How pricing really works here
Why two Khulna businesses get two very different software quotes
Think of a printing press in Daulatpur that wants an order-tracking tool. Now think of a clinic near Khan Jahan Ali Road that wants patient records and appointment booking. Both call it "custom software," but they will never pay the same custom software development price in Khulna. Cost depends on the number of screens, the rules behind them, who logs in, and what the system must connect to.
If someone quotes you one round number before asking any of that, they are either padding for safety or planning to cut corners. I do neither.
Here is how I scope it. We talk through what the software has to do: the real workflow, not a feature wishlist copied from a competitor. I map the screens and the user roles. I list the integrations, like bKash or Nagad payments, SMS alerts, or an existing Excel or accounts system. I also note the reports you will really look at. That scope decides the tier.
A focused internal tool sits near 50,000 BDT. Something with several roles, dashboards and payment handling lands around 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT. A full platform with deeper logic and integrations starts at 3,00,000 BDT. The number follows the work. It is not pulled from the air.
Payment is set up to keep both of us honest: 50% advance to start and 50% on launch. You never hand the full amount upfront to someone you just met online. And I am not building for weeks on a promise. Before I write production code, you approve the design. That is the design-approval guarantee. If the look and flow are wrong, we fix them at the design stage, where changes are cheap, not after the system is half-built.
You also deal with me the whole way. There is no sales rep who vanishes after the advance. There is no project manager passing messages to a team you never meet. If you message me about a bug or a change six months from now, the person who replies wrote the code. Many Khulna owners have been burned by a developer who went quiet. For them, that single point of contact is usually worth more than a few thousand taka off the quote.
