How the Calculator Works

Four inputs. Instant India-benchmarked estimate.

Instant ₹ or $ Estimate

Four inputs, one realistic range in INR with USD context — and the 2026 benchmark table is published right on this page, readable without entering an email.

🧮

Cost by Phase

Software budgets split predictably: discovery 5-10%, design 10-15%, development 50-60%, QA 15-20%, and project management ~10%. On a ₹10L project that's roughly ₹5.5-6L of pure engineering.

📊

Cost by Software Type

SaaS MVPs run ₹5-20L, CRMs and internal tools ₹8-25L, marketplaces ₹12-40L, and AI products ₹8-50L. The calculator places your build inside these real ranges.

🤝

Engagement Models Compared

Fixed scope suits well-defined builds under ~16 weeks. A dedicated team (₹1.2-2.5L/month per engineer) wins for evolving products. Time & materials fits audits, rescues, and surge work.

🌍

India vs US vs UAE Rates

Senior engineers bill ₹1,500-2,700/hr in India vs $100-200/hr in the US and AED 150-400/hr in the UAE — the core reason India-built software costs 40-60% less at comparable quality.

🤖

AI-Assisted Development, Honestly

AI coding tools make well-defined scopes 10-20% faster — savings we pass on in our rates. They don't remove architecture, integration, or QA cost, so treat 'AI-built software for ₹50K' claims with caution.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does custom software development cost in India?

In 2026, custom software in India costs ₹5-20 lakhs for a SaaS MVP, ₹8-25 lakhs for CRMs and internal tools, ₹12-40 lakhs for marketplace platforms, and ₹8-50 lakhs for AI products — with enterprise-scale systems running ₹50 lakhs to ₹1 crore+. All ranges include design, development, QA, and deployment. Use the calculator above for a range specific to your build.

What is the software development cost breakdown by phase?

Budgets split consistently across phases: discovery and scoping 5-10%, UI/UX design 10-15%, development 50-60%, QA and testing 15-20%, and project management ~10%. On a ₹10 lakh project that means roughly ₹50,000-1L for discovery, ₹1-1.5L for design, ₹5-6L for engineering, ₹1.5-2L for QA, and ₹1L for PM. Skipping discovery or QA to save money reliably costs more later.

How much does web app development cost?

A custom web app costs ₹8-25 lakhs in India in 2026 — covering user accounts, dashboards, business logic, API integrations, and a scalable backend over 8-16 weeks. Simpler single-workflow web apps land at ₹5-10 lakhs, while real-time or multi-role platforms push toward the upper end and beyond.

Dedicated team vs fixed price — which is cheaper?

For a well-defined scope shipping in under ~16 weeks, fixed price is usually cheaper and lower-risk — you pay for an outcome. For evolving products with continuous roadmaps, a dedicated team at ₹1.2-2.5 lakhs/month per engineer works out 20-30% cheaper than repeatedly re-quoting fixed scopes, and removes change-request friction. Time & materials (₹1,500-2,700/hr senior) fits audits and short bursts.

How much does SaaS development cost?

A SaaS MVP costs ₹5-20 lakhs in India: auth, subscription billing (Stripe/Razorpay), one core workflow, an admin view, and a multi-tenant-ready backend in 8-14 weeks. Standard builds land at ₹5-10L; multi-role, real-time, or integration-heavy SaaS pushes into the ₹10-20L band. Post-launch, budget 15-25% of the build cost per year for maintenance plus ₹5,000-50,000/month for cloud hosting.

How do Indian software development rates compare to the US?

Senior engineers bill ₹1,500-2,700/hr in India versus $100-200/hr in the US — so software quoted at $80,000-120,000 by a US agency typically lands at ₹25-40 lakhs ($30-48K) from a strong Indian team. The 40-60% saving comes from lower salaries and operating costs, not lower quality; the variable that matters is how well-vetted the team is.

Does AI-assisted development reduce cost?

Moderately, yes. AI coding tools accelerate boilerplate, tests, and standard CRUD work — on well-defined scopes that's roughly 10-20% faster delivery, which we pass on in our rates. It doesn't remove the cost of architecture, integrations, QA, or design. Separately, adding AI features to your product (chatbots, recommendations, RAG) adds ~₹2L+ — that's a cost line, not a saving.
