By Keyner Trillos· Updated
In short
- Custom software in Colombia starts at COP 4,500,000 for an internal dashboard or an MVP, and can exceed COP 45,000,000 for a complete SaaS platform.
- The budget is made up of four phases: design and architecture, interface, server and database, and quality and launch.
- What moves the price most: the complexity of the business logic, integrations, roles and security.
Custom software lets you automate your critical operations, stop paying monthly licenses and own your data and your code. But how much does it cost? Here are the real ranges and how the budget is calculated.
Price ranges by type of software
| Type of project | Range in COP | Range in USD | Estimated time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Admin dashboard or internal MVP | 4,500,000 – 9,000,000 | $1,200 – $2,300 | 3 to 5 weeks |
| B2B portal or customer system | 9,000,000 – 18,000,000 | $2,300 – $4,500 | 6 to 10 weeks |
| Complete SaaS platform (multi-company) | 18,000,000 – 45,000,000+ | $4,500 – $11,000+ | 12 to 20 weeks |
These values are for reference. You can see our custom software plans.
The phases that make up the budget
- Architecture and design: user flows, screen design and validation before writing code.
- Interface: everything the user sees and touches, fast and adapted to any screen.
- Server and database: data model, secure authentication, roles and permissions.
- Quality and launch: load and security testing, and continuous deployment.
What determines the cost
- Business logic complexity: calculations, rules, approvals.
- Integrations: payment gateways, ERP, electronic invoicing, external APIs.
- Data model: how many entities and relationships the system handles.
- Security and roles: how many user types and permissions.
- Infrastructure: user volume, availability and backups.
Does it pay for itself?
Compare the cost with what licenses, manual hours and errors cost you today. We explain it in how to calculate the ROI of custom software and in custom software vs. SaaS.
