Should I build my software in-house?
Should I build my software in-house?
Building software is a highly technical discipline, and if you're integrating AI, that adds more complexity. If you are developing in-house, Pointmatic can help you fill gaps in your organization: system architecture, prototyping, AI-enabled software, quality assurance, production deployment, security, and privacy.
While some businesses consider building their own software or using no-code AI tools, the field is evolving so rapidly that it’s tough to keep up. Pointmatic stays on the cutting edge, so you don’t have to—making us the ideal partner to guide your AI transformation with speed, adaptability, and trust.
If you are not a software company, it boils down to whether you would rather learn to become a software company or instead focus on your core business problems.
In-House Software Development Costs
In-House Software Development Costs
To make software that works, you typically need staff with experience in product management, business analysis, system architecture, UI/UX design, software engineering, database engineering, security, and privacy regulation. And if you plan to incorporate AI, you'll also need specialists with experience in machine learning (ML) algorithms, data science, data engineering, and other AI technologies. A bigger team means you can build and fix more software, but it also increases the risks with people management and communication bottlenecks.

Solo Engineer
Solo Engineer
Affordable but risky
Affordable but risky
It is possible to build software by hiring a solo engineer. Translating business requirements into technical requirements is hard. A lot of software has been reworked multiple times just because of mismatched requirements. Training and retaining a single software engineer is also difficult.
Total cost (with taxes and benefits) $135K to $200K
Small Team
Small Team
Covers basics but costly
Covers basics but costly
There are a number of small businesses that have their own in-house software engineering team. To do this minimally, you'll need four to five people: a product manager/analyst, two full-stack software engineers, and a QA/devops/cloud engineer. If you're also integrating AI, you'll need an AI/ML engineer.
Total cost (with taxes and benefits) $700K to $860K
Moderate Team

Too expensive for SMBs
Too expensive for SMBs
Some small-to-midsize businesses have eight to eleven software staff. That's an engineering manager, product manager, four software engineers (frontend/backend), a devops engineer/SRE, and a QA/test automation engineer. For AI, you'll also need two ML/AI engineers and a data engineer.
Total cost (with taxes and benefits) $1.4M to $2.0M
Complete Team

A complete software team that can support multiple products has 19–25 people. You'll need a director of engineering, two product managers, an analyst, a UI/UX designer, two tech leads, eight software engineers (frontend/backend), and four DevOps/SRE/QA staff. For AI, you'll need another six staff.
Total cost (with taxes and benefits) $3.3M to $4.5M
