What does an app cost in Ireland?

With us, a simple piece of work starts from around €150 — that's a small tool, a fix, or a setup job. A full app or a proper business system runs into the thousands, depending on how much it needs to do. Most projects for small Irish businesses land somewhere in between.

Anyone who quotes you a price before understanding what you need is guessing. That's why we always start with a free chat, then give you a fixed price in writing before any work begins — no surprises later.

• From ~€150 — small jobs and setups. Connecting tools you already use, automating a repetitive task, tidying up a spreadsheet-based process, or getting an existing system set up properly.
• From €495 + VAT — a simple app, up and running. One clear job done well: a booking system, a quote calculator, a simple customer list, a stock tracker for a small shop.
• Thousands — a full app or business system. A customer-facing app on the App Store and Google Play, or a complete internal system like a CRM, payroll or warehouse tool built around how your business actually works.

• How many different screens and jobs it needs to handle
• Whether it connects to things you already use (email, accounts, card payments)
• Moving your existing customer lists and records into it
• Phone app, website, or both
• Special requirements like hardware, sensors or barcode scanners

The good news: you don't need everything on day one. We usually build the most useful part first, so you start saving time (or making money) before the rest is finished.

Renting software looks cheap — until you add it up. A few subscriptions at €30–€80 per person per month quietly become thousands a year, forever. Software you own has a build cost and a small running cost, and then it's simply yours. Read more on our own-it-vs-rent-it page.
