How much does a custom app cost in Québec?
The honest answer: it depends. But here are the factors that drive the price, and how to budget without surprises.
Why there’s no fixed price
A custom app is like a house: the price depends on size, materials and finishes. A simple internal tool and a complex SaaS platform have nothing in common. The right question isn’t “how much does it cost,” but “what are we building, and why.”
What drives the price
The number and complexity of features, integrations with your existing systems, the level of design, security requirements and the platform (web, mobile, or both) are the main levers. An app with payments, user accounts and a dashboard will always cost more than a brochure site.
How to budget smartly
We always recommend starting with scoping: a few workshops to define scope, prioritize and estimate. You get a realistic range and a staged plan, rather than a number out of thin air. A well-scoped MVP often lets you ship value first, then invest based on results.
The best budget is the one that funds what matters, in the order that matters.
At Progix, we’d rather be honest early: if your budget and ambitions don’t line up, we’ll tell you — and find the shortest path to a useful product.
