Software Development Review from Kelly Lavelle
We hired Competenza to build a custom software tool to help manage our online bookings and product sales in one place. They designed and developed a booking system for our spa that also connected with our product store. It included custom dashboards, easy scheduling, and reports we could actually use. We saw fewer booking errors, faster checkouts, and more online sales. The system saved our staff time every day and made things easier for our customers too. They really listened to our needs and built something that felt like it was made just for us, not a one-size-fits-all. Everything was done on time and the process was smooth. Communication was clear, and they were quick to make changes when we asked.
Software Development Review from Bahaa Wahid
Competenza Innovare upgraded our platform with better video, new connection options, group ordering, and a catering tracker. They worked in clear sprints, tested across devices, and delivered on time and in budget. The backend and admin site they built make managing content easy. Communication was consistent, and they were quick to fix issues. Very organized team.
Software Development Review from Brett Danielson
They built a custom search tool for us. The system works well and saves us a lot of time. They keep up with our fast pace and still hit deadlines. Sometimes they even add features we didn’t request because they know it will help. Now we can look up customer info, shipments, and vendor details in seconds. We meet every week to go over what we need next. They fix bugs, but they also make the system easier to use without us asking. Our business changes fast, but they stay patient and flexible. They really listen and adapt. Everyone on their team wants to help us succeed.

Mobile App Development Review from Dubie Bacino
iQlance was a great team to work with. They were able to meet our timeline. They are great at technology, they know what they are doing. It has been a great experience overall. I highly recommend iQlance to the people looking for overseas company. They can handle things professionally, meet the deadlines and understand requirements. I actually got a chance to visit iQlance team in person; their knowledge of technology and their personalities were great. Thank you iQlance for the hardwork, we look forward to work with you on our next project.
Project Management Review from Darcy McQuaid
The work IQ Lance has done for us has been absolutely phenomenal, meeting all deadlines with exceptional quality. Over the past year and a half, the collaboration with Crunal and IQ Lance has been outstanding. They were brought on board as our technical partner to handle the development side of our projects. Throughout this period, they have met all their deadlines, and the staff has been extremely friendly. The quality of the final product has been exactly as we envisioned and desired. Crunal, specifically as our project manager, has gone above and beyond. He has been incredible, acting as a translator between our business objectives and the technical team at IQ Lance. His efforts have been crucial in ensuring that our goals are clearly communicated and effectively implemented. What I appreciate the most about IQ Lance is their ability to meet deadlines and deliver high-quality work. The staff's friendliness and Crunal's exceptional project management skills have been invaluable to our success.
Mobile App Development Review from Norman Knauer
Working with iQlance was a great experience, from designing the solution through the development stages and rolling it out, iQlance delivered a top-of-class experience and product.

Thanks to Elegant Media for producing our app, it was well worth the wait, special thanks to Kavi for managing the project, she was very patient with us and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the duration of the project.
Fabian Lopez's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve been working with Elegant Media as part of the early stages of my app project, and so far the experience has been great. From the start, communication was clear and professional, and the support I received, particularly from Aron, our project consultant was exceptional.Aron’s approach gave me a strong sense of trust in the company. His dedication, calm manner, and thoughtful engagement helped me feel confident in the direction of the project and in Elegant Media’s ability to deliver.Highly recommended to anyone looking for a development team that values clarity, collaboration, and quality.
Chris's Review Sourced from Google
We've used Elegant Media for the management of our app for quite a number of years, and the support has been great. Although our app is low maintenance and doesn't require a lot of support from Elegant Media, the times when we needed assistance, the team were very helpful.

Shaun, Dave and the team at Launchlab took my startup from idea to product launch. To say i am a massive promoter of these guys is an understatement. The level of diligence, responsiveness, thoroughness and capability far exceeded any expectations i had for a software development project. The team, led by Shaun, made this experience very simple for me. They were flexible and were always conscious to make sure the key decisions along the way, aligned with my vision. These guys should be every Australian entrepreneurs software developer of choice!
Emmy Arthurson's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Shaun and Dave from Launch Lab on OX Rooms has been a fantastic experience! Choosing them to develop our platform and website was one of our best early decisions. After meeting with several development teams, it was clear that Launch Lab not only understood our vision but could also deliver a top-quality product.Launch Lab consistently delivers high-quality work and is responsive to any issues that arise. They communicate directly and don’t waste time, keeping the scope on track while remaining flexible with adjustments and always bringing solutions—not problems—when challenges come up.Shaun and Dave have been invaluable partners, making it enjoyable and rewarding to work together on OX Rooms. I look forward to our ongoing collaboration and reaching new heights together!I highly recommend Launch Lab to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable development team!
Russ Watts's Review Sourced from Google
I've just completed a project with Launch Lab and it's the second time I've worked with them on launching a website (for two different companies, APositive and Waddle). I can't praise them highly enough. When I got the opportunity to build a new website, my first thought was 'speak to Shaun'. They know exactly what they are doing, I trust their recommendations completely and their work is of the highest quality. From beginning to end everything has gone smoothy and professionally. Highly recommend!

I have worked with the Intuji team (formerly WEBO) on several integrations since 2022 and have found them a pleasure to deal with. Dilshad and his team of experts and good at what they do, and I continue to place my trust in their technical expertise and support.

Julian and his team developed a website from nothing and the outcome was above and beyond our expectations. The team at WEBO Designs has continued to offer assistance and support throughout our initial and ongoing marketing campaigns. WEBO Designs not only have a great understanding of web development and marketing, but also assisted us with hosting services for emails and a number of other IT elements. We enjoyed our experience working with WEBO and look forward to working with them in the future.

We worked with Vivo to develop two websites for our business, and we couldn't be happier with the results. The team was professional, responsive, and really took the time to understand our requirements and specific needs. Both sites were delivered on time, with great design and functionality.Vivo also provides ongoing monthly support, which has been seamless and reliable. Any updates or issues are handled quickly and efficiently. Highly recommend Vivo if you're looking for a quality web development partner you can trust.

Top custom software development companies in Australia can help businesses create tailored web and mobile applications to automate operations, improve efficiency, and stand out in their target markets.
More specifically, these companies can deliver:
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 |
| Small (Under 49 employees) | 133 |
| 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.
Some companies charge depending on the software development lifecycle (SDLC) phase, specifically:
| Development phase | Cost |
| Planning (Concept and feasibility analysis) | AUD 5,000-20,000 |
| Design (UI/UX design) | AUD 10,000-50,000 |
| Development (Frontend and backend) | AUD 50,000-300,000 |
| Testing | AUD 5,000- 30,000 |
| Deployment and maintenance | AUD 10,000-100,000 (annually) |
On DesignRush, the top custom software development companies in Australia charge an average rate of $44 per hour. 6.3% of the companies accept projects under $1,000, offering cost-effective solutions for startups and small businesses with limited budgets. On the other hand, 4.2% of the agencies require a $50,000+ minimum budget, focusing on large-scale projects that require advanced technologies and extensive customizations.
