Custom software replaces that with one system built around your actual workflow, your fields and your rules. A custom web application starts at $12,000 and includes design, the database, the APIs it needs, testing and deployment. A common build is an inventory management system: barcode and QR scanning, label printing, dashboards and user roles, from $12,000 with modules at $2,000 each and maintenance at $500 a month. Mobile apps for iOS and Android start at $5,000, built in React Native with push notifications and app store submission handled. [Hosting](https://awcwebdesign.com/hosting/) for web and mobile apps is a separate monthly plan quoted with the build. Projects over $6,000 start with a $500 retainer, then payments of 25%, 25% and 50% as the work ships. Smaller automation, like an [AI receptionist](https://awcwebdesign.com/ai-automation/) or a CRM, starts at $2,000.
