How much does custom software or an MVP cost in Colombia (2026)

If you are asking how much custom software costs in Colombia — or an MVP — the honest answer is: it depends on scope. You can still work with indicative COP ranges before you sign.

At Conecta Solutions Soft we publish reference pricing so SMBs are not negotiating blind. This article covers what each stage includes, what inflates budget, and when to stop.

Indicative COP ranges (v1)

These are indicative, not a formal quote. The fine range comes from the assessment.

Stage	Indicative range (COP)	Purpose
Express assessment	Free (15–20 min)	Is there a real opportunity?
Discovery	From $1,200,000	Scope, architecture, roadmap; creditable toward Build
Typical MVP Build	$8M – $25M	First usable product to validate with users
Custom / operational system	Similar or higher than MVP by modules	When the process already hurts and is clear
Conecta Care	From $990,000 / month	Incidents, security, and evolution

What moves price (more than “dev hours”)

1. Number of critical flows — an orders board is not the same as orders + inventory + roles + reports + mobile.
2. Integrations — PSE, Nequi, WhatsApp Cloud API, ERPs, or gateways add design, testing, and reconciliation.
3. Data and migration — messy spreadsheets or legacy systems increase Discovery and stabilization.
4. Compliance — DIAN e-invoicing, permissions, and audit raise the bar.
5. UX polish — an ugly but measurable MVP can be right; a marketing-ready product costs more.

MVP vs custom software: different budgets

• MVP: validate an idea with the smallest scope that creates learning.
• Custom software: digitize an operation that already exists and hurts.

Confusing them means either an eternal MVP or a large system without validation. That is why the assessment chooses the path — see also Colombia coverage.
