For Australian companies
Software Development Company for Australian Businesses
Limbani Softwares builds custom software, mobile apps, SaaS platforms and AI features for Australian startups and SMEs. Our in-house team in Vadodara, India overlaps three to four hours with Sydney and Melbourne every afternoon, works with the Australian Privacy Principles in mind, and prices projects on scope from $1000.
Working hours
How much of your working day do we share?
Our day starts as yours reaches lunch. We use the afternoon overlap for stand-ups, demos and reviews, then keep building while you finish for the day, so feedback you give in the afternoon is often already in staging the next morning.
| Location | Time zone | Shared hours |
|---|---|---|
| Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra (AEST) | UTC+10 | 13:30 to 17:30 local time |
| Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra (AEDT, daylight saving) | UTC+11 | 14:30 to 17:30 local time |
| Brisbane (AEST all year) | UTC+10 | 13:30 to 17:30 local time |
| Perth (AWST) | UTC+8 | 11:30 to 17:00 local time |
Why do Australian businesses use a development team in India?
Local developer rates in Sydney and Melbourne make it hard for startups and SMEs to fund a full product build. Working with an India-based team lets you put the same budget into more features and a longer runway. The time difference also works in your favour: we build while you sleep and you review what we shipped the next morning.
Clients usually come to us for one of three reasons: to build a first version of a product, to add AI features to an existing system, or to add steady development capacity without hiring locally.
What we build for Australian clients
Recent and typical work includes:
- Corporate and investor websites, including our build for an ASX-listed gold miner
- SaaS MVPs and booking, membership or field-service platforms
- Customer mobile apps for iOS and Android with payments and notifications
- AI assistants, AI receptionists and workflow automation for service businesses
- Shopify and custom e-commerce stores
- Ongoing maintenance and feature work on existing products
AI development agency for Australian businesses
Australian companies searching for an AI development agency or an AI app development company usually want one of three things: an assistant that answers from their own documents, an AI feature inside an existing app, or automation of a repetitive back-office process. We start with a short feasibility pilot on your real data, build only where the results justify it, and keep production in an Australian cloud region with explanations and human review designed in for any AI decision that affects people.
- AI assistants and chatbots grounded in your content, with citations and handoff to staff
- AI agents for bookings, triage and operations, with approvals on risky actions
- AI features inside mobile and web apps you already run
- Workflow automation with n8n and custom integrations
How do you handle the Privacy Act and the APPs?
If your business is covered by the Privacy Act 1988, Australian Privacy Principle 8 means you stay accountable for personal information you disclose to an overseas provider like us. We support that with a written contract that limits what we can do with the data, an NDA, and an engagement designed so we touch as little personal information as possible.
We build and test with dummy data, keep production in your Australian cloud region (for example AWS Sydney or Azure Australia East), and give access only to named engineers who need it. Changes to the Privacy Act add transparency duties for automated decisions from 10 December 2026, so if your product uses AI to make decisions about people, we design clear explanations and human review into it from the start.
- Contract terms covering use, security and return of personal information
- Production data kept in your Australian cloud region
- Named, logged access for each engineer
- Explainability and human review for AI features that affect people
How the work runs across the time difference
After a discovery call and a written scope, we work in two-week sprints. We meet in your afternoon for stand-ups and sprint demos, and you get a short written update at the end of each of our days. The repository, task board and staging site are yours, so you can check progress at any time without waiting for a meeting.
How much does app or software development cost for an Australian business?
Projects with Limbani Softwares start from $1000 (USD) and are priced on scope after a discovery call. The main cost drivers are the platforms you need, integrations, payment and booking flows, AI usage and how much design work is required.
As a reference point, a 2026 Australian guide puts a standard app built by a local agency at roughly A$2500 to A$100,000, and another source cites local agency rates of about A$120 to A$200 an hour against A$30 to A$70 for India-based teams. These are third-party market figures, not our prices, and real quotes vary with scope.

Work we can show you
Bellevue Gold (Australia): team extension
A dedicated team worked as an extension of Bellevue Gold's own team on its corporate and investor website, built on WordPress and Bootstrap.
AI receptionist MVP for a salon chain
AI and n8n receptionist we built as an MVP for a multi-branch salon: bookings, rescheduling, FAQs, WhatsApp confirmations and human handoff.
When we are not the right fit
We would rather say this now than waste your time. Look for a different partner if:
- You need developers available through the whole Australian morning every day.
- Your project requires engineers with Australian security clearance.
- All work must be done on your premises.
