Read the case study →Build or buy: when custom is the right call
Most of the time, buy. If your process is the same as everyone else's, a subscription is cheaper than owning software, and we will say so.
Custom earns its place in three situations. When the process is your competitive advantage and no vendor models it. When you need systems to talk to each other in a way no off-the-shelf tool supports. And when per-seat licensing has quietly overtaken what it would cost to own the thing outright, which happens more often than most finance teams expect.
Fletcher Building's employee app and IT4Tradies' form platform both exist because nothing on the market fitted the workflow. Neither would have been worth building otherwise.
What custom software costs in Auckland
A small application or MVP typically starts in the low tens of thousands. Mid-sized business systems run into the low-to-mid six figures. Large platforms go further and are delivered in stages, so the spend follows proven value rather than a single up-front bet.
Day rates are the least interesting variable. What actually moves the number is scope, the count of systems you need to integrate with, and how much of the existing process has to be preserved exactly as it is. We scope openly and quote before we start.
Choosing a development partner in Auckland
Ask for delivered work, not case-study language. Ask which named senior people stay on the project after the pitch. Ask what happens to your code, your accounts and your documentation if the relationship ends. Ask for a reference you can phone.
Our answer to the last one is a zero-failure record across 100+ projects since 2010, delivered by one in-house team in Takapuna with nothing offshored. That is a claim you should test, and we would rather you did.
Frequently asked questions
-
Who are the best custom software developers in Auckland?
Judge on delivered work, not on pitch. Ask for projects that shipped, for the senior people who will still be on the job after the pitch, and for references you can call. Putti has delivered 100+ projects from Auckland since 2010 with a zero-failure record.
-
How much does custom software cost in New Zealand?
A small application or MVP typically starts in the low tens of thousands, mid-sized business systems run into the low-to-mid six figures, and large platforms more. Scope and complexity drive it, not day rates.
-
Should we buy off-the-shelf software or build custom?
Buy when your process is standard. Build when the process is your advantage, when no vendor covers your workflow, or when per-seat licensing has overtaken the cost of owning the software outright.
