# Custom Software Development: web apps, mobile apps and internal tools, built by a senior engineer

Custom software development means building software around how your business actually works, instead of bending the business around an off-the-shelf tool. That covers customer-facing web and mobile apps, internal dashboards and admin tools, booking and ordering systems, APIs, and the integrations that join your existing tools together. At Axionry the engineer on your first call is the engineer who builds it: a fixed price agreed before work starts, working software at every checkpoint, and nothing payable until you accept it. Working builds start at $1,000, production systems run up to $10,000, and larger platforms are scoped on a call. AI features are available where they genuinely help, but they are never forced in.

## What kind of software can you build?

Most projects fall into four shapes. Customer-facing products: a SaaS app, a marketplace, a client portal or a mobile app. Internal tools: admin panels, approval flows, inventory, scheduling and reporting dashboards that replace spreadsheets. Integrations: connecting your CRM, payments, accounting, WhatsApp or email so data stops being copied by hand. And backends and APIs that a mobile app or a partner can rely on.

The stack is chosen for the job and for whoever maintains it next, usually Next.js and React on the front, Node or Python behind it, Postgres for data, and React Native or Flutter for mobile. Everything is deployed into cloud accounts you own.

## How does a software project with Axionry work?

A twenty-minute call to understand the problem, then a fixed proposal in writing within 48 hours: scope, timeline, deliverables and price. The build runs in checkpoints. Each one has acceptance criteria agreed before it starts, ends in working software you can click through, and is invoiced only after you accept it.

You get direct access to the engineer throughout, not a ticket queue. At handover you receive the code in your repository, documentation, a recorded walkthrough and thirty days of defect fixes.

## Is it software development or AI development?

Both, and you do not need to know which you need. Plenty of businesses simply need reliable software: a booking system, a portal, a dashboard. Others benefit from an AI layer on top, such as reading documents, answering customer questions or analysing data in plain English. The call starts from the problem, and AI is proposed only where it saves real time or money.

## FAQ

### How much does custom software development cost?

Working builds start at $1,000 and most production apps land between $3,500 and $10,000, depending on features, integrations and platforms. The price is fixed in writing before work starts, and you pay per accepted checkpoint, so nothing is payable upfront.

### Do you build mobile apps as well as web apps?

Yes. iOS and Android apps are usually built once in React Native or Flutter, sharing a backend with the web app, and published under your own developer accounts.

### Who owns the code?

You do, entirely. It ships into your repository and your cloud accounts, documented so your own team or a future hire can carry it on without us.

### Can you work with our existing software or team?

Yes. Extending or integrating an existing system is common, and so is working alongside an in-house team in your repositories and to your standards.
