FAQ

Billing system costs

Billing and pricing logic

What does a custom billing system cost?

Simple invoice flows often start around EUR 18,000 excl. VAT. Tiered or usage-based tariffs increase testing and integration effort.

Why does invoice volume affect cost?

High volumes need fast batch processing, restartability, archiving and monitoring that prevent duplicate invoices.

Which pricing models can the software cover?

Possible models include fixed prices, tiers, packages, usage-based tariffs, discounts and time-based changes.

Typical pricing models (overview)

Comparison: typical pricing models for software and IT projects
ModelWhen it fitsBudget & flexibilityTypical risks
Fixed price (fixed scope)Clearly defined scope, stable requirements, repeatable delivery.Predictable total cost; little room for change without a change order.Scope creep leads to change orders or quality trade-offs.
Time & MaterialDiscovery, legacy, evolving requirements, or close collaboration.Maximum flexibility; budget transparent via hourly or daily rates.Without prioritisation, effort can grow—backlog and reviews matter.
Retainer / maintenance packageOngoing operations, updates, small features, and support.Agreed capacity per month; predictable follow-on cost.Large changes may still need a separate estimate.
Hybrid (milestone + T&M)MVP or phased releases with clear go-lives, then iterate.Core delivery fixed price; extensions on a time-and-materials basis.Define contractually what is in scope vs. extra work.

Calculators on this page provide indicative ranges; we choose the right model with you based on risk, scope, and planning horizon.
