing of software development consists of

Software development pricing isn’t one-size-fits-all. It breaks down into a few key areas — some of which are mandatory, while others depend on the features you need. Here’s how we do it:

Custom software delivery

This is the core cost of your project — designing, building, testing, and launching the software that’s built just for your business. It covers everything we do to create the solution you need.

Operational costs (hosting, cloud)

These are the costs for the infrastructure that powers your software. Whether it’s hosted in the cloud or on-premise, we’ll recommend the best option for your needs, ensuring it’s both scalable and cost-effective.

Backups

We take data security seriously. We offer backup solutions to make sure your data is safe and recoverable when needed. Depending on your needs, backups may be included in your operational costs or billed separately.

Storage

Whether it’s databases, files, or other data, we’ll set up the storage solutions that fit your software. Costs will vary depending on how much data your system handles, and we’ll help you optimize storage to keep costs in check.

Third-party services

If your software relies on third-party services like payment processors, email, messaging, or e-signatures, you’ll only pay for what you use. We’ll integrate the services you need and make sure you’re not paying for anything unnecessary.

Transparent pricing, no surprises

We get it, pricing can be confusing. That’s why we keep everything transparent and flexible. We’ll work with you to choose the best pricing model for your project, whether it’s a custom web app, enterprise software, or a SaaS platform. No hidden fees, no gimmicks, just clear and straightforward pricing.

Custom quotes for your project

Every project is unique. That’s why we provide custom quotes tailored to your specific needs. After we understand your project’s scope and what’s most important to your business, we’ll send you a pricing structure that makes sense based on:

Custom software delivery

This is the core cost of your project — designing, building, testing, and launching the software that’s built just for your business. It covers everything we do to create the solution you need.

Project complexity

The overall difficulty and scope of the project — more complex systems take more time and resources to build.

Required features

The number and type of features you need will directly affect the cost. More features mean more development and testing time.

Timeline

How fast you need the solution delivered — shorter timelines may require more resources and a higher cost.

Team involvement

The number of team members needed — from developers to designers to project managers — will influence the total project cost.
