Quick answer
How much does custom software cost in Dubai?
Custom software with Future Host starts from AED 8,500 for a focused business tool, AED 18,500 for a client portal and AED 36,000 for a multi-module operations platform. Most projects take 3 to 14 weeks, are priced as a fixed AED quote with milestones, and you own the source code.
Why custom software
Off-the-shelf software keeps charging you and still needs workarounds
Most growing businesses in Dubai start with standard SaaS tools. Within a year or two the limits show: the monthly bill grows with every new user, data sits in four tools that do not talk to each other, and the team copies figures into spreadsheets to fill the gaps.
Custom software is built around your process instead. A client portal, an operations system or a multi-branch stock and dispatch tool that does exactly what your business needs, without features nobody uses.
The result: less manual admin, faster service for your customers, one source of truth for managers, and a software asset your company owns.
What we build
Custom software development services
From the first workflow map and clickable prototype to launch, hosting and support.
Client portals and dashboards
Self-service portals for clients, suppliers and partners with roles, statements, documents and live reports.
Custom ERP and operations
Inventory across locations, purchasing, job tickets and VAT-ready invoicing in one system.
APIs and integrations
Connect your systems to payment gateways, WhatsApp Business, CRM, accounting software and logistics partners.
SaaS and cloud platforms
Multi-tenant products on AWS or Azure with automatic backups, scaling and monitoring.
Legacy modernisation
Move old systems and spreadsheets into a modern cloud application without losing data.
Security and data
Security and UAE data protection built in from day one
Your software holds client records, prices and financial data, so security is part of the design, not an extra. Every system we build has role-based access, encrypted connections, audit logs and daily backups.
We follow the UAE Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) and can host your data inside the UAE on AWS Middle East (UAE) or Microsoft Azure UAE North when your sector requires it.
At handover you receive the full source code, technical documentation and the deployment setup, with no third-party licence you have to keep paying for.
How we build
Built to stay fast as your team and data grow
The same engineering standards apply to a small internal tool and a platform used by thousands of customers:
- Roles and two-step sign-in: each user sees only what they need
- Automated testing and deployment: updates go live without downtime
- English and Arabic: right-to-left screens for GCC teams and customers
- Integrations: UAE payment gateways, WhatsApp Business API, accounting and ERP
- Backups and recovery: nightly encrypted backups stored off-site
- Documentation: code repository, API documentation and staff training

It depends on the number of screens, user roles and integrations. A focused business tool starts from AED 8,500, a client portal from AED 18,500, an operations platform from AED 36,000 and a SaaS platform from AED 65,000. You get a fixed AED quote after a free scoping call, with no per-user licence fees.
A focused business tool usually takes 3 to 6 weeks. Larger platforms with several modules and integrations take 8 to 14 weeks, delivered in two-week sprints with a working test version at every milestone.
You do. The source code, database and all project files belong to your business once the final milestone is paid, with no lock-in to Future Host.
React, Next.js and Vue.js for the screens; Node.js, Python and PHP (Laravel) for the back end; PostgreSQL, MySQL and Redis for data; and Docker on AWS or Microsoft Azure for hosting. We choose the stack that suits your project.
Yes. We connect to ERPs such as SAP, Oracle and Odoo, CRM platforms, UAE payment gateways like Telr, Stripe and Network International, the WhatsApp Business API and accounting software such as QuickBooks, Zoho and Xero.
Yes. Every project includes post-launch support and bug fixes. Monthly support plans add server monitoring, security updates, backups and new features.
SaaS charges more as your team grows, limits how far you can change the workflow and keeps your data on shared servers. Custom software fits your process, has no per-user fees and can be hosted in the UAE.
