Custom software for the price a website used to cost

A decade ago, a quality business website cost $5,000–$15,000. Today, that same investment gets you custom software that actually runs your business — not just a brochure sitting online.

Book a Discovery Session

BusinessFlow pricing starts from $5,000 for small businesses (1–10 users), from $15,000 for medium businesses (11–49 users), and custom pricing for enterprise (50+ users). You don't pay it all upfront — we build the highest-value part first, so you see a return before investing further. The tiers are based on the number of people using the system. Final cost depends on scope, which we map in a free discovery session.

Ongoing costs

What you pay after it's built

Once your system is live, the ongoing cost is simple and predictable.

Cloud hosting

Your system runs on reliable cloud hosting, with Australian-hosted options for data sovereignty — your data can stay in Australia.

Monthly maintenance

A predictable monthly fee covers security, monthly software updates, and support — keeping your system current and reliable.

No per-user fees

Unlike SaaS, you don't pay per seat. Add as many users as you like — your monthly cost is for hosting and maintenance, not headcount.

Monthly costs vary with your hosting requirements — we'll set them out clearly before you commit.

The difference

SaaS subscriptions vs BusinessFlow

SaaS subscriptions

  • Pay per user, per tool, every month
  • Cost grows every time you hire
  • Multiple overlapping subscriptions
  • Data often hosted overseas
  • You adapt to the software

BusinessFlow

  • Build once, then a flat monthly
  • No per-user fees — add users freely
  • One connected system
  • Australian-hosted options for data sovereignty
  • The software adapts to you
No surprises
