Custom software development
Software for workflows that no off-the-shelf tool can handle.
You hold your process together with Excel, three tools and Zapier. We build the one web app that maps it instead of bending it. You know the price after 21 days, over 200 projects from Leipzig.
The proof you can look up
“The new design gave our conversion a 31% uplift.”
I always thought it would be about the code, but our users care much more about the design! It was more than worth it.

SaschaGoogle reviewTranslated from German“Top service, top results”
From day one, working together was simply fun. Together we developed the design of an app for managing concert tickets, and our ideas and wishes were not only heard but actively taken up and developed further in a meaningful way. What we especially valued was that requirements weren't simply ticked off: whenever something wouldn't have been the best solution from a UX or product perspective, it was raised openly, honestly and always constructively – along with well-thought-out alternatives. The team really engaged with our project, contributed their own ideas and worked with us to create the best user experience for our customers. The feedback rounds were always constructive, the lines of communication short, and decisions could be made quickly. In the end, we not only got a modern, well-thought-out design for our ticket app that we are very happy with, but also a collaboration shaped by trust, transparency and real partnership. Everything ran reliably on schedule, and at all times we felt we were working on a solution together – not as client and service provider. That's exactly how you imagine working with an agency. ⭐️

SophiaMarketing Manager, München Ticket GmbHTranslated from German“Professional collaboration as equals”
KNGURU developed the UI/UX design and the web app for us, and we are very happy with the result. The collaboration works excellently, both in regular online calls and in person on site. Together we discuss ideas, question processes and develop solutions that really fit the product in the end. We would especially like to highlight working with Vera and Louis. The chemistry is simply right – you can tell that they are not only strong professionally but truly understand our requirements and vision. Our own ideas are taken seriously, developed further together and implemented constructively. That creates the feeling of working on a product together rather than simply being client and service provider. Before KNGURU, we had worked with two other agencies and unfortunately did not have good experiences. That made us all the more pleasantly surprised by the transparent communication, the open collaboration and the fair pricing. You always know where you stand, there are no hidden surprises, and in our view the value for money is absolutely right. We look forward to continuing to work together and can recommend KNGURU to anyone looking for a reliable partner for modern UI/UX design and the development of high-quality applications.

SteveManaging Director, nextGYM GmbHTranslated from German“Five years of strong and reliable collaboration”
Our collaboration with Knguru started around five years ago with the smartmove app and continues today, as the product is still developed. Knguru supports us with UX and UI design for new features and updates. They also designed and developed our new landing page, while the app itself was implemented by our team. What I appreciate most is that Knguru does more than simply turn requirements into designs. The team asks the right questions, challenges ideas when needed and often suggests improvements to the original concept. Their long term knowledge of the product and our goals makes discussing new topics much easier. Communication has always been straightforward and reliable. I can share feedback openly, decisions are explained clearly, and the team reacts well when priorities or requirements change. This has made the cooperation efficient and pleasant over the years. The quality of the work has remained consistently high. The designs are modern and polished, but usability comes first. This is especially important for smartmove, where users need a simple and intuitive way to book and use shared vehicles. The same approach was applied to the new landing page, which presents the product clearly. Considering the quality, experience and product knowledge Knguru brings to the project, I believe the value for money is fair. After five years, I see them as a dependable long term partner rather than simply an external design agency.

MichaelCTO, smartmove“First-class collaboration with an exceptionally creative team”
We worked very intensively with Knguru in Q1 2026 on a concept for a new training platform in civil protection. The collaboration was excellent, and the Knguru team contributed a great many very good ideas of their own that went far beyond the scope of a UX design. I have never experienced such outstanding collaboration on a project with any other team, and I'm thrilled. I can recommend Knguru wholeheartedly and look forward to working together again.

GraceGoogle reviewTranslated from German“Easy collaboration with excellent design results”
We have been working with KNGURU since the beginning of the year and are delighted all round. Coordination is easy and fast, the team responds quickly to requests, is friendly throughout and always implements feedback promptly and carefully. We especially value their proactive thinking: KNGURU brings in its own creative suggestions but also implements stricter requirements consistently and reliably when needed. The design itself is lovingly thought through and always user-centered – which also goes down extremely well with our stakeholders, who are thrilled with the results. The designs of our portal have even become the model for our client's new digital style guide.

TobiasProduct Manager, OpenCloud GmbHTranslated from German“Top agency with a real feel for good design”
Working together is a real pleasure: you describe what you have in mind and get it back, only more beautiful and better thought through. Communication is fast and straightforward. On top of that comes a modern, well-thought-out design that not only looks good but also simply feels right to use.

