We provide detailed project timelines during the discovery phase and use agile methodologies to deliver working software incrementally.

How much does education software development cost?

Costs depend on the complexity, features, and integrations required. Simple applications start from £15,000, whilst enterprise school systems can range from £50,000 to £250,000+. We provide transparent fixed-price quotes after understanding your requirements, with no hidden costs.

Will my education software be GDPR compliant?
