Are these prices GST-inclusive?

No. The bands are pre-GST development figures in AUD, with the 10 per cent GST itemised separately. Where the work sits on a platform like HubSpot or Salesforce, the licence is a separate ongoing cost paid to that vendor.

Should we build a custom CRM or just customise HubSpot?

Usually customise. The problem is rarely the platform — it is that a generic install doesn't match your pipeline and the integrations were never built, which is most of what we do. We only recommend a custom build when your sales motion genuinely doesn't fit any off-the-shelf CRM, and we tell you that in discovery.

Can you migrate us off spreadsheets or an old CRM?

Yes, and we treat it as a first-class part of the job. We profile your data, dedupe contacts and companies, map old fields to the new model, and run the migration into a staging environment first so you can verify nothing was lost before going live.

How do you get reps to actually use the CRM?

By designing to remove data entry, not add it, and wiring lead capture so records create themselves from your forms, email, and phone. We also roll out to a small team first so the people who will champion it shape it before everyone else touches it.

How Much Does CRM Development Cost in Australia?

CRM development cost in Australia depends on whether you are customising a platform like HubSpot or building a CRM shaped around a sales motion that no product fits. For most Australian businesses the work runs between A$23,000 and A$190,000, and the right answer is often customisation, not a from-scratch build — we tell you which in discovery rather than selling you the bigger project by default.

Overview

What you're actually paying for.

The bands below cover the wiring that actually matters: a pipeline modelled to your real stages, lead capture from your forms, email, and phone, automations that remove manual data entry, and a clean migration off whatever graveyard of spreadsheets or legacy CRM you are escaping. The value is rarely the contact list; it is everything wired around it.

Figures are in Australian dollars with GST shown separately. Platform licences, where a build sits on top of HubSpot, Salesforce, or Zoho, are an ongoing cost paid to that vendor and are kept separate from the development figures below.

Price bands

What it costs in AUD.

Engagement	Range	What's included
Platform customisation and integration	A$23,000–A$55,000	Customising and extending HubSpot, Salesforce, or Zoho to your pipeline, with the automations and lead-capture integrations that were never set up. The fastest, cheapest path when an off-the-shelf platform is the right base.
Deep customisation or focused custom build	A$55,000–A$115,000	Heavy platform customisation or a focused custom CRM for a non-standard sales motion, with migration, reporting, and phone and email integration. The band most Australian CRM projects reach once the process is genuinely specific.
Full custom CRM	A$115,000–A$190,000	A bespoke CRM built where no platform fits: custom pipeline objects, quoting or pricing logic, deep integration across systems, and role-based access for reps, managers, and ops. Owned outright, no per-seat licence.

What moves the number

The factors that move the quote most.

Build versus customise
Customising HubSpot or Zoho is far cheaper than building from scratch and is the right call for conventional sales motions. A custom build is only worth it when your process genuinely cannot be modelled on a platform — and we say so honestly.
Integration count
Wiring the CRM to your web forms, inbound email, phone system, and downstream tools is where most of the value sits. Each integration is built and maintained, and the count is a direct driver of cost.
Data migration
Profiling, deduping, and migrating contacts and history from spreadsheets or a legacy CRM is meticulous work. A CRM that drops a rep's deals is dead on arrival, so this is done carefully before anything else ships.
Automation complexity
Simple lead routing is cheap; multi-step automations for assignment, follow-up, quoting, and stage changes are where the engineering grows. The more manual data entry you want gone, the more automation work it takes.
