How much does software development cost in the UK?

For an agency of our shape: fixed-price projects from £5,000, with larger builds scoped and priced before work begins, and ongoing support from £400 a month. We agree the price before work starts and split payment into milestones, so you only pay for delivered work.

How do I choose between UK software development companies?

Look past the rankings — directories list hundreds. Compare three things: a portfolio you can actually inspect, how long the company has been shipping, and whether you own the code at the end. We've delivered 50+ projects since 2019, hold a 4.9 rating on Clutch, and every client keeps their code.

Why choose a UK company over offshore development?

Your contract sits under English law, your data is handled under UK GDPR, and your calls happen in your working day. Offshore day rates look lower — the difference tends to disappear into rework, handover and management time. Our model splits the difference: UK leadership, remote delivery, fixed prices.

Where in the UK are you based?

London — registered and led there, with engineers working remotely across time zones. In practice UK clients see us on a weekly call rather than in an office, and that model keeps our prices below what a city-office agency needs to charge.

Do you work with clients outside the UK?

Yes. Alongside UK companies we've delivered for US organisations — the logo strip on our homepage includes a few. The centre of gravity stays here: UK contracts, UK hours, prices in pounds.

4.9 via Clutch

The enthusiasm, understanding of our mission, and passion from the first few minutes of the call were the deciding factors in choosing CodeLeap. Within 3 months of our app launching, we had over 1,500 downloads, appeared in leading publications from Forbes, The Metro, Marie Claire, Women's Fitness and many more, and started raising further investment.

Charlie CEO, Becon
They are incredibly diligent in the quality of work they produce, and go above and beyond when it comes to solving issues faced within the project, and to ensure we meet strict project deadlines. You never feel like you are one of many clients, and they ensure they are always there to help with any need you have, no matter how big or small.

Amelia Parmiter Marketing Manager, AWS - Marble
CodeLeap made me feel like my options were limitless in terms of what could be achieved, which was critical to me as we were creating something very unique. I'm glad I chose Codeleap over a large corporation as the personable approach resulted in a smooth and pleasant experience.

James CEO, Bearable
Working with CodeLeap was a very good experience from both a professional and personal point of view. These people know what they are doing and are both efficient and clever and made a good partner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend CodeLeap.

John CEO, Neurometrics-Diab
CodeLeap adds so much value and goes above and beyond what I expected. CodeLeap's team is very flexible with all the different requests we've put in front of them. They've also been great with the whole business side of things, and being able to forecast for this industry is really helpful. Overall, I'm completely satisfied with their work — they've been incredibly helpful.

Johanne CEO, Cherry
Their flexibility and focus on quality were outstanding.

Mike Fenna CTO, Kite Insights
Marcelo has been wonderful throughout the process and we are very happy.
