We quoted a client $3,000 for custom software.
He said a freelancer would do it for $300.
He went with the freelancer.
Six months later he messaged us back.
The app crashed every other day. The freelancer had disappeared after delivery. No support, no fixes, no updates. Customer complaints were piling up and he had no one to call.
He ended up paying us $4,500 to rebuild the entire thing from scratch.
Total cost: $4,800.
More than what he would have paid us in the first place. Plus six months of lost customers, lost trust, and lost sleep.
This is not a one off story. We see this pattern constantly.
Cheap software is never actually cheap. The real cost just shows up later, when it is harder and more expensive to fix.
Here is what that $300 quote was missing.
No proper planning before coding starts.
No testing before launch.
No documentation, so nobody else can maintain it.
No support after delivery.
No scalability for when the business grows.
At Utilizor, our pricing reflects all of this. Planning, clean code, testing, documentation, and support after launch. Software that still works the way it should a year from now.
We are not the cheapest option. We are the option you do not have to fix later.
We have 3 spots open this month for custom software projects.
