* The estimates provided are not ScienceSoft's official prices for software development projects. We calculate the cost of each project individually based on the client's specific situation and needs.
Pricing model considerations
An IT vendor’s service pricing model directly impacts the project cost. Knowing this, unscrupulous vendors may attempt to deliberately impose an unfavorable model for larger financial gains.
At ScienceSoft, we never compromise client trust and offer flexible pricing models depending on the requested service scope and the client’s budget limitations. We avoid confining our clients to one option and can combine several pricing models to reduce development costs. Our team provides a clear rationale behind the choice of particular models to ensure charging on a fair, transparent, and predictable basis.
Check Out Our Software Development Steps
1
Planning
It takes from 2 weeks to:
- Document key business processes and how they’re covered with existing software.
- Elicit business needs and concerns.
- Evaluate risks of new software introduction, e.g., impact on business processes, and plan risk mitigation measures.
- Draw up high-level functional and technical software requirements.
- Prepare the list of software features and integrations.
- Draw up a project roadmap and major milestones.
For commercial software products, it additionally takes from 3 weeks to:
- Conduct competition analysis (competitors’ product features, pricing & monetization models, customer feedback analysis, customer acquisition strategy analysis, product efficiencies and drawbacks).
- Analyze the needs and wants of the target audience and create a product concept.
- Define product differentiation and formulate a unique selling proposition for a product to stand out from the competition.
- Describe obstacles that can hinder entering a given market or industry sectors (including regulatory barriers) and decide how to address them.
2
Business case composition
It takes from 1 week to conduct cost-benefit analysis, estimate NVP, ROI.
3
Architecture, UX and UI design
It takes from 2 weeks to 3 months to:
- Define app architecture, techs, data flow and integration points.
Note: If possible, ScienceSoft will re-use parts of your existing enterprise systems rather than develop new software modules, for lower cost and higher reliability of your software.
- Conduct UX research, outline personas and key user scenarios, prepare user journey maps.
- Create wireframes and clickable prototypes.
- Conduct visual identity analysis, prepare design concept, create a branded UI kit with ready-to-use components (icons, buttons, colors, fonts, etc.), animations, specifications and assets for developers.
Note: We recommend investing in the unique, sophisticated UI design only if the design is a competitive product advantage. Otherwise, we use simple themes and focus on software functionality.
4
MVP launch (upon request)
The delivery of the first working version of enterprise software takes from 1 month. The first working version of software product can be delivered in ~ 2 months.
5
Development and testing
- Agile delivery of new software parts in 2-week releases. Continuous safe minor releases via automated CI/CD pipelines.
- Analysis of emerging needs and the release planning.
- Approving the release scope.
- Delivering and reviewing mockups.
- Developing and testing the approved software part, migrating the developed software part to the staging and production environment.
- Getting feedback from a project sponsor and users on the results of the release.
- Reviewing the results of the completed release and approving the scope of the next release.
Note: Small, well-defined projects can be delivered in a linear mode with one major release.
6
Deployment (and 3-month maintenance)
- Conducting user acceptance testing (UAT).
- Establishing software monitoring processes.
- Defining new roles and responsibilities for application support in your and our teams.
Note: ScienceSoft recommends trial implementation for a limited number of users to minimize possible downtimes in production. Trial stages usually take up to 1-3 months.
7
Project handover / continuous support (on demand)
- Conducting project evaluation.
- Performing knowledge transfer to your in-house IT team/other vendors.

Reliable Techs & Tools We Are Proficient In
Choosing an Optimal Pace for Your Project
Scrum development
Software development is done in Sprints, 2–3-week iterations with identified granular goals and backlogs. We ensure process transparency via sprint planning meetings, daily stand-ups, sprint review (and demo), retrospective, backlog refinement (grooming).
Details
Best for: any product development project with a need to test the idea, midsize projects in custom software development where software requirements cannot be accurately defined, incremental development of large complex software (which is easy to divide into small functional parts) to start getting value fast.
Hide
Kanban development
The work is done in very short Sprints, often daily. Meetings are held daily or once in 2 days to follow the progress and prioritize next steps. We use the Kanban Board for a clear representation of all project activities, responsible persons, and progress.
Details
Best for: software support and evolution projects.
Hide
Waterfall development
Each next chunk of work is done when the previous one is finished and approved by the stakeholders. The approach demands due diligence at the investigation and planning stage to have all requirements and risks covered.
Details
Best for: small and midsize projects with clearly defined and unchanging requirements, projects requiring formal approvals (governmental projects and projects for big corporations), projects with strict compliance requirements.
Hide
For many projects it makes sense to use a combination of approaches or switch from one to another depending on the project stage. In our practice, the most common scenarios are ‘Waterfall -> Scrum’, ‘Scrum -> Kanban -> Scrum’. Since switching to a new methodology entails new tools and new processes, a pre-switch intro meeting or mini-training should be conducted by the vendor to keep project running effectively from day one.
