Software pricing that
starts with the scope.
Review the common ways we structure software projects, integrations, and ongoing support. Final pricing depends on the scope, information available, decisions required, and delivery arrangement.
Messaging and airtime pricing
Indicative rates for messaging and airtime services. Confirm current rates and provider terms before ordering.
Bulk SMS Messaging
Bulk messaging with volume bands for organisations sending notifications, alerts, or campaigns.
Airtime Distribution
Airtime distribution through an API, with rates and provider terms confirmed as part of the service.
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

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

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

Core features, clean UI, standard authentication.
