06 FAQ
Questions about price.
How much does an app development company charge in India?
Tailwebs charges ₹1.5–3 lakh for a discovery sprint, ₹8–25 lakh for the MVP Launch package, ₹1.8–4 lakh a month for a dedicated developer and ₹2,000–4,000 an hour for small jobs.
Why do you show ranges, not fixed prices?
Because scope decides the final figure: the low end of each range is a tight scope, and the high end adds roles, integrations or compliance.
How do I get an exact quote?
Book a call. After it, or after a discovery sprint for larger builds, you get scope, price and timeline in writing.
What does an app cost to keep running after launch?
Plan for maintenance at 15–20% of the build cost a year plus hosting of ₹2,000–40,000 a month, or use the Care and Growth plan at ₹50,000–2 lakh a month.
Do prices include GST?
No. Indian invoices are in INR plus GST; international clients are invoiced in USD or GBP.
Is software development pricing in India fixed-price or monthly?
Both: at Tailwebs, projects are fixed-price against a written scope, dedicated developers and squads are billed monthly, and small jobs are billed hourly at ₹2,000–4,000.
