There is no one definite answer to this question, and no trustworthy healthcare software development vendor will be able to provide you with the exact budget without conducting a thorough estimation process first.   The list of cost-forming factors is lengthy, but we will point out several of the most important aspects that may and will influence the price of custom software development.   Complexity and tech stack — complex healthcare solutions require more implementation time, ergo, are more expensive. The chosen tech stack also plays a role in the pricing as fewer developers have experience working with rare or new technologies, which makes their skills more valuable and, consequently, more costly.   Location — this factor is especially important for healthcare businesses as compliance requirements differ depending on the market, and not all service providers know how to develop compliant solutions, to begin with, more so compliant solutions for a specific region.   Customization level — custom healthcare software development will always be a more expensive option compared to working with off-the-shelf solutions. At the same time, the level of software customization can vary as well, allowing a business owner to regulate the final price. The rule of thumb here is “more customization equals more money one has to spend.”   Time-to-market — any kind of time limitations or strict deadlines force the vendor to either attract more experts to the project’s implementation or ask the staff to work overtime. Either way, it will make the final product more expensive.   Required services — any additional services a business owner might require typically cost extra. Examples of said services are long-term maintenance, bug-fixing and tweaks upon the completion of the guarantee period, new functionality development, regular software updates, etc.
