Common Questions
How much does custom software cost?
Each work unit is a fixed $10,000. The discovery call is free, and the price includes a working draft and four rounds of changes. Larger projects are built as a series of $10k work units, each with its own contract. Changes beyond the four rounds are $2,000 per day.
Do I pay before I see working software?
No. You test a working draft before you commit. The $10,000 is due only if you move forward.
How fast will I see working software?
Your working draft arrives in 1–2 weeks. Complex builds may take longer.
What is a work unit?
A work unit is a fixed-price, $10,000 piece of a project that ships working software you can use right away. Each work unit is its own contract, so bigger projects grow one work unit at a time with no large commitment up front.
Who owns the code?
You do. We hand over the full codebase after final payment. You own your hosting account, and we can work directly in your GitHub repositories. No lock-in, no hostage code.
What does support cost after the build?
Maintenance is $250/month, month-to-month, and covers backups and disaster recovery, security updates, and uptime monitoring. Maintenance + Dev is $2,000/month on an annual contract and includes one development day each month. Additional days are $2,000 each.
What kind of software do you build?
Workflow automation, integrations between the tools you already use, inventory management, COGS tracking, and real-time dashboards. Typically software that replaces spreadsheets and manual work, sized to your business.
Do you only work with businesses in Nashville?
No. Low Code Road is based in Nashville, Tennessee, and works with businesses and nonprofits across the United States.
