View reviewWorking with Sanico has been a breath of fresh air. From the very beginning, Dom took the time to truly listen and quickly grasped what we needed. He followed up promptly with a clear initial plan of action. His thoughtful and measured approach gave us confidence, as he helped us understand our options and guided us toward the most effective path forward.
View reviewI have been working with Sanico now for around 12 months. Dom, Sav and the Sanico Team completely rebuilt our e-commerce website, taking it from a bland template, to a fully customised platform. We are stoked to be providing our customers with a better interface and experience, and have seen a significant increase in website traffic.
View reviewWe are a European startup specializing in cybersecurity, and we had the pleasure of collaborating with Sav from Sanico Software to optimize the design and implementation of our website. Our goal was to achieve a balance of simplicity and elegance, and Sav exceeded our expectations in every way.
View reviewGot in touch with Dom at Sanico to help sort out some legacy technical issues I had with old websites hosted on Azure. Dom was clear in scoping out the project and keeping me involved along the way because I am one of those clients that likes the detail even if I don't fully understand it :). I'm very grateful for all their help and will use them again for future projects.

View reviewI required a software customization to my Shopify store for the Shopify Subscriptions app so I reached out to Dom from Sanico Software as I found him online. He was prompt, fast, and solved the problem immediately. He customized the app to my exact specifications without problems and kept me up to date throughout the entire process.
View reviewDom and Sav from Sanico Software were awesome to work with. They improved my website design with a focus on SEO. I am already receiving more enquiries in such a short amount of time since the new website launched. I highly recommend them!
View reviewCannot recommend Sav and the Sanico team enough. Super knowledgeable, professional and efficient. We engaged Sav to complete software integration - a task simply too much for me to handle having just taken on a new business. Thank you for going above and beyond with your service. We will definitely continue to use Sanico in the future.
View reviewDom listened, took into account our requirements, but then also advised as needed. Great experience, and great end product.

FAQs
We receive 100s of questions every year, so we took the most common and answered them below.
How long does it take to build a custom software?
Building a custom software application on average takes between 6-12 months of development. This of course depends on the complexity of the application and its size. The development time includes initial consultations, architectural designs, and completion of the major development milestones.
What is the process to build a custom software?
First, we start with an initial consultation to understand what a business wants to build. Second, we move onto architectural designs of the system which we split into milestone deliverables. Lastly, on approval of the architecture, we move on to building an application through milestones.
How much does custom software cost to develop?
We do not give blanket quotes for custom apps because they require initial consultation and architecture to understand what a business wants to build. We’ve built apps in the range of $100,000s to $10,000s. For those who want a better understanding, a full custom app requires at least $30,000 AUD (approx $21,500 USD) + taxes (taxes depend on your country). We do also offer smaller applications for use cases such as Software Integrations. Either way, reach out to us to book an appointment, we offer an initial free consultation.
Do you outsource the application development to cheap unqualified labour?
No, we are a team of 100% qualified software engineers and we build the software in-house. We offer a premium quality and service, hence why people seek out our services from all over the world. If you are curious you can check out our core team of software developers here.
Do you use AI to build the software?
Yes. We use AI for research and general software development. However, code generated by a software developer in our team is reviewed thoroughly, as we’ve done so with hand written code since we started the company. Since our inception as a company we’ve always adopted technology that ensures we build software to the highest standard. For us, AI is no different and is just another tool in the toolbox.
Can't you just 'vibe-code' a software app for me?
Vibe coding is an excellent tool to generate example and demo applications. However, for applications that require long-term support, maintainability, and deal with business critical services they require qualified software programmers to build them.
I have generated an app with AI for my business, can you finish it off for me?
Unfortunately we cannot continue the development of an AI generated app. AI generated apps serve as great demos and prototypes but do not possess the correct foundation or engineering rigour required to build a sustainable, useable, and maintainable software application for a business. We build apps from the base foundations to a final product, built with a qualified software professional.
