What Is Software Maintenance, and Why Does It Cost Monthly?

When people see our pricing — web applications from ₹25,000 and maintenance from ₹1,000/month — many read it as two packages to choose between. It isn't. It's one plan with two parts: you pay once to build your application, and then a small monthly fee keeps it running.

What maintenance means

Your application is built once, but it has to run every day. Maintenance is the monthly service that keeps it online, secure and supported after launch. It is part of the same plan, not a separate package.

What the monthly fee covers

• Dedicated server: your application runs on its own server, not shared with other businesses.
• Daily backups: your data is backed up automatically every day.
• Instant support: report an issue and we respond quickly.
• Updates and security: we apply updates and security patches to keep it stable and protected.
• Minor changes: small edits to text, colours or layout are included.

Why it can't be a one-time payment

The build is work done once. A server, backups and someone watching over the system are ongoing, and they continue every month the application is in use. Software that's built and then left alone slowly becomes slower and less secure, because the tools it depends on keep getting updates that nobody applies.

So what does it actually cost?

Web applications start from ₹25,000 as a one-time build, with the admin panel included, and maintenance is from ₹1,000/month after launch. Ecommerce, ERP/CRM and mobile apps get a custom quote.
