Kazi Start
A simple tool
A tool that does one thing well: track a till, record orders, produce a report. Few users, a single device.
It is the fastest and least expensive kind of project.
How much does it cost to build software?
The honest answer: it depends on what the software has to do. Here is what really drives the price, project type by project type.
Six questions, two minutes, no commitment.
By project type
Four families of software, four orders of magnitude
The more trades and users a piece of software covers, the more work it takes. Each family matches a level of our offer.
Kazi Business
A business application
Several modules linked together (sales, stock, cash), several users with different rights, dashboards.
The price mostly depends on the number of modules and roles.
Kazi Start to Kazi Business
A mobile application
An Android or iOS app, alone or alongside web software. Working offline is often requested in the field.
Offline mode and the number of platforms weigh on the cost.
Kazi Enterprise
An ERP or complex software
The whole company in one tool: several sites, many users, custom processes, links with other systems.
This kind of project is built in stages, module after module.
Start · Business · Enterprise
Three project levels
The estimator places each project in one of these three levels. The exact price is then set after a first conversation.
Kazi Start
A small business tool, focused on one precise need.
- One need, one module, one solution
- Quick to set up, easy to learn
- Can grow later, module by module
Typical example: a tool to track sales and expenses for a shop, used by two people, on the web.

- Several modules linked together
- Several users with different roles

Kazi Enterprise
A complex business solution: ERP, integrations, several sites.
- Custom business processes, end to end
- Integrations with your existing tools
- Gradual roll-out and team support
Comparable project: a microfinance application linking savings, credit, till and accounting, with a workspace per role.

What makes the quote vary
For the same type of project, these six items explain most of the price differences.
- The number of modules: each block of features adds to the quote.
- The number of users and of different roles.
- The devices: web only, mobile, desktop, or all three.
- Working without a connection.
- Integrations: mobile payments, Excel import, software already in place.
- How far the interface and reports are customised.
The costs people forget
Software is not paid for once and for all.
Hosting
Online software runs on a server, billed monthly or yearly. The cost depends on the number of users and the volume of data.
Maintenance
Fixes, security updates, backups, user assistance. Software without maintenance ages quickly.
Customisation
Tailoring existing software costs less than building everything. It is the first route to explore when a tool already covers most of the need.

Frequently asked questions
Why don't you display prices?
Because a price given without knowing your need would be wrong. Two projects with the same name can cost very different amounts depending on the number of modules and users. We give you a price range after a first conversation.
Can I get an estimate without a specification?
Yes. A clear description of your need is enough to place the project. The detailed specification comes next, and we can help you write it.
How can I reduce the cost of my software?
Start with a single module, the one that costs you the most time. Also check whether existing software already covers part of the need: tailoring it costs less than building everything.
Can we pay in stages?
A project split into modules is naturally funded in stages: you start with one module, then add the next ones.
Is standard software cheaper than custom software?
Yes. Compta++, for example, is offered at 7,500 FCFA per month (about €11), all modules included. Custom software makes sense when no existing tool respects the way you work.
What should I plan for after delivery?
Hosting, maintenance, backups and team training. A serious quote mentions them from the start.
