Software Company Pricing: How to Calculate Project Costs
Table of Contents — English
Why Are Software Prices So Different?
You can receive quotes 200-300% apart from two companies for the same project. Four core reasons: scope interpretation (one includes everything, the other takes the minimum), team seniority (junior-heavy team costs less hourly but takes longer and produces more errors), hidden variables (integration, testing, documentation, hosting setup missing from some quotes), and business model differences (large agency has high overhead; boutique operates more efficiently).

Fixed Price or Time-and-Materials?
Fixed price: more predictable when scope is clear. Risk sits with the firm. Scope changes require a CR process. Time-and-materials (T&M): more honest when scope is unclear. Cost control with the client. High flexibility for changes. Hybrid model (PROJX Digital's recommendation): Discover + Design phase T&M, Develop phase fixed price. This tolerates early scope uncertainty while locking in the development budget.

Items frequently omitted from quotes that appear later: copywriting and translation, photo and video production, annual hosting and SSL fees, analytics setup, email infrastructure, domain registration, and first-year maintenance fee. Include these in the contract from the start — PROJX Digital proposals list every item on separate lines.
