Custom Web App Development Cost
A custom web app built by an experienced Indian development team typically costs ₹2–6 lakh ($2,500–$7,000) for a simple app, ₹6–20 lakh ($7,000–$23,000) for a mid-complexity app, ₹20–60 lakh ($23,000–$70,000) for a SaaS platform or marketplace and ₹60 lakh+ ($70,000+) for enterprise systems. The same scope usually costs several times more with US or UK agencies because of higher hourly rates. Features, integrations, user roles and design quality drive most of the price.
- Simple web app: ₹2–6 lakh ($2,500–$7,000), 6–10 weeks.
- Mid-complexity: ₹6–20 lakh ($7,000–$23,000), 10–20 weeks.
- SaaS or marketplace: ₹20–60 lakh ($23,000–$70,000), 4–8 months.
- Enterprise: ₹60 lakh+ ($70,000+), 6–12 months.
- Budget 15–20% of the build cost each year for hosting, maintenance and updates.

Hourly Rates by Region
Rates vary by seniority and company; compare total project quotes, not only hourly rates.
| Where the team is | Typical agency rate |
|---|---|
| India (Gurugram and Delhi NCR) | about $18–$48 per hour |
| Eastern Europe | usually higher than India |
| US and UK | often $100–$200+ per hour |
What Drives the Cost
Features and screens
Each workflow, role and screen adds design, development and testing time.
Integrations
Payments, CRMs, ERPs and third-party APIs often take longer than expected.
Design quality
Custom UI and animations cost more than standard component libraries.
Security and compliance
SSO, audit logs, encryption and certifications add effort.
Scale
High traffic, real-time features and multi-region hosting need more engineering.
Data migration
Moving data from old systems takes planning and testing.
Running Costs After Launch
| Item | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Hosting and infrastructure | From about $20 a month for small apps to thousands for large platforms |
| Maintenance and updates | 15–20% of build cost per year |
| Third-party services | Email, SMS, maps, payments and monitoring, usually usage-based |
