Custom software development price in Dhanmondi, written out line by line — so you know what your taka pays for before you transfer a single advance.
If you have already asked two or three places in Dhanmondi 'koto taka?' and gotten a 40,000 BDT freelancer number from one and a 7-lakh software-house number from the next, this page is the missing middle. I am RH Fardin, a senior solo developer, and I price your software off a written scope — features, screens, integrations, roles — not off how expensive your address on Satmasjid Road looks. Projects start from 50,000 BDT.

Here is the pattern in Dhanmondi I want to fix. A diagnostic centre off Road 27, a coaching centre on Road 8, a boutique near Rapa Plaza — they all need the same thing, software that matches how their counter actually runs, and they all get quoted as if 'price' is one mystery figure handed down from the ceiling. One freelancer in a Facebook group says 35,000 taka. A 'software company' with a Mirpur Road signboard says six lakh. Neither one writes down what is inside the number, so you are left guessing whether you are being underbuilt or overcharged. You cannot compare two quotes that are both just a single line.
I build the price the opposite way: from the scope up. Before I give you a figure I ask the questions that actually move it. How many people log in, and do they each see different screens? Does it need to collect payment through bKash or Nagad, or just record cash at the counter? Five users or fifty? Does anything need to run when the internet drops? Does it talk to your existing accounts or stand alone? Each answer maps to hours, and the hours map to taka.
By the end you do not get 'custom software development price dhanmondi: 1,50,000' — you get a one-page breakdown where every line is a feature you asked for and can cut if the budget is tight.
The reason the number can be honest is that there is no agency tax buried in it. No project manager salary, no salesman's commission, no second-floor office in Dhanmondi to pay rent on. You talk to the person writing the code, and you pay for the code, full stop. I have been doing exactly this for Bangladeshi businesses for around five years, and I take a small number of projects at a time on purpose — so the price reflects real senior hours, not a roomful of juniors billed at a markup.
The floors are fixed and quoted in BDT. The smallest engagement is 50,000 BDT — a single, focused tool. Tighter business systems sit in the 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT tiers depending on scope. A genuine custom software product — proper database, admin panel, multiple user roles, payment and SMS — starts from 3,00,000 BDT and moves with scope from there. Always 50% advance by bank transfer or bKash, 50% on launch, with written design approval before development begins. No 'discovery fee', no maintenance retainer you never agreed to, no surprise change-request bill in month three.
When the next person in Dhanmondi quotes you a flat number, ask which of these six they actually priced. If they cannot answer, the number is a guess.
One person logging in is cheap. The moment your Dhanmondi clinic needs doctor, receptionist, lab and accounts to each see a different screen, you are paying for a real permissions engine. That single answer can double or halve the quote.
Recording cash at the counter is one price. Collecting tuition fees or patient bills live through bKash Merchant, Nagad or SSLCommerz — with OTP, callback and reconciliation — is real integration work, and it should be its own line, not hidden in a round number.
A list of customers with search is simple CRUD. Inventory across two boutique branches, or reconciling bKash receipts against orders, is days of database design before a screen exists. The price follows the data, not the page count.
Automatic Bangla SMS for report-ready, fee-due or appointment reminders is one of the cheapest lines on the quote and the one Dhanmondi owners value most. I price the gateway setup once and you pay the per-SMS rate to the provider.
A web admin panel your staff open in a browser is the base price. A customer-facing Android app on top of it is a separate build with its own scope. Most Dhanmondi businesses need the panel first and the app later — so I quote them separately, not bundled to inflate.
30 days of free bug fixes are inside every quote. New features after that are quoted as fixed-price items when you want them, never billed as a vague monthly retainer you forgot you signed.
Let me make the tiers concrete with Dhanmondi examples, because 'starts from 50,000 BDT' means nothing until you can picture it. At 50,000 to 90,000 BDT you get one focused tool that replaces one painful spreadsheet or register: a patient-registration and report-delivery screen for a small diagnostic chamber, a fee-and-attendance tracker for a coaching centre's single branch, or a simple POS-and-stock screen for a boutique. One or two roles, one database, cash recorded at the counter, no live payment gateway, deployed on a small VPS.
It will not have a customer app or three integrations — and it does not need them to earn back its cost in a quarter by ending the nightly register-versus-cash-drawer argument.
At 1,50,000 BDT you move into a proper system that ties a whole operation together — a clinic with doctor-wise commission, online report delivery and bKash bill collection, or a coaching centre with admission, results and automatic fee-due SMS to guardians. Three to five roles, one or two integrations, owner reporting you can open from home at night. Above 3,00,000 BDT you are funding genuinely custom software: multiple modules, a customer-facing app, several payment and SMS integrations, multi-branch data.
At that level the price stops being a list item and becomes a scoping session — I sit at your counter, watch the work, write the scope, and hand you one fixed figure with every line visible. Whatever the tier, the money moves the same honest way: 50% advance, 50% on launch, design approved in writing before a line of backend code is written, and the full source code is yours on launch day so the price you paid buys an asset, not a lease.

The real questions Dhanmondi clinic, coaching-centre and shop owners ask me before they commit a budget to custom software.
The honest floor is 50,000 BDT for one focused tool. Tighter business systems sit in the 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT tiers, and a full custom software product — database, admin panel, multiple roles, bKash or Nagad and SMS — starts from 3,00,000 BDT. The exact figure for your Dhanmondi business depends on how many user roles, which integrations, and whether you also need a customer app. I give you one fixed price after scoping, broken into lines you can see and cut, not a guess over the phone. Always 50% advance, 50% on launch.
Usually because they are handing you a free open-source script or a template they have already sold to ten other shops, with your name swapped in — not custom software built around your counter. That can be fine if your need is genuinely tiny. But if you want code that actually fits how your Dhanmondi clinic or boutique works, and one accountable senior person on it start to finish, 50,000 BDT is roughly the floor for that to be real rather than rushed over a weekend by a junior you will never reach again.
Itemised, always. You get a one-page breakdown where every line is a feature — patient registration, bKash collection, SMS reminders, reporting dashboard, customer app — with its own price, so you can see exactly what drives the number and drop anything to fit the budget. A single mystery total is how you end up overpaying or getting underbuilt. If your custom software development dhanmondi bd quote is one line with no detail behind it, that is a red flag from anyone.
Fixed price, tied to a written scope, every time. You pay 50% advance and 50% on launch. Hourly billing punishes you for the developer being slow — the longer it takes, the bigger your bill, which is a perverse incentive. A fixed price means I am motivated to scope it properly up front and ship on time, and you know the total before you commit a single taka of advance.
Fair concern, and it is the right one to ask in Dhanmondi where plenty of people have paid an advance and watched the developer vanish. Three things protect you: I quote against a written scope you approve, so the deliverable is on paper before money moves; you sign off the actual screen designs in Figma before I write backend code, so you see real progress for the advance; and the second 50% is only due on launch, when the working software is in front of you. I am one named, reachable person with a portfolio at rhfardin.com, not an anonymous account, and I can meet you in Dhanmondi before you pay anything.
The development price does not, because those are recurring costs you pay directly to third parties — and bundling them into my fee would just hide the real numbers from you. Hosting for a small-to-mid Dhanmondi business tool runs roughly 1,500 to 6,000 BDT per month to a provider like ExonHost or DigitalOcean; I size it to your actual load and set it up. bKash and Nagad take their own per-transaction merchant cut, which you arrange with them under your TIN and KYC. I handle every technical part and tell you the true running cost up front, so nothing surprises you after launch.
