Cheap custom software development in Rajshahi that ships finished, gets tested, and hands you the source code — not a half-built login screen the developer walked away from.
I am RH Fardin, a one-person software shop building for Rajshahi businesses. The coaching centre near Shaheb Bazar tracking fees and results in three spreadsheets, the diagnostic centre on Laxmipur booking appointments in a paper diary, the mango exporter running a three-month season off one WhatsApp group, the silk house off Sopura with stock nobody can count — I build the tool that runs the work, and I hand you the code at the end. Cheap here means I cut the Dhaka agency markup and the middlemen, not the testing. Small tools start at 50,000 BDT; genuine custom systems from 3,00,000 BDT.
Tools from 50,000 BDT. Full custom software from 3,00,000 BDT. 50% advance, 50% on launch by bKash, Nagad or bank. ~5 years building in Bangladesh. One senior developer — the person you message is the person who writes the code and answers after launch.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

Here is the version of this story I hear most in Rajshahi. A coaching centre or a mill owner needs a real tool — a fee tracker, a stock register that two people can use, a result-entry system that SMSes parents — and someone points them at a bright student from RUET or Rajshahi University who will do it for 35,000 or 40,000 taka. The student is genuinely talented; that part is true. Then exams hit, or a job offer lands in Dhaka, and three months in you have a login page, one half-working table, a database nobody else can read, and a developer who has stopped replying on WhatsApp. That is not cheap custom software development in Rajshahi. That is paying 40,000 taka for an abandoned project — and then paying a second person to start over.
Custom software is not like a website. A broken website you can see — it looks wrong, a button does nothing. With software the bugs hide inside the logic: a fee that drifts wrong over a term, a result report that quietly double-counts a batch, a stock count that no longer matches the godown, an export that breaks the day your accountant actually needs it for the season. A cheap developer who does not test, does not handle the messy real cases, and does not document the code leaves you something that looks done and is not. In an education city where a wrong result SMS to a parent is a phone call you do not want, and for an exporter where a stock error in peak mango season is real taka, that hidden kind of broken is the expensive kind.
I built a genuinely low cost path into custom software in Rajshahi because there is a wide, painful gap between that 40,000-taka disappearing act and a Dhaka software house quoting eight to fifteen lakh with a six-month timeline and a project manager you never asked for. Most Rajshahi businesses do not need an enterprise platform with twenty modules. They need one tool that does one job correctly — track fees, manage appointments, run an exporter's season, count silk stock — and they need it to still work, and still be fixable, a year from now when this term's intake or this year's harvest comes round again.
When you hire me there is no chain for your requirements to get lost in and no junior to inherit a brief he never heard. Around five years writing code in Bangladesh, mostly for small businesses, coaching centres, clinics and traders who outgrew spreadsheets. 'Cheap' does not change how I work — you still get a proper scoping call, a written one-page scope you sign, design approved before I write a line, tested code, and the full source handed over so you are never trapped paying me forever. The whole project runs on WhatsApp and Google Meet, which is part of why the price stays low — you are not funding a Gulshan office from Rajshahi. And if your problem honestly fits a cheap off-the-shelf tool, I will tell you to buy that instead of paying me to build it.
Cheap should describe the price, not the engineering. Whether it is a 50,000 BDT tool or a 3,00,000 BDT custom system, every build ships tested, documented, and fully yours — these are not upsells.
The project does not stall the week before exams or harvest because I left for a Dhaka job — I am not going anywhere. You get a working, tested tool with a launch date in the contract, not a half-built login screen and a dead WhatsApp number.
Full source pushed to a repository in your name on launch day, plus the database and server access. Hire a local Rajshahi or RUET developer next year to extend it — nothing about your software is held on my laptop or held hostage.
I test the edge cases that break cheap software — the duplicate student, the wrong fee entry, two staff saving at once, the end-of-term result report, the season-end export. The logic bugs that only surface when they cost you money are exactly what I am paid to catch.
Student and batch records, attendance, fee dues with ageing, exam results and automatic SMS to parents — shaped around how a Rajshahi coaching centre or college actually runs an intake, not a generic 'school app' that fits nobody.
If the tool logs bKash and Nagad payments, reconciles a transaction ID against a fee or an order, or handles an exporter's advance-heavy payments, I build that matching logic carefully — because a payment bug is the one that quietly loses you actual taka.
We agree the exact features and the price in writing after one call. No 'sir aro lakh dui lagbe' surprise three weeks in. The scope does not silently grow, so you can budget the whole project from day one in BDT.
