Question 1

What does a custom software development agency do?

Accepted Answer

A custom software development agency designs, builds, and maintains bespoke software applications for businesses. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, custom software is built to fit your exact workflows, integrations, and scale requirements. Agencies typically handle everything from discovery and architecture to development, QA, deployment, and post-launch support.

Question 2

How much does custom software development cost for enterprises?

Accepted Answer

Enterprise custom software development typically costs $50,000–$500,000+, depending on complexity. An MVP or first phase runs $50,000–$150,000. A full enterprise application with integrations, security compliance, and multi-role access can range from $150,000–$500,000. At Baaz, we phase delivery so you get value early and can iterate based on real usage.

Question 3

What is the difference between custom software and off-the-shelf solutions?

Accepted Answer

Off-the-shelf software (like Salesforce or Shopify) provides standard features for common needs. Custom software is built specifically for your business — tailored workflows, unique integrations, and full ownership of the codebase. Custom is the right choice when existing tools can't handle your specific processes, scale, or compliance requirements.

Question 4

How long does custom software development take?

Accepted Answer

Timelines vary widely: an MVP takes 8–16 weeks, while a full enterprise platform can take 6–12 months. At Baaz, we deliver in 2-week sprints with regular demos, so you see working software every iteration. The first usable release is typically within 8–12 weeks.

Question 5

What technologies do custom software development agencies use?

Accepted Answer

Modern agencies use React, Next.js, Vue, or Angular for frontend; Node.js, Python (Django/FastAPI), or Laravel for backend; PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Redis for databases; and AWS, GCP, or Azure for cloud infrastructure. The right stack depends on your product's requirements for performance, scale, and team expertise.

Question 6

When should an enterprise build custom software instead of buying?

Accepted Answer

Build custom when: your processes are unique and can't be configured in existing tools, you need deep integrations with legacy systems, data security and compliance require full control, or the software is a competitive advantage. A study by Deloitte found that 59% of enterprises invest in custom software to differentiate from competitors.
