Get a rough price range and timeline for a website or custom software project in Australia. Choose what you need and the numbers update straight away.
Estimated cost (AUD, no GST)
A$19,000 to A$63,000
Typical time: 8 to 14 weeks from start to launch.
A rough guide based on typical Australian prices, not a quote. Bigger software projects get a fixed quote after a paid discovery of 1 to 2 weeks.
How the numbers work
Each type of project starts with a typical price range for that kind of work in Australia. Your answers then move it up or down. A complex project costs more than twice as much as a simple one. Connecting to other systems adds 15% to 40%, and team or company logins add 10% to 25%.
What this calculator can't tell you
It can't tell you whether you should build custom software at all, or whether an off-the-shelf tool would do the job. It also can't tell you what to leave out of the first version to fit your budget. That's what the free 30-minute chat is for.
Cost calculator questions
It's a rough guide, not a quote. Real costs can fall outside the range once the details are known.
Because details change the cost. Another system that doesn't work as its documents say, a rule nobody mentioned early on, or extra people to consult can all add time. The range allows for that.
Sometimes it's not to build custom software at all, because an off-the-shelf tool does the job for less. If you do build, start with a small first version that fixes the biggest problem, then add to it later.
Hourly rates are lower in some countries. But time zones, slower feedback and rework can eat into the savings, especially on complex projects. We're not the cheapest option. You deal with one Brisbane developer and you own the code.
In a free 30-minute chat we can usually give you a rough range. For bigger software projects, the fixed quote comes after a paid discovery of 1 to 2 weeks (AU$2,500 to $8,500), and you keep the written plan either way. Websites have fixed prices: Launch is $799 and Growth starts at $2,500.
