The short answer? It depends. But let’s break it down.
1. Type of Software Matters
Mobile App (iOS/Android): 200,000 – 1,000,000+ SEK
Web Application: 250,000 – 1,200,000+ SEK
Enterprise System or SaaS: 500,000 – 3,000,000+ SEK
The complexity of your product and its features heavily influence the final cost.
2. Key Factors That Affect Cost
Scope & Features: The more features, the higher the cost.
Design & UX/UI: A high-quality user experience is critical but requires more design time.
Tech Stack: Modern frameworks (React, Node.js, AI integrations) may increase costs but ensure scalability.
Integrations: Payment systems, IoT devices, or AI features add complexity.
Team Setup: Developers, designers, strategists, QA, and product owners all contribute to quality.
3. Development in Sweden vs. Outsourcing Abroad
Sweden is known for its world-class developers and thriving ecosystems in Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Linköping. Costs are higher than in offshore markets, but so is the quality, communication, and cultural fit. Outsourcing abroad may cut costs by 30%, but many companies return to Sweden for reliability and expertise.
4. Why Startups Need to Budget Smart
42% of startups fail because they build products without market need. That’s why an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is the smartest first step. In Sweden, a solid MVP typically costs 200,000 – 600,000 SEK, depending on complexity.
