How much does custom software development cost?

Projects at Tallium typically start from $50,000 for full-cycle product development. Packaged offerings start lower: a Product Concept sprint is $4,950 and a custom AI assistant is $7,950. Most client engagements range from $50,000 to $200,000+, depending on scope and team size. Tallium's rates are up to 50% lower than comparable in-house development and 20-30% below other mature outsourcing companies.

How long does a custom software project take?

Timelines depend on project scope. A product concept and development strategy is ready in 2 weeks. A clickable prototype takes 4-6 weeks. A full MVP is typically delivered in 2-4 months. A core engineering team can be assembled in 1-2 weeks; custom profiles take 3-4 weeks to hire. Dedicated team and ongoing development engagements are open-ended and scale with the client's roadmap.

What is the minimum project size Tallium takes on?

The smallest packaged offering is a Product Concept sprint at $4,950, which delivers a validated product concept, architecture, and development roadmap in 2 weeks. For full-cycle development, the recommended starting budget is $50,000-$100,000, which typically covers an MVP. Tallium does not take on isolated ad-hoc tasks; all engagements are structured around clear business goals and a defined scope.

Challenges

As a social enterprise that supports budding entrepreneurs through mentoring, training, business planning advice at some time, X-Forces came up with an idea to release a specialized advanced tool for communication between mentors and members, that would become a good alternative to e-mails and messengers.
Based on X-Forces’ needs, we highlighted the key idea to create a platform that would combine social networking with user matching algorithm features and task management tools and establish an effective flow of entrepreneurial projects management.

Execution

The platform is a social network inside the X-Forces community.

Starting with quick registration and authorization through Linkedin or Facebook, the user fills out an application about his or her business ideas and interests, based on which the algorithm selects a perfect mentor for the project.

Cooperation between users is supported by various task management features. The tool helps mentors to establish milestones and tasks for a specific date and assign them to members or projects.

Communication between mentors and members goes through the online chat that includes an automated chatbot with all required system notifications. Every edit displays in the feed of the project.

Also, Knowledge Hub gives users the ability to create
private and public events within the X-Forces community
to support the business development of the military people.
