starts with the scope.

Why custom software pricing varies

A useful estimate needs more than a feature list. It depends on the workflows, users, data, integrations, platforms, and decisions the team needs to make.

At Statum, we discuss scope, complexity, dependencies, and timing. We try to keep the first release focused and make assumptions visible so the estimate can be evaluated properly.

The value of custom software should be discussable. It may reduce manual work, improve visibility, connect systems, or support a product that standard software cannot represent.

Scope

Number of features, user roles, and screens.

Integrations

Connections to M-Pesa, KRA, Banks, or CRM systems.

Platform

Web, Android, iOS, or all three.

Timeline

Rush projects require more resources and engineer hours.

Engagement Models

Choose a structure that matches how the scope is expected to change.

01

Project-Based (Fixed)

Useful for a well-defined first release or internal tool. Scope, assumptions, milestones, and handover are agreed before work starts.

  • Clear Scope
  • Fixed Budget
  • Milestone Payments
02

Dedicated Team

Useful when priorities will evolve over several months and the client wants a regular development arrangement with agreed roles and availability.

  • Full Control
  • Scalable Resources
  • Monthly Billing
03

Retainer / SLA

Useful after launch for agreed maintenance, fixes, improvements, and support. Response expectations and included work are set out in the arrangement.

  • Planned maintenance
  • Fixes and improvements
  • Agreed support terms
