The build price is only part of what software will cost your business.
Low-code can be a good fit for a straightforward workflow, especially when your existing licences cover it. Custom development can offer more control and avoid some per-user platform fees, but hosting, security and maintenance still need funding.
Before recommending either, we look at the process, expected user numbers, integrations and likely changes. Then compare the full cost over several years: delivery, licences, support and upgrades.
We also check what your current systems already do. Another subscription may mean paying twice for the same capability.
Planning for growth and data portability can reduce the risk of paying for a second build when the first platform stops fitting.
