Daniella Gergis's Review Sourced from Google
What a wonderful experience I received from Alex and the team to design my website. The communication has been a great experience, and I can't thank Alex and his team enough for always ensuring that his clients get the best outcome. I'm beyond grateful for designing a website that I had in mind and making come to what I had expected. The honesty I received from Alex has made me feel reassured and comfortable, I highly recommend his services and his team!
Daniel Reid's Review Sourced from Google
Honestly could not speak higher of Alex and his team at Shtudio. We have been working with them for 3 years, building a very complex and custom operational system for our rental business. The complexity of the project could not be understated but Alex and his team have always been able to engineer, develop and implement a solution that works in an incredibly fast, cost-effective and professional manner. We have also built numerous custom features for our website with speedy delivery and a very high quality of workI don't often leave reviews but I truly cannot recommend Alex and Shtudio, high enough!

To further highlight the benefits Australia software development firms can deliver, our researchers have highlighted the following case study:
Custom software development companies in Australia offer a broad range of services to help businesses streamline operations and amplify product value. Here are some of the most common offerings they provide:
While these standard services are prevalent, Australia’s diverse business market drives demand for other specialized solutions, such as AI development, blockchain solutions, and AR/VR applications.
While there is no exact data on the number of software development companies in Australia, the overall tech workforce has reached 935,000 employees in 2023, emphasizing the vastness of the industry. Our DesignRush listing features over 7,600 custom development firms, 280+ of which are based or have offices in Australia.
Here’s a breakdown of our featured agencies by company size:
| Agency size | Number of agencies |

| Mid-sized (50-249 employees) | 102 |
| Large (250+ employees) | 38 |
| Enterprise (1000+ employees) | 13 |
The dominance of smaller agencies can be attributed to the lower overhead costs and increased flexibility these firms offer. Mid-sized agencies, while fewer, handle larger projects that require more resources and coordination, making them an optimal choice between the smaller firms with limited capacities and larger agencies with higher service rates.
Australia software development firms charge between AUD 40,000 and 450,000+, depending on the project’s complexity, size, list of features, developer expertise, and timeline.
