FAQ

What technologies does your team use for custom software development?

Depending on the requirements of the specific education software project, we select the most suitable technologies to be used. For instance, when we developed Avidnote, a research tool with more than 70k researchers using it, we relied on Laravel for backend reliability, Vue. js for a dynamic front end and MySQL for handling data in relations. It is imperative that we get it right in the choice of tools that we use, especially in the case of large educational data repositories, cloud for online learning platforms, and artificial intelligence for research software. This is the reason we make sure that the technology that we provide can meet the goals of your institution to provide the best performance and efficiency.

Who can benefit from custom education software solutions?

The development of custom education software addresses different institutions, from universities to research laboratories to online education facilities. Our software can be used to improve how researchers manage their work, support digitalisation of school administration needs, or develop a captivating LMS. This way, we guarantee that institutions can deal with all their issues, including student information and lesson plans, research and cooperation, and content sharing.

What is the cost of developing an education app?

The cost of development of an education app can be different based on the type of platform and the features you want to include, such as user management, content upload, and AI analysis tools or LMS integration, or other administrative tools. Usually, the cost of developing education software can be anywhere between €10,000 and €250,000. However, if you wish for a more accurate quotation depending on your project requirements, please contact us to discuss the details.

How long does it take to build an education app?

The timeline for building an education app usually spans between 3 and 15 months. Factors that influence the timeline include the app’s complexity, the required features (such as multi-user management, content libraries, or analytics dashboards), and the platform's scope (whether for schools, research labs, or online learning).
