What drives custom software development cost in Pune

Five factors dominate pricing: scope complexity, tech stack, team seniority, integration count and post-launch SLAs. A simple internal dashboard might cost ₹4–8 lakh, while a multi-tenant SaaS with payment, analytics and mobile apps easily crosses ₹40 lakh.

Hidden costs to plan for

Beyond development: cloud infrastructure (₹8k–60k/month on AWS), third-party APIs (payments, SMS, email), security audits, and ongoing maintenance at 15–20% of build cost per year. A reputable Pune software company will spell these out before signing.
