What a real web application costs to build in Dhaka, with the numbers in front of you.
Most agencies in Dhaka give a web application price only after three meetings and a vague PowerPoint. I publish my web application development price in Dhaka up front. Custom web applications start at 3,00,000 BDT. The price grows with feature scope, user roles and how complex the integrations are. You see what drives the cost before you commit a single taka.

Say you called four agencies in Banani and Gulshan to ask 'web application banate koto taka lagbe?' and compared the replies. You probably got four answers between 80,000 BDT and 25,00,000 BDT for the same brief. That is why the web application development price in Dhaka feels so random. Nobody is lying. Most teams quote the project they wish you wanted, not the one you described. A web application is not a website, and the price reflects logic, not pages.
I have built web applications for clients in Dhaka and abroad for about five years. I work solo as a senior designer and developer. Every quote I send is broken down by user role, database table, integration and admin panel screen. If a feature gets cut after kickoff, the price comes down. If you add a new dashboard view in week three, you see exactly what it adds. There is no 'change request' theatre.
For pure marketing websites, my floor is 50,000 BDT, and the tiers are 50,000, 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT. Custom builds start at 3,00,000 BDT, and most web applications are custom builds. That floor exists for a reason. The cheapest honest web app takes me at least four weeks of focused senior work. That is a single-tenant tool with one user role, a database, logins, an admin panel and proper hosting.
Anything cheaper is either a template with a login form glued on, or a junior on Fiverr who will disappear after handover.
Payment is 50% advance and 50% on launch. There are no surprise charges and no per-page fee for 'mobile responsive'. No 'SEO package' gets bolted on at the end. Then there is the design-approval guarantee. If you do not approve the design direction in the first two rounds, I refund the advance. That is the most expensive promise a solo developer can make, which is why I make it.
Web application pricing in Dhaka usually hides behind 'depends on requirements'. Here is what really moves the number on your invoice.
An admin-only tool is cheap. Now add a customer role, an employee role and a manager with approval rights. The price triples, because each role needs its own permissions, screens and edge cases.
Think bKash payments, the Pathao courier API, SMS OTP through SSLWireless, Google Sheets sync or Zoho CRM. Each outside service adds 15,000 to 40,000 BDT of integration work. The cost depends on how mature that service's API is for Bangladesh.
A web app with five database tables is simple. One with thirty tables, linked records, audit logs and a reporting layer needs proper architecture. That is where senior pricing really earns its keep.
Most agencies in Dhaka quote the customer side and forget the admin panel. I quote both. A real admin panel with search, filters, Excel exports and role-based access is usually 30% to 40% of the total build cost.
A web app needs a real server, not shared cPanel hosting. My price includes VPS setup, SSL, daily backups, a test copy of the site and a deploy pipeline. Yearly hosting is separate, usually 8,000 to 25,000 BDT based on traffic.
The first 30 days of bug fixes are included in every quote. Ongoing maintenance is 8,000 to 20,000 BDT per month, based on feature volume. You can also pay per fix. There is no required retainer.
Scenario one is a single-tenant inventory tool for a Bashundhara-based importer. It has two staff users, barcode scanning and supplier invoices. It also has one bKash payment screen for clearing supplier dues. That lands around 3,50,000 to 4,50,000 BDT and takes about six weeks.
Scenario two is a multi-vendor marketplace for a Mirpur-based service aggregator. It has vendor onboarding, customer accounts, bKash and Nagad checkout, and Pathao courier integration. It also has ratings and a finance dashboard. That lands between 7,00,000 and 11,00,000 BDT, with three to four months of work.
Scenario three is a school management system for a school in Uttara. It has student profiles, fee collection by bKash, attendance and exam results. It also has parent SMS alerts and a teacher portal. That lands around 5,50,000 to 8,00,000 BDT. The final cost depends on whether you need a bilingual Bangla and English interface, and you usually do. These ranges feel wide because they are.
In Dhaka in 2026, the honest answer to 'web application banate koto taka?' is simple. Tell me three things, and I will give you a fixed number within 48 hours. First, who logs in and what can they do? Second, which outside services do you need to connect? Third, what does the admin need to see on one screen every morning? With those answers, the quote becomes a contract, not a guess. WhatsApp me on +880 1XXX-XXXXXX with those three answers, or send a one-paragraph brief by email.

Here are six questions Dhaka clients ask me every week before signing.
The floor is 3,00,000 BDT for the simplest single-role custom web app. Most builds in Dhaka land between 4,00,000 and 12,00,000 BDT. The cost depends on user roles, integrations like bKash and Pathao, and how deep the admin panel goes. I send a fixed quote within 48 hours of your brief, not a range.
Those 50,000 BDT quotes are for static websites or template brochure sites. That is my own price for that scope too. A real web application has logins, a database, several user roles and an admin panel. In Dhaka, that work cannot honestly be done for under 3,00,000 BDT by a senior who will still answer your call in month six.
For builds over 7,00,000 BDT, I split it into three payments. You pay 40% in advance, 30% at the mid-build demo and 30% on launch. Smaller builds stay on the standard 50% advance and 50% on launch. All payments go by bank transfer or bKash merchant. We sign the invoice and contract before any code is written.
Yes, all three. I handle bKash PGW and Tokenized Checkout, and Nagad from test mode to live. I add Rocket too if you have a merchant account. Each gateway costs 25,000 to 40,000 BDT, based on how complex the flow is. That cost is included in the project quote, not charged separately.
A simple single-role tool takes six weeks. A multi-vendor or multi-role platform takes three to four months. Anything with reporting, more than one language and four or more integrations takes five to seven months. I share a weekly Loom demo, so you see progress instead of guessing.
I will tell you honestly. At 1,50,000 BDT, you can get my top-tier website package with an admin dashboard, contact forms and basic content management. For a true web application with user accounts and business logic, save until you can fund the full 3,00,000 BDT floor. A half-built web app abandoned mid-project is worse than no app at all.
