Custom software development company · fixed quotes

Custom software development, quoted as a fixed price.

Web apps, portals, internal tools and platforms, built by senior engineers who hand the repetitive work to AI agents. A fixed quote before work starts, a demo every week, and code you own.

The short answer

What you get from a custom software development company like Gigabit.

Gigabit builds custom software for companies that have outgrown spreadsheets, off-the-shelf tools or a first prototype: customer portals, internal tools, two-sided marketplaces, payment platforms and the APIs behind them. A senior engineer leads every build. AI agents take the repetitive work (tests, migrations, boilerplate, documentation), so a small team ships what used to need a large one.

Every build starts with a short scoping phase that ends in a written, fixed price. The published projects show the range: a logistics SaaS MVP for $48,000 in 11 weeks, a two-sided marketplace for $72,000 in 14 weeks, a B2B payments platform for $118,000 in four months. You own the code, the cloud accounts and the data from the first day.

What we build

The custom software we build.

Most projects take one of these shapes. Each ships with tests, CI/CD, monitoring and a hand-over your own team can run.

Web applications

Customer-facing web apps and SaaS products in React and Next.js with Node or Python back ends, multi-tenant from the first sprint when the product needs it.

Portals and internal tools

Customer, partner and staff portals that replace email chains and spreadsheets, wired to the CRM, ERP or billing system that holds the data.

Marketplaces and booking platforms

Two-sided platforms with search, messaging, reviews, payment holds and Stripe Connect payouts to vendors.

Payment and fintech systems

Payment flows, ledgers and reconciliation, with the audit trails and access controls a compliance review asks for.

APIs and integrations

The API layer and the connections to the systems you already run, documented so the next team can extend them.

AI features inside the product

Search, summaries, document extraction and agents built into the app, with evaluations that tell you when quality drops.

How it runs

Four steps, one fixed price.

01

Scope

One to two weeks to agree the users, the core workflows, the data model and what is out. It ends in a fixed price and a sprint plan.

02

Build

Two-week sprints with a demo on staging every Friday. You test the real software, and your feedback goes into the next sprint.

03

Launch

Load tests, a security pass and a rehearsed deploy with a rollback plan, with monitoring live before the first customer logs in.

04

Run or hand over

Keep the team as an embedded pod, or take it in-house with runbooks and a walkthrough of the code.

How it is priced

Published prices, mapped to the job.

Every price here is the same one on the pricing page. Work with no published price gets a fixed price in writing before it starts.

An honest read

When to hire us for this, and when not to.

A good fit when
  • The software is the product, or runs a core part of the business.
  • Off-the-shelf tools need so many workarounds that the workarounds are the job.
  • You want to own the code and the data instead of renting a platform per seat.
  • Someone on your side can decide what ships each week.
Look elsewhere when
  • A SaaS tool already does 90% of the job. Configure it instead; the platform pages cover most of them.
  • You need a marketing website. That is a Website Build on Webflow, WordPress or Framer.
  • Nobody on your side has an hour a week to review demos.

FAQ

Custom software development, answered

How much does custom software development cost?

It depends on the number of user types, workflows and integrations. Our published builds give the range: $48,000 for a logistics SaaS MVP in 11 weeks, $72,000 for a two-sided marketplace in 14 weeks, $118,000 for a B2B payments platform in four months, and $124,000 for a telehealth platform with a mobile app in five months. You get a fixed price in writing after scoping, before any build work starts.

How long does it take to build custom software?

Most first versions take 8 to 20 weeks. The fastest published build reached paying customers in 11 weeks; a platform with three EHR integrations and a mobile app took five months. Scope is the main lever, which is why the first phase cuts the feature list to what the first users need.

Who owns the code?

You do. Repositories, cloud accounts and credentials sit in your name from the first day, and the hand-over includes runbooks and a walkthrough of the codebase.

Where are your engineers?

Gigabit is registered in Wyoming and delivers from its engineering hub in Dhaka, with a daily overlap window for US and European teams and a senior engineer leading every build.

Do you use AI to write the code?

Yes, for the repetitive parts: tests, migrations, boilerplate and documentation. Senior engineers design the system, review every change and own what ships. That is how a small team can commit to a fixed price.
