What does custom software cost when built from Lithuania?

At Corera, a first working version starts at €5,000 and larger products with customer portals and integrations run up to €30,000. You get a fixed quote with milestones within 3–5 business days after a free 30-minute call — priced by scope, not by the hour.

How fast can a first version ship?

A first working version typically ships in 2–6 weeks; larger products in 1–3 months. AI-assisted development compresses the build phase — the calendar time goes into decisions, integrations and testing, not typing.

You do. Code, content and all access credentials are handed over at project end, with no lock-in or rental clauses. This is written into the contract.

How do we collaborate across countries?

Lithuania shares the CET/EET workday with the Nordics, so collaboration happens live, not asynchronously. Work runs in short milestones with a public build log, and you see progress on a staging URL from week one.

Why should AI-first development change what I pay?

Because the expensive part has moved. Writing code is several times faster than it was two years ago, so a fair vendor now delivers more for the same money: broader technical foundations, faster iterations, and an AI-visibility layer. If a quote looks like 2023 pricing for 2023 scope, you are paying for someone's unchanged process.

AI-era software development from the Baltics

What does AI-first custom software from Lithuania cost?

At Corera, a first working product version starts at €5,000 and typically ships in 2–6 weeks; larger builds run up to €30,000 over 1–3 months. Quotes are fixed-scope with milestones, delivered within 3–5 business days after a free 30-minute call, and you own the code outright — no lock-in, no rental clauses.

Why the Baltics, and why now?

Nordic companies have bought software from the Baltics for two decades, mostly on one argument: lower rates for the same skills, in the same time zone. That argument still holds — but AI-assisted development has added a second one that matters more.

When code is written several times faster, the difference between vendors stops being hourly rates and becomes how much verified, working product you get per euro of budget. A small senior team working AI-first ships what used to take a mid-sized agency — and a fixed-scope quote makes that measurable instead of theoretical.

What should you demand from any vendor?

A quote that lists what is excluded. Any vendor can list inclusions. The exclusions are where projects blow up.
A staging URL from week one. Progress you can click beats progress reported in slides.
Code ownership in the contract. If the answer to “what happens if we stop paying?” is “your product stops working”, you are renting, not buying.
An AI-visibility layer. Your product will be read by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI as much as by humans. Structured data and machine-readable answers are build-time work — retrofitting them later costs more.

What does the evidence look like?

We publish our work openly. Two examples from our own projects, both measured in Google Search Console rather than tool estimates: a marketplace we built and grew to 67,590 search clicks in 28 days, and a consumer app whose weekly search traffic grew from 1,317 to 9,642 clicks within four weeks of shipping a machine-readable content layer.

Our build process itself is public — every project ships with a build log you can read before you ever talk to us.

How does a project start?

With a 30-minute call — free, in English, no preparation needed. If your case is better served by an off-the-shelf tool, we say so on that call. Otherwise you receive a fixed quote with milestones within 3–5 business days, and a first working version 2–6 weeks after we start.
