Custom development is also known as bespoke, or tailor-made software. It refers to the process of designing software applications to address a specific need within a specific group of users. Unlike more traditional development solutions, custom-made applications are designed with your unique business goals and needs in mind, saving you the trouble of adjusting your operations to the offered functionality of a pre-developed software product.

At our company, before proceeding to the development process, we take our time to learn about your values and key expectations from the product you want us to create and base all our suggestions on an extensive market and user research, so you can be certain that the selection of features you’ll receive in the end will be the right fit.

The question you probably have in mind is “Will paying for the development of a custom app turn out to be more expensive than opting in for a pre-developed solution?”. The short answer is: “Yes, at least in the short run”.

Because in the long run, the costs of adapting to predefined software, the costs of integration, scaling up etc. might prove to be higher. Or it might even be that the money put into deployment of this solution will be just thrown away if the software isn’t able to meet some crucial requirements.

The bottom line is that the overall cost of a project is a highly individual matter, as it depends on a variety of factors, such as the number and nature of some specific features you want to include, the amount of people involved, the country where your software agency is based, and many others. We explain the detailed process of calculating the estimated price of app development in this article, so make sure to check it out for more details.

There’s no universal answer to this question, as the core idea behind bespoke software is that it’s tailored just for you. So, technically, it could have all the benefits you require to address your current issues. But let’s be more specific.

We’ve already covered some key benefits of custom app development, such as better resource management, higher optimisation, personalised automation, or significantly greater brand engagement. However, the list doesn’t end here! Among other things, custom software can help you:

Custom solutions are made with purpose. They are well thought out and they exist to address pre-defined challenges. At the same time, the nature of customer applications allows for alterations, modifications, and scalability, if the future demands it. Basically, you go with custom software when you know exactly what you want, at least for the time-being.

Instead, if your business is in the very beginning of its journey and you are not quite sure about your market, audience, and potential challenges, off-the-shelf applications written with pre-existing frameworks may just be enough.