GalynaProduct Owner, HÄVG AGTranslated from German“Very happy with the collaboration”
We are working with KNGURU Studios on the launch of our new platform and are very happy with the collaboration. We especially appreciate how they think for themselves. The team doesn't simply implement our specifications but brings in its own ideas and develops them further in a meaningful way. You can also tell how much effort and attention to detail goes into the designs. Communication is fast and transparent, and we always know where the project stands. Feedback is taken up and implemented quickly. We are very happy with the collaboration so far and can recommend KNGURU Studios to anyone.

Standard software ends where your process begins.
Custom software isn't for everyone. It pays off when the way you work is the thing you are good at and every standard tool makes you work around it.
01
Your process is your advantage
If your workflow beats the competition, your software should carry it. Right now it probably squeezes it into someone else's template.
02
Standard tools force workarounds
Three tools, two Excel sheets and a Zapier in between. It works until the one person who understands the setup quits.
03
Own it instead of renting
License costs grow with every new hire. Software you own does not. The code, the data and the decision to change it stay with you.
Four steps to a working version
Price and scope are on the table after every step, not at the end.
Prototype
21 daysWe go through your process and build a clickable prototype your team clicks through before any code is written. From €5,490, fully credited to the build.
Fixed price for the build
after the prototypeWhat breaks in the prototype costs nothing later. What works gets a fixed price, from €15,000.
Development in sprints
3 to 6 monthsReact, Next.js, React Native and Node.js. Every two weeks you get a demo with working features instead of a status report.
Launch, support and further development
ongoingWe take it live, keep it secure and up to date and add new features, from €1,990 a month. The code has been yours since day one.
What custom software development costs
Having software built with us means: the prototype comes first, then a fixed price for the build, then support and further development by the month. You don't have to wait for a proposal to learn any of this.

Recruiting is often chaotic and manual. With Funellab we built a platform that filters, organizes and matches applicants automatically.
Complex CAD workflows made simple and intuitive.
Mensch und Maschine specializes in CAD and BIM software. We built an intuitive solution that simplifies complex processes and makes it easy for teams to work together.- Confidential

For Red Bull Salzburg. That's all we can say.
Not every project can be shown. What we worked on for Red Bull Salzburg stays confidential. If you build with us, you can count on the same discretion. - Confidential

For Evergreen. And that stays between us.
What we did for Evergreen stays in-house. Here too, we can't show anything. If you build with us, you can count on the same discretion.
Agency, in-house developer or freelancer
We are not always the right choice. If software is your core business, you need your own team in-house. Then we build the start and hand over.
In-house developer
- Who works on it
- One person, design and concept come on top
- Until the start
- Hiring takes months, then onboarding
- Cost
- Salary runs from the first month, with or without work
- If someone drops out
- If the developer quits, the knowledge leaves too
- Ownership
- Yours
- After the launch
- Fully booked or underused
Freelancer
- Who works on it
- One trade, you coordinate the rest
- Until the start
- Fast, if someone is free right now
- Cost
- Hourly rate, open-ended
- If someone drops out
- The project stalls until a replacement is up to speed
- Ownership
- Usually yes, docs rarely
- After the launch
- Renegotiate
KNGURU
- Who works on it
- Concept, UX/UI design, development and project management from one team
- Until the start
- Prototype in 21 days, then the fixed price stands
- Cost
- Prototype from €5,490, then a fixed price from €15,000
- If someone drops out
- The team covers it, the knowledge lives in the repository and the docs
- Ownership
- Code, design and accounts are in your name
- After the launch
- Support and further development from €1,990 a month
Many clients add their own developer after the launch. They take over a clean repository and documentation, not a puzzle.
What you get in writing
Four commitments that live in the contract, not only on this page.
01
The agreed price is the final price
After the prototype the price is fixed. Change requests get a number before we start them, never after.
02
Code, design and accounts belong to you
Repository, Figma files, Webflow and hosting run under your name. You can walk away with all of it.
03
We'll also tell you what you don't need
If the prototype shows the software isn't worth building, we say so. The result is yours either way.
04
A reply within one business day
Management reads every inquiry personally. You get an answer, not a ticket number.

Frequently asked questions about custom software development
The questions managing directors ask us in the first call.
What does custom software development cost?
It depends on the scope, which is why every project starts with a prototype from €5,490. After that the fixed price for the build stands, from €15,000. Support and further development after the launch start at €1,990 a month.
How long does it take?
The prototype is ready after 21 days. A first production version follows after three to six months, depending on scope. Every two weeks you see a demo with features that actually run.
Who owns the code?
You do. Source code, documentation and every access credential are handed over. You can continue with another team whenever you want, even if we hope you won't.
Which technologies do you use?
Web apps and platforms with React and Next.js, mobile apps with React Native, backends with Node.js and PostgreSQL. Where it earns its place, we add AI: assistants, or analysis that runs on its own.
What happens after launch?
If you want, we run and monitor the software, keep it up to date and add new features, from €1,990 a month.
Book your free call.
We look at your plans with you as if they were our own. If the build isn't worth it, we'll tell you, even if that means no project.
