How much does a project cost to build?
The cost to build apps, web apps, and portals depends on the amount of time involved to design and build. When we identify an initial ballpark price, we first have a discussion with you about your requirements. We want to understand what your business objectives are, and what features we think you need.
Then, with all of that in mind, we can compare your project to others we have worked on to estimate a price. If you are happy with that approximate price, then we can help you to plan your project, and get to a point where we can give you a fixed itemised cost.
Please be aware that apps and portals are software projects that often take hundreds of hours to design and develop. So building a bespoke project for under £7.5k is unlikely. It's possible with very simple requirements, but most of our projects are more than this.
If you would like to speak with the team to discuss your project so that we can give you a ballpark price, and answer your questions, then please complete the form on this page, or drop us an email to [email protected]. You can also browse our capabilities or see our work first.

What Our Clients Say
Scorchsoft helped us take our idea for an app and make it a reality. Everything from the planning meeting to decide what we really needed to the project management and execution was great. It was delivered on time - early in fact - and on budget. Highly recommend.
Rebecca PalserDragonfly IntelligenceScorchsoft is a brilliant company with fantastic knowledge of the mobile app industry. From the project management to the development team, they have been the perfect candidate for our project, and we can't thank them enough!
Lance ChorltonGapped OnlineWe're really pleased with the work Scorchsoft has done in developing our web portal! They have been accurate with timelines and budget, delivering a solid product that allows us to monitor and manage patients remotely while they use our novel medical device at-home. The "plan - design - build" approach has worked well and saved us time in the long-run by catching requirements and issues early.
Daniel GreenSensTrainI'm really pleased with how my app came out, it was exactly what I was looking for. The team at Scorchsoft are great at what they do and made the whole process as simple and easy as possible. Being someone who is not very tech savvy the set up and back end operations were done in a great easy to use manner even for myself which makes using my app stress free. Thanks to all the team!
Ruben CarrollMosaic MasterpiecesThe new Flourish Education website has already removed a lot of manual processes, freeing up both schools, candidates and internal employees time. We are delighted with the look and feel which is clean, professional and more engaging. We are also pleased with the decision to have an HD video background on the homepage, and building immediate trust with our clients by giving them a taste of what it looks like in the Flourish Education offices.
James HancocksMarketing Manager, Flourish Education I can't believe how quickly we started to see results with this project. Scorchsoft provided us with graphic-designed mockups of how the app would look once built, and we were able to sell the product for use by our first customer before the product was finished. Since launching in March, we have secured a major television network as a client who now uses Image Approvals to manage the talent approval process for their productions.

Frequently Asked Questions (About Getting a Free Quote)
Here are answers to common questions we receive about our quoting process.
The level of quality or complexity you choose to go for is a significant factor that influences the cost of your project.
Your tech project will consist of many sections, each of which contains several features and steps. Your project might include hundreds of different rules, actions and options.
Every requirement you have can be planned and built differently. There are simple, pragmatic ways that get the job done with less development time, and there are full-bells-and-whistles ways that deliver the best possible user experience but that take much longer to make.
As we get stuck into planning your project with you, we will highlight the tradeoffs between cost and quality of the various features you want to help you deliver the most value for money for your available budget. As a simple rule of thumb, fewer sections and screens usually means lower cost.
Another significant factor influencing project cost is the nature of the features you want to include. For example, if you want a simple app that lists some information where users don't need to log in, this will be a lot easier to program than an app that requires users to log in and have a profile. Many other features can contribute to your project's cost, such as in-app payments, push notifications, GPS tracking, and in-app reports and dashboards. So if your budget is tight, make sure that you only include features in your brief that you need, which will help you get the most value for money from your project.
If you know your business objectives and what you are looking to achieve, then please email us, complete the form on this page, or call us to let us know. Once we understand your goals, we will consider the work involved and estimate a ballpark quote for your project.
Yes, we can provide itemised quotes, though itemised quotes can take more time to put together than our free rough ballpark quotes. If you would like certainty about what your app will cost to build, I recommend that you start our detailed planning process.
Did you know that recent research shows that conducting discovery can reduce your risk of failure by 75% or increase your chance of success by 59%? (source: Nielsen Norman Group)
Let our team support you with this critical planning process, where we listen to your requirements and apply our expert knowledge to make suggestions to help you to build web and mobile software that achieves your goals.
We consider how long it will take to build to calculate a price. As you might expect, a project that takes 200 hours to complete will cost twice as much as one that takes 100 hours.
We consider planning, wireframing, specification writing, project management, UI design, UX, programming and development activities, testing, and deployment. All of these activities can influence the final cost.
We follow a 'Minimum Viable Product' philosophy to planning projects, and we will advise you in planning how you can deliver the most value to your budget.
Though we don't offer finance-based payment plans, one benefit of working with Scorchsoft is that we allow you to pay for your project in instalments as we build your project.
For example, if you had a £20k project that would take three months to design, build, and launch, we would usually split a project like this into four payments: one deposit payment, followed by payments at the end of each month.
