Price of desktop applications - Zephyra Studio
Quick answer
The price of a desktop application depends on the number of workstations, hardware integrations (printers, card readers), and the number of locations to connect. The exact amount comes through the calculator or a conversation.
What drives the price
- The number of workstations the application needs to run on affects how much testing is needed across different configurations.
- The number and type of hardware integrations (printer, card reader, scanner) adds work testing against the actual equipment you use.
- Whether sync with a central server or multiple locations at once is needed requires extra infrastructure for connecting data.
- Windows, macOS or both operating systems changes the scope of development, since each system has its own rules and constraints.

- Analysis of whether a desktop application is genuinely needed or a web app would be enough, including a candid conversation about hardware constraints
- Hardware integration: fiscal printers, card readers, barcode scanners, tested against the actual equipment you use
- Offline operation where that is a requirement, syncing as soon as the connection returns
- A local database or sync with a central server for multiple locations
- Installation and staff training on how to use it, paced to your team, not a generic manual
- Updates and technical support after launch, including emergency response if a till stops working mid-shift
What is not included / additional costs

- Third-party hardware maker licences (e.g. paid drivers) are not included in our price.

Every project differs in scope, so a public price list would either mislead (too low or too high for your case) or have to be so generic it wouldn't be useful. The calculator instead takes your actual needs into account and sends an exact price by e-mail.
