What is a Custom WordPress Plugin?

WordPress Plugin is similar to the applications you download on your phone. Plugins can either be downloaded or purchased to add the new functionality or extend your website’s existing functionality. WordPress users can create richly-featured and robust WordPress websites using the plugins without a single line of code.

On the other hand, the custom WordPress plugin is software developed according to the specific needs of the users. The software is created by considering the clients’ requirements by incorporating rich features that make a feature-rich and user-friendly WordPress website.

There are several benefits of custom WordPress plugin development. With WordPress Plugins, you can extend the core functionality of your WordPress website, add a WhatsApp share button, animated sliders, contact calendars, book appointment forms, take backups of your site in case of data failures, and many more.

Are you now wondering how much it costs to build a WordPress plugin from scratch? Read on to know the WordPress plugin pricing details and the factors that determine the cost of developing WordPress Plugins.

The Factors That Determines The Cost of WordPress Plugins?

What Are The Factors That Determines The Cost of WordPress Plugins?

The factors that determine the WordPress plugin development cost include the following:

  • Complexity

    Complexity is the most critical factor determining WordPress plugins’ cost. You can differentiate the plugins that advise on how to properly update content to optimize your WordPress website if Google comes up with new rules and the plugins that allow you to access the payment gateway to enable your customers to make payments directly from your website. These are two different features of WordPress plugins, and the timing required to develop both varies. Hence, the WordPress plugin’s cost largely depends on its complexity.

  • Time Frame

    Do you want your WordPress plugin on an urgent basis? Is there any deadline that you need to meet? The cost of your WordPress plugin also depends on how immediate you want your developers to develop richly-featured plugins for you?

  • Changing The Course

    If you plan to make changes in your projects halfway, and want additional features, be ready to pay more. If changes are minor, then it is wonderful. But if there are significant changes, paying costs is unavoidable.

  • Maintenance And Support

    The plugin maintenance cost generally depends on the complexity of your plugin, the degree of technical sophistication, software upgradation required, and more. Plugins maintenance and support are offered at an additional cost. Consult with your developers on the cost of developing and maintaining plugins.

  • Further Use of Plugins

    The cost of plugins also depends upon their uses. For example, if you have any plans to use it outside your WordPress website, want to share it with everyone who is using the WordPress website, want to sell it to others on your own, or wish to use it for your work. Hence, it is suggested to share your details before sharing or selling your plugin.

How To Avoid Overpaying?

To avoid overpaying your WordPress Plugin Developer, it is suggested to create a list of features and functionality you want in your WordPress plugins with your developer. We recommend you discuss everything with your developer before making a final deal. This helps you to avoid overpaying for your product. Also, it will help you reduce your fees if you want further changes to your product.

Remember, the level of customization and functionality you require in your plugins immensely affects your plugin cost.

So, What Is The Exact Cost of Developing a WordPress Plugin?

As you have seen, several factors determine the cost of developing your WordPress Plugin. Hence, deciding on the exact cost of creating a website is pretty challenging.

If your plugin is not much complex and has fewer features and functionality, the cost can vary between $500 – $1000. Whereas, if your plugin is more complex and has rich features, the price may range between $1000 – $5000.

If you want a booking system and payment gateway on your WordPress website, the cost of this plugin can reach up to $5000.

Please note that this is just an estimated price; your final price may differ.
