How Much Does Custom Software Cost in Guyana? (2026)

The short answer: custom software from Computing Core starts from US$500 (GYD 112,500). Tick the features you need in the calculator below to see a live price range in US dollars and Guyana dollars. Your exact price comes in a written quote after a free scoping call on (592) 600-1096.

What a Typical Build Costs

These examples come straight from the calculator, with the standard design, delivery and data options:

• Small tool (user login, email notifications, reports and charts): US$1,430 to US$1,660 (GYD 321,750 to GYD 373,500) to build.
• Staff or client portal (user login, user roles, admin dashboard, email notifications, file uploads, reports and charts): US$3,850 to US$4,690 (GYD 866,250 to GYD 1,055,250) to build.

Hosting and your domain are billed yearly on top of the build. With small app shared hosting and a domain, the small tool comes to US$2,147 to US$2,377 (GYD 483,000 to GYD 534,750) in year one. The portal runs on a Business server, so its year one total is US$5,119 to US$5,959 (GYD 1,151,700 to GYD 1,340,700).

Why the Price Is a Range

Every feature you tick has a set price. The calculator shows a range because no two businesses run the same way, and the scoping call is where we pin down the details. Three project options also change the price of the features you tick: a fully custom design adds 20%, rush delivery adds 25%, and sensitive or high-volume data adds 15%.

If you are running part of your business on spreadsheets, WhatsApp messages and repeated data entry, each feature below is a piece of that work your software can automate.

What Drives the Cost

Each item below matches a tick box in the calculator. Prices are one-time build prices, added to the US$500 base.

Users and logins

User login and accounts cost US$260 (GYD 58,500), covering sign up, log in and password reset. If staff need different access, such as owner, manager and cashier, user roles and permissions add US$590 (GYD 132,750).

Admin dashboard

An admin dashboard gives you one place to manage records, users, orders and settings, instead of chasing staff or opening several files. It adds US$1,480 (GYD 333,000).

Payments (MMG and bank)

Taking payments inside your app by MMG or bank adds US$1,050 (GYD 236,250). Payment provider fees are separate, and we confirm exactly how payments flow on the scoping call.

POS and inventory sync

If you already use Computing Core POS, your custom software can keep stock and sales in step with it automatically, so nobody re-types the day's sales. This adds US$1,250 (GYD 281,250).

Accounting sync

Sending sales, expenses and invoices to your accounts automatically adds US$1,250 (GYD 281,250). Our Enterprise POS plan comes with a full accounting package included, so we check what you already have before we quote.

Reports

Reports and charts turn your records into answers: sales, stock and activity, with export to Excel or PDF. They add US$490 (GYD 110,250).

Notifications

Automatic messages keep customers and staff informed without anyone having to call. Email notifications add US$180 (GYD 40,500), SMS adds US$260 (GYD 58,500) and WhatsApp adds US$490 (GYD 110,250). SMS and WhatsApp provider fees are separate.

Multi-location

If you run more than one branch, each location gets its own data and reports, with the full picture in one place. This adds US$1,500 (GYD 337,500).

Integrations

An integration means your software talks directly to another system, so the same data is never typed twice. Each system connected adds US$1,600 to US$2,000 (GYD 360,000 to GYD 450,000) per connection, depending on complexity. See our API integration page for how this works.

Data migration

If your records live in spreadsheets, data migration builds an import wizard into your app: you upload your Excel or CSV files, match the columns, preview and check for errors, then import, so you start with your history, not a blank screen, and can load more records yourself later. The import wizard is a flat US$1,600 (GYD 360,000).

Hosting

Hosting is billed yearly, separate from the build. Small app shared hosting is GYD 150,000 (about US$667) a year, and a Business server is GYD 274,200 (about US$1,219) a year. The next section has the details.

Training

Every build includes 1 hour of remote training. Hands-on, on-site staff training at your business (half day) adds US$160 (GYD 36,000).

Two more tick boxes: file uploads and documents add US$350 (GYD 78,750), and installing the app on a phone home screen adds US$260 (GYD 58,500). It opens like an app and runs in the web browser.

Hosting and Yearly Costs

Hosting, your domain and any hosting add-ons are billed to you yearly, separate from the one-time build price. The calculator suggests a plan based on the features you tick, and you can change it.

• Small app shared hosting, GYD 150,000 (about US$667) a year: a shared server with up to 50 GB storage, a MySQL database, PHP 8, free SSL, daily backups by the host and scheduled tasks. Best for low traffic and a few staff users.
• Business server, GYD 274,200 (about US$1,219) a year: your own cloud server with dedicated resources. It is needed for payments, POS or accounting sync, branches and connected systems, handles more users, data and background jobs, and unlocks all hosting add-ons.
• Domain renewal, US$50 (GYD 11,250) a year. Skip it if you already own your domain.

What You Get When We Build It

• Built in Laravel/PHP, the same framework that runs computingcore.net and our OnlinePOS. Learn more on our Laravel development page.
• Runs in a web browser, so your team opens it on the device they already use, with nothing to install.
• A backup before every production change, so your data is protected when we update the system.
• Local support from Guyana. Computing Core was founded in 2014 by Carlos De Cunha and is based at Happy Acres, East Coast Demerara.

Custom or Off-the-Shelf?

Sometimes you do not need custom software at all. If a ready-made system such as our POS already covers the job, that is usually faster and cheaper. Our guide to custom vs off-the-shelf software helps you decide. On the free scoping call we will tell you plainly which route fits.
