The least-answered question in this industry, so here it is: most focused business systems we build land in the low-to-mid four figures, larger multi-module platforms in five. Below is what moves the number, how fixed pricing works, and how it stacks up against years of subscriptions. Worth remembering as you read: the real return isn't the money, it's the hours of admin you stop doing every week from the day it goes live.
What moves the price is the number of distinct things the system must do — screens, roles, workflows — not how much coffee we get through building it.
Each external system (accounts, payments, couriers, calendars) is another handshake to build. Some shake hands politely; some need a firm word.
A clean CSV is quick. A decade of creative spreadsheet history takes a little archaeology, and occasionally a hard hat.
Internal tools can be plain and proud; customer-facing systems earn their design budget by not looking like a tax form.
Every business differs — these are real 2026 ranges from actual builds, not teaser rates (web apps & portals start from £2,500, as on our pricing). No subscriptions, no per-user fees, you own the result.