The real reason I can quote custom software cheaper than a Dhaka software house is that there is no house. No office lease in Banani, no sales team, no project manager forwarding your requirement to a junior who half-understands how a coaching centre records a fee or how mango orders pile up in season, and builds the wrong thing. You walk me through how the work actually happens now — which register lives with whom, where a parent's result query gets stuck, what breaks when your office assistant takes leave — and I am the one who designs the data model, writes the backend, builds the screens, wires the SMS gateway and bKash, and tests it. That structure removes the layers where most of the cost, and most of the miscommunication, hides. You pay for working software, not for overhead and meetings. And because I am one person and not a payroll, the same build that would carry a Dhaka markup lands at the 50,000 BDT floor when the scope is tight.
I also keep it cheap by being honest about scope, which is the single biggest cost-killer in custom software anywhere. Most projects blow their budget because nobody defined 'done' at the start, so features keep getting bolted on and the bill keeps climbing. I do the opposite: we write down exactly what the software must do, I quote that as one fixed number after a single scoping call, and we ship it — new requirements mid-build get discussed openly, never sprung as inflated change requests at the end. A focused single-purpose tool — a coaching fee tracker, a diagnostic appointment app, a basic stock and ledger for a mill or silk house — can sit at the 50,000 BDT tier when the feature list is tight. Add user roles, reports, SMS and payment integration and you are at 90,000 or 1,50,000 BDT. A genuinely custom system built from the ground up — multiple modules, multiple user types, branches, real reporting — starts at 3,00,000 BDT, and I will tell you plainly on the first call which band your idea falls into. Always 50% advance, 50% on launch by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer, design approved before any code — so you never pay in full for something you have not seen running. That is what cheap custom software development in Rajshahi looks like when 'cheap' means the price, not the corners.

It depends entirely on scope, but here is the honest range. A focused single-purpose tool — a coaching-centre fee tracker, a diagnostic appointment web app, a basic stock and ledger for a mill or silk house — can start at 50,000 BDT when the feature list is tight. Add user roles, reports, SMS and bKash or Nagad integration and you are at the 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT tiers. A full custom system built from scratch — multiple modules, multiple user types, branches, real reporting — starts at 3,00,000 BDT. I quote one fixed price after a single scoping call, not a guess over the phone, and it is always 50% advance, 50% on launch.
Because you are almost never buying the same thing. A 40,000-taka quote here is usually a talented student building version one cheaply with no real plan for live data, payment integration, testing or support — and the math at 40,000 taka means nobody can afford to test it properly, so they don't. It often works as a demo and breaks the moment your real students, patients or orders hit it, and the developer is frequently gone to Dhaka or buried in exams before you can get it fixed. By the time you pay the first person, then a second to start over from a database nobody can read, you have spent more than 50,000 BDT the slow, painful way. The 50,000 BDT floor is the lowest point at which I can ship something tested that I will put my name on.
Yes — in an education city like Rajshahi this is some of the work I do most. I build student and batch management, attendance, fee collection with dues and ageing, exam and result entry with automatic SMS to parents, and role-based logins for admin, teachers and front desk. To keep it cheap we scope it tight: we start with the one or two things actually hurting you now — usually fees and results — get that shipped at the lower tier, and add the rest later only if you need it. The first step is a call where you walk me through how you record admissions, fees and results today so the system maps your real intake, not a generic 'school management' template.
Yes, and tight scope is exactly how it stays cheap. For an exporter I focus the build on the few things the season actually depends on — order intake with advance and dues tracking, buyer and party ledgers, grading or lot records, godown stock and dispatch — so one system carries the three-month rush instead of a single overloaded WhatsApp group and a notebook only you can read. The software sits quiet most of the year and earns its price in season. We deliberately leave out the modules you would only use one week a year, which is part of what keeps it at a sensible number instead of an enterprise price.
You do, completely. The full source code is handed over on launch in a repository in your name, along with the database, server access and a plain-language handover document. This is the single biggest difference between cheap-but-real and cheap-but-trapped. A lot of low-cost developers keep the code so you have to keep paying them for every change — and a student developer often keeps it simply by disappearing with it on his laptop. With me you can take the codebase and hire any local Rajshahi or RUET developer to extend it. You are never locked in.
Yes. The 50% advance can come via bKash personal, Nagad, bank transfer, or international wire if you are paying from abroad, and I send a proper invoice with a transaction-reference field so it goes cleanly through your books. The remaining 50% is due on launch, once you have seen the software running on real data and signed off. You never have to come to Dhaka — the whole project runs on WhatsApp and Google Meet, with a design-approval step before any code — and you never pay the full amount up front for software you have not yet seen working. That protects both of us.
