How much does a custom web app cost in India in 2026?
Indicative ranges: MVP web app (auth + dashboard + 1 core workflow): ₹6L–₹15L. Growth-tier (multi-user, RBAC, integrations, reports): ₹15L–₹40L. Enterprise-grade (multi-tenant, SSO, audit log, multi-region): ₹40L–₹1.5Cr+.
How long does a custom web app take to build?
MVP: 8–14 weeks. Growth-tier: 14–24 weeks. Enterprise-grade: 24–40 weeks. Driven by integration count + workflow complexity + compliance needs.
What's the difference between a custom web app and a SaaS product?
Custom web app: built for one company / internal use; single tenant; one customer = you.
SaaS product: multi-tenant, self-serve onboarding, recurring billing, designed to be sold to many customers. Architecture + cost differ. See our
SaaS Development FAQs.
What stack do you build web apps on?
Common stacks: Node.js + TypeScript + React + PostgreSQL (general purpose); Python (Django / FastAPI) + React (data + ML heavy); Laravel + Vue / React (ops + admin heavy); Go + React (high-performance). Stack picked by team capability + maintainability.
Do you build the API + backend infrastructure?
Yes — REST / GraphQL APIs, authentication, RBAC, audit logs, observability, AWS / GCP infrastructure, CI/CD, monitoring. Frontend + backend + infrastructure are all part of the build.
Will it scale to 10,000+ users?
Yes if architected right. We design for horizontal scaling, database query optimisation, caching, queue-based async work, read replicas, CDN. Scaling beyond 100,000 users is engineering-grade work — planned upfront.
Do you handle compliance (SOC 2, GDPR, DPDP, HIPAA)?
Yes — we build SOC 2 / GDPR / India DPDP / HIPAA-friendly architecture from day one (encryption at rest + transit, audit log, access control, data residency, breach detection). Audit certification itself is a separate engagement (~$15K–$50K).
Will I own the source code + database schema?
Yes — 100% transferred to your GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket. Work-for-hire SOW. You can self-host, switch vendor for AMC, or licence onward.
Can you integrate with our existing systems (ERP, CRM, SSO)?
Yes — SAP, Tally, Zoho, Salesforce, HubSpot, Okta, Google Workspace, Azure AD, custom legacy systems via APIs / file-based / RPA. Integration cost varies by complexity (₹1L–₹6L per integration).
Do you provide post-launch support + AMC?
Yes — monthly AMC (bug fixes, security patches, dependency updates, on-call). New features are scoped separately. Typical AMC: 15–25% of build cost annually.
How do you handle frontend complexity (data grids, custom UI)?
We use proven libraries: AG Grid / TanStack Table for complex grids, React Flow for diagrams, Storybook for component library + design system. Custom UI built on top of design system to ensure consistency + maintainability.
Can you replace our spreadsheet + manual workflow with a web app?
Yes — this is one of our most common engagements. Audit current Excel + email + WhatsApp workflows, design system replacement, build phased rollout, train team, measure adoption. Typical ROI: 30–60% time-saving + reduced errors.
