Custom software development price in Bangladesh, written plainly so you can actually budget.
Most BD agencies quote a single round number and bury the assumptions. I scope your software properly first, then quote a fixed price so the bill at launch matches the bill you agreed. Web platforms and admin tools start at 3,00,000 BDT for true custom builds; lightweight database-driven sites with admin panels can land in the 90,000-1,50,000 BDT tier. 50% advance, 50% on launch, bKash or Nagad accepted.

The first thing most BD buyers notice when shopping custom software is the price spread. One vendor on Bashundhara R/A quotes 60,000 BDT for a "complete management system." A Banani agency quotes 9,00,000 BDT for what sounds like the same thing. A foreign-style firm in Gulshan says 18 lakh. They are not lying — they are quoting different products. The 60k version is usually a recoloured PHP template with a login screen. The 9 lakh version is actual scoping, custom data models, role-based access, real testing. The 18 lakh version adds project management overhead, account managers and a sales chain. Knowing which one you actually need is half the pricing conversation.
On this page I lay out what custom software really costs in Bangladesh in 2026, what drives the number up or down, and where my own pricing sits. I do not run an agency. I am one senior developer who scopes, designs, builds, deploys and supports your software end-to-end. That keeps overhead off your quote and keeps the person who quoted you on the keyboard when something breaks at 11 PM the night before launch.
My pricing philosophy is simple: a fixed price you can plan around, scoped in writing before any code runs, paid 50% advance and 50% on launch. If scope changes mid-build (it usually does, in small ways), I tell you the cost of the change before I do it, in writing, in BDT. No "final invoice" surprises. No "that wasn't included" arguments. No hourly meter quietly running while you wait for a reply on WhatsApp.
If you are comparing custom software development price BD quotes right now and the spread is confusing you, read the spotlight section below. It explains exactly what makes one quote 1,50,000 BDT and the next one 12,00,000 BDT — so you can read your own quotes with new eyes, regardless of who you end up hiring.
Six honest line items that move the price of custom software in Bangladesh up or down.
Before any number leaves my desk, you get a 3-6 page scope: user roles, screens, data tables, integrations. The quote ties to that document. No scope, no fixed price.
Brochure with light dynamic content sits at 50,000 BDT. Database-backed site with admin panel and forms: 90,000-1,50,000 BDT. True custom web software (multi-role, workflows, reports) starts at 3,00,000 BDT.
50% advance to start, 50% on launch — paid in BDT via bKash, Nagad, or bank transfer. No dollar invoices, no surprise VAT on top, no monthly retainer hidden in the contract.
You talk to the person writing the code. No project coordinator translating your requirements into a Trello card for a junior who has never met you.
If you add a new module mid-build, I quote it before I build it. You approve in writing. The final invoice has no surprises — every taka was agreed to in advance.
You see and approve the UI on every key screen before development gets deep. If a screen does not feel right, we iterate. You never pay for software you have not signed off on visually.
Five variables move 90% of the price. First: number of user roles. A tool with one admin and one customer is cheap; one with admin, manager, accounts, sales rep, technician and end-customer costs 4-6x more because every role needs its own screens, permissions and tested flows. Second: data model complexity. A simple product catalogue is small. An inventory system with batch numbers, multi-warehouse stock, supplier ledgers and FIFO costing is a different animal.
Third: integrations — bKash payment gateway, Pathao courier API, SMS OTP via SSL Wireless, Google Sheets sync, accounting software hand-off. Each external system is a small project of its own. Fourth: reporting depth. A dashboard with three numbers is one afternoon. A real BI layer with filterable date ranges, exports to Excel and PDF, drill-downs by branch and category is weeks of work. Fifth: testing and edge-case discipline.
Cheap quotes skip this entirely, which is why those tools break the first time a user enters a Bangla name with a comma in it.
Concrete BD numbers from real projects I have scoped this past year: a single-admin job-card system for a small workshop in Mirpur — 1,50,000 BDT. A multi-role inventory + sales + reporting platform for a mid-sized importer in Chattogram with bKash and SMS integration — 4,80,000 BDT. A customer-facing booking portal with admin dashboard, bKash payments and SMS confirmations — 3,80,000 BDT. A full ERP-style platform for a 40-person company with accounts, HR, inventory and 6 user roles — quoted at 12,00,000 BDT and built over 4 months.
If your software sounds like one of these, you now have a rough number to compare other quotes against. If a vendor quotes a fraction of these for the same scope, ask hard questions about who is actually building it and what "done" means in their contract.

Real pricing questions BD founders ask before commissioning custom software.
Honest range: a simple single-user tool with admin panel starts around 90,000-1,50,000 BDT. Multi-role business software with workflows, dashboards and integrations starts at 3,00,000 BDT and commonly lands between 4,00,000-8,00,000 BDT. Full ERP-style platforms can pass 10,00,000 BDT. The answer for your project depends on the 5 variables in the spotlight above — that is why I scope before I quote.
Because they are different products. A 25,000 BDT 'system' is almost always a CodeIgniter or PHP template you do not own, hosted on shared infrastructure, with no scope document, no testing and no roadmap. Custom software is built around your actual workflow, owned by you, deployable anywhere, and supportable for years. If your business is simple enough to fit a template, the template is the right answer. If your workflow is the reason customers pick you, custom is the only thing that will work.
Fixed price, every time, against a written scope. Hourly billing rewards the slow vendor and penalises you when you ask questions. Fixed price forces me to scope properly upfront and forces you to think clearly about what you actually need — both are healthy.
50% advance to kick off, 50% on launch. All in BDT. bKash, Nagad, bank transfer, or cash — your preference. For projects above 5,00,000 BDT I am open to a 40/30/30 milestone split. No retainer, no dollar invoicing, no hidden VAT line at the end.
Domain registration, server/hosting costs, third-party API fees (bKash merchant fees, SMS gateway top-ups, Google Maps API), paid plugins or licences, and content/data entry beyond what we agreed in the scope. These get listed transparently in the quote so you can budget them separately.
A 1,50,000 BDT admin tool: 3-5 weeks. A 4-5 lakh multi-role platform: 8-12 weeks. A 10 lakh+ ERP-style build: 14-20 weeks. Timeline is locked in the scope document along with the price. I do not stack 8 clients at once — when I commit to your dates, I have the calendar to actually hit them.
