What a real web application costs to build in Dhaka, with the numbers in front of you.
Most agencies in Dhaka quote a web application price after three meetings and a vague PowerPoint. I publish the numbers up front. Custom web applications start at 3,00,000 BDT and scale by feature scope, user roles, and integration complexity. You see what drives the cost before you commit a single taka.

If you've called four agencies in Banani and Gulshan asking 'web application banate koto taka lagbe?', you've probably gotten four answers between 80,000 BDT and 25,00,000 BDT for the same brief. That isn't because anyone is lying. It's because most teams quote the project they wish you wanted, not the one you described. A web application is not a website. The price reflects logic, not pages.
I've been building web applications for clients in Dhaka and abroad for around five years, working solo as a senior designer and developer. Every quote I send is broken down by user role, by database table, by integration, by admin panel screen. If a feature gets cut after the kick-off, the price comes down. If you add a new dashboard view in week three, you see exactly what it adds. No 'change request' theatre.
For pure marketing websites, my floor is 50,000 BDT and the tiers are 50,000 / 90,000 / 1,50,000 BDT. Custom builds, which is what most web applications are, start at 3,00,000 BDT. That floor exists because the cheapest honest web app, a single-tenant tool with one user role, a database, authentication, an admin panel, and proper hosting, takes me at least four weeks of focused senior work. 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, 50% on launch. No surprise charges, no per-page upcharge for 'mobile responsive', no 'SEO package' bolted on at the end. The design-approval guarantee means if you don't approve the design direction in the first two rounds, I refund the advance. That's 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 genuinely moves the number on your invoice.
An admin-only tool is cheap. Add a customer role, an employee role, and a manager with approval rights and the price triples because each role needs its own permissions, screens, and edge-case handling.
bKash payment gateway, Pathao courier API, SMS OTP via SSLWireless, Google Sheets sync, Zoho CRM. Each external service adds 15,000 to 40,000 BDT of integration work, depending on how mature their Bangladesh-facing API is.
A web app with five database tables is straightforward. One with thirty tables, foreign keys, audit logs, and a reporting layer needs proper architecture, which is where senior pricing actually 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, exports to Excel, 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. Pricing includes VPS setup, SSL, daily backups, staging environment, and a deploy pipeline. Yearly hosting separate, usually 8,000 to 25,000 BDT depending on traffic.
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. No mandatory retainer.
Scenario one, a single-tenant inventory tool for a Bashundhara-based importer with two staff users, barcode scanning, supplier invoices, and one bKash payment screen for clearing supplier dues, lands around 3,50,000 to 4,50,000 BDT. About six weeks. Scenario two, a multi-vendor marketplace for a Mirpur-based service aggregator with vendor onboarding, customer accounts, bKash and Nagad checkout, Pathao courier integration, ratings, and a finance dashboard, lands between 7,00,000 and 11,00,000 BDT. Three to four months of work.
Scenario three, a school management system for a school in Uttara with student profiles, fee collection by bKash, attendance, exam results, parent SMS notifications, and teacher portal, lands around 5,50,000 to 8,00,000 BDT, depending on whether you need the bilingual Bangla-English interface (you usually do).
These ranges feel wide because they are. The honest answer to 'web application banate koto taka?' in Dhaka in 2026 is: tell me three things and I'll give you a fixed number within 48 hours. The three things are (1) who logs in and what they're allowed to do, (2) which external services you need to connect to, and (3) what the admin needs to see on a single screen every morning. With those answers, the quote stops being a guess and becomes a contract. WhatsApp me on +880 1XXX-XXXXXX with those three answers, or send a one-paragraph brief by email.

Six questions Dhaka clients ask me every week before signing.
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 depending on user roles, integrations like bKash and Pathao, and admin panel depth. 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-based brochure sites, which is my own pricing too for that scope. A real web application has authentication, a database, multiple user roles, and an admin panel. That work cannot honestly be done in Dhaka for under 3,00,000 BDT by a senior who'll still answer your call in month six.
For builds over 7,00,000 BDT I split into three: 40% advance, 30% at mid-build demo, 30% on launch. Anything smaller stays on the standard 50% advance, 50% on launch. All payments by bank transfer or bKash merchant. Invoice and contract signed before any code is written.
Yes, all three. bKash PGW and Tokenized Checkout, Nagad sandbox to live, Rocket if you have a merchant account. Integration cost is 25,000 to 40,000 BDT per gateway depending on flow complexity, included in the project quote rather than charged separately.
Six weeks for a simple single-role tool, three to four months for a multi-vendor or multi-role platform, five to seven months for anything with reporting, multi-language, and four-plus integrations. I share a weekly Loom demo so you see progress instead of guessing.
I'll tell you honestly. At 1,50,000 BDT you can get my top-tier website package with 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.
