What "cheap" custom software actually means when one senior writes it
Almost every founder who lands on this page is staring at two quotes: a 5,00,000 BDT proposal from a Dhaka agency that sent six pages of buzzwords, and a 90,000 BDT WhatsApp message from someone’s nephew. Both are wrong for different reasons. The agency price is loaded with 6 people you will never meet.
The nephew price has no plan for what happens when your data hits 50,000 rows, when a delivery boy needs the app offline in Mirpur traffic, or when bKash changes its IPN format. Cheap custom software in Bangladesh only works when somebody senior carves the scope down to what you genuinely need on day one — and refuses to bolt on the things that look good in a slide deck but do not move the business.
I am RH Fardin and I have been writing custom tools for Bangladeshi businesses for about five years — POS for small retail chains, inventory and dispatch for distributors, simple ERP layers for garment subcontractors, booking systems for clinics, school admin tools, and dashboards that pull from bKash, Nagad, SSLCommerz and Pathao. I do all of it myself, which is the only reason an affordable price can also be a real piece of software. There is no project manager between you and the code. The person you message at 11pm with a bug is the person who wrote the bug.
The realistic floor for genuine custom software in BD is around 3,00,000 BDT. Below that you are not actually getting custom software — you are getting a WordPress site, a Bubble.io prototype, or a Google Sheet with a form on top. Those are all fine starting points and I build them too, from 50,000 BDT to 1,50,000 BDT, if that is what your business actually needs. I will tell you which one fits before you pay a taka, and I will tell you straight if a 50,000 BDT website plus a smart spreadsheet workflow would beat a half-built custom tool.
What I will not do is take your money for a cheap quote, vanish for three months, hand you a half-broken admin panel, and then quietly raise the price when bugs show up. The whole point of working with one senior operator is that you get one number, one timeline, one accountable human, and software that survives past launch week.
