Ask three Egyptian software companies to quote the same website and you will get three numbers up to 10× apart. Nobody is necessarily lying — the market simply doesn't publish its rates. So we did something nobody in this market has done: we reviewed 46 software company websites across Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and global markets during June–July 2026, extracted every published price we found, and aggregated the results into one honest picture.
Methodology
We reviewed 110+ pages containing explicit figures. Only 11 of the 46 companies publish any prices at all — fewer than one in four. All sources are established Egyptian and Saudi companies that publish their rates openly on their official websites. We added our own delivery data from 150+ projects since 2014.
Honest limitations: published prices change, and any real quote depends on scope. Use these ranges to negotiate from knowledge — not as a fixed price list.

Egypt vs Saudi Arabia: the price gap, quantified
| Service | Saudi market (SAR) | ≈ in EGP | Egyptian market (EGP) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Informational website | 1,500 – 15,000 | 22,000 – 220,000 | 5,000 – 25,000 |
| E-commerce store | 8,000 – 50,000 | 117,000 – 730,000 | 20,000 – 110,000 |
| Simple mobile app | 12,000 – 60,000 | 176,000 – 880,000 | 165,000 – 250,000 |
| Mid-level mobile app | 30,000 – 150,000 | 440,000 – 2,200,000 | 250,000 – 440,000 |
The same scope costs 2–5× more in Saudi Arabia than in Egypt. That gap is exactly why Saudi businesses increasingly hire Egyptian teams remotely — and why we run a dedicated Saudi-market service page with rates published in riyals.
Three takeaways from the data
1. Transparency is rare. Only 11 of 46 companies publish any figure; the rest want you in a sales call first. We publish ours — compare them against the tables above.
2. The 10× gap is real. The same corporate website is listed at EGP 15,000 by one firm and EGP 130,000 by another. The actual difference lives in five things: custom design, security, performance, built-in SEO, and post-launch support. Ask about those five before comparing numbers.
3. Cheapest ends up most expensive. Sub-EGP-10,000 store offers are, in practice, unprotected templates. We have seen owners later pay multiples of the original price in repairs and rebuilds.
How to negotiate with these numbers
Pick your project tier from the tables, collect three quotes within that range, then compare what each price includes rather than the bare number: revision rounds, free support duration, code ownership, and year-two running costs. Any quote far outside the range — high or low — needs a written justification.
