Web, Mobile App & Backend Development
Most agencies specialise in one layer and outsource the rest. Cloudemy covers all three layers of a digital product in-house — so your mobile app, website and the backend that powers both are built by the same team, using the same conventions, with no hand-off gaps.
That matters because the frontend and backend of a real product are not independent. The API your app calls needs to match the data model your web platform writes to. When the team building both layers sits in the same room, this alignment happens by default — not through lengthy spec documents.

Custom software vs off-the-shelf
Custom software is not always the right answer. Here is when it is — and when it isn't.
Build exactly what you need, own it outright.
- ✓ Fits your exact workflow — not the other way around
- ✓ Full ownership, no monthly licensing fees at scale
- ✓ Integrates with any existing system or API
- ✓ Unique product that competitors can't simply buy
- ✓ Built for scale from day one
- ✕ Higher upfront investment than an off-the-shelf tool
- ✕ Takes longer to get to first version
Right for: startups building a unique product, businesses with specific workflows, companies that have outgrown generic SaaS tools.
Buy a tool that many other businesses also use.
- ✓ Faster to deploy — often available same day
- ✓ Lower upfront cost for simple use cases
- ✕ You adapt to the tool, not the tool to you
- ✕ Per-seat fees grow as your team grows
- ✕ Limited ability to integrate or extend
- ✕ Vendor lock-in — you depend on their roadmap
- ✕ Competitors can buy the same advantage instantly
Right for: standard functions (email, accounting, CRM) where your workflow is identical to every other business in your category.
Custom software development questions answered
A custom software development company builds applications designed specifically for one business, rather than selling a generic product to many customers. Unlike off-the-shelf software, custom software is built to your exact workflow, integrates with your existing systems and is owned entirely by you. Cloudemy is a custom software development company that builds mobile apps, websites and backend APIs for businesses across India.
Costs depend on complexity. A basic mobile app or website starts around ₹50,000–₹2,00,000. A full-featured app with a custom backend, real-time features and both Android and iOS builds typically ranges from ₹2,00,000–₹12,00,000. Cloudemy provides a written fixed-price quote after a free 30-minute discovery call — no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
Off-the-shelf software is built for a general audience and sold to many customers — you adapt your processes to fit the tool. Custom software is built specifically for your business — the tool adapts to your processes. Custom software gives you full ownership, no recurring per-seat licensing fees, exactly the features you need and the ability to integrate with your existing systems. It costs more to build initially but typically costs far less to operate at scale.
A standard mobile app: 8–14 weeks from scope sign-off to Play Store launch. A complex platform with custom backend and multiple user roles: 16–28 weeks. Every project gets a written schedule broken down by phase before we start — discovery, design, development, testing and launch — so you always know exactly what we're building and by when.
