Denver prices, and Denver's software tax

We read the sites of 20 Denver-area software firms on 2026-10-16. Two print a numeric price ladder, and the rest ask for a call before they give a number. Clutch lists hourly rates for 18 Denver app developers: $150 to $199 for 8, $100 to $149 for 3 and under $100 for 7 (vendor-submitted fields, read 2026-10-15). Ours are on the pricing page.

Denver's software tax guide (Topic 18, read 2026-10-16) taxes software programs, software as a service, licence fees and maintenance agreements when the sale or use is in Denver. It treats code written as work for hire, where the client owns the work throughout and the developer cannot reuse it, as a personal service. Hosting and care plans sit closer to the taxed categories. So we invoice build, hosting and care on separate lines, plus applicable tax.

This is not tax advice. Ask your CPA or the City's Revenue Division which side your purchase falls on.

Denver questions

Short answers, with sources and dates.

Who builds custom software for Denver small businesses?

Denver has many software firms, from solo builders to large consultancies. Of the 20 Denver-area firm sites we read on 2026-10-16, two print a numeric price ladder. Benchford is a studio in Lyons, not Denver, that prints every price: Focused $4,950, Complete $9,850 and Build + Extend $22,500, plus applicable tax.

Does Denver tax custom software?

It can, depending on how the work is structured, and we cannot give tax advice. Denver's software tax guide (Topic 18, read 2026-10-16) taxes software programs, software as a service, licence fees and maintenance agreements when the sale or use is in Denver. It treats code written as work for hire, where the client owns the work throughout and the developer cannot reuse it, as a personal service that is not taxed. Hosting and care plans sit closer to the taxed categories. We list build, hosting and care on separate lines, plus applicable tax, so a later ruling changes one line. Ask your CPA or the City's Revenue Division which side your purchase falls on.

How do Denver studios price their work?

Mostly after a call. Clutch lists hourly rates for 18 Denver app developers: $150 to $199 for 8, $100 to $149 for 3 and under $100 for 7 (vendor-submitted fields, read 2026-10-15). Fixed prices exist but are rare: two of the 20 firm sites we read print a ladder. Ours is printed on the pricing page.

Are you a Denver company?

No. Benchford is based in Lyons, Colorado, and we do not have a Denver office. We build remotely for Denver clients with a written status every week.

Can you invoice build, hosting and care separately?

Yes, and we do by default. Build, hosting and care each get their own invoice line, so the tax treatment of each line stays clear.

Do you come on site?

No. We work by phone and video: a free thirty-minute call, a written scope, a written status every week and video check-ins before launch. Because the work is remote, the price and the ship date do not change with distance.
