A transparent breakdown of software development costs in the UAE market, covering web applications, mobile apps, SaaS platforms, and ongoing maintenance.
Note: Prices are indicative ranges based on the UAE market. Actual costs depend on your specific requirements, timeline, and complexity. Contact us for a detailed, no-obligation estimate.
Custom web applications in the UAE typically range from AED 50,000 to AED 500,000+, depending on complexity. A simple customer portal starts around AED 50,000–80,000. A mid-complexity business application with user roles, dashboards, and integrations runs AED 150,000–300,000. Enterprise-grade SaaS platforms with multi-tenancy, billing, and advanced analytics start at AED 300,000+.
Cross-platform mobile apps (React Native) range from AED 80,000 to AED 400,000. A basic app with 5–10 screens starts around AED 80,000–120,000. Apps with real-time features, offline mode, and complex integrations run AED 200,000–400,000. Native development (separate iOS and Android) typically costs 50–70% more than cross-platform.
Professional UI/UX design ranges from AED 20,000 to AED 80,000 depending on project scope. This includes user research, wireframing, prototyping, visual design, and design system creation. For Arabic/English bilingual projects, add 20–30% for RTL design considerations.
Annual maintenance typically costs 15–20% of the initial development budget. This covers bug fixes, security patches, minor feature updates, and hosting management. Managed support agreements with SLAs start at AED 5,000/month for standard coverage.
Costs vary based on feature complexity, number of integrations, performance requirements, security needs, and whether the project includes design, testing, and deployment. A clear scope and detailed requirements help us provide accurate estimates.
We offer both. Fixed-price works best for well-defined projects. Time-and-materials (hourly) works better for evolving requirements or ongoing development. We recommend fixed-price for initial builds and T&M for iterative phases.
