How Custom Plugin Development Works: Brief to Build

Sometimes the feature your server needs does not exist as a download. Custom plugin development is how you get it built: you describe what you want, we give you one fixed price, and you receive the finished plugin together with its source code. This page walks through each step and what it costs.

FAQ

Frequently asked

How much does a custom plugin cost?

Most work lands between €69 and €199 depending on scope. You get one fixed price before any work starts, and we do not bill by the hour.

How long does it take?

You get a fixed quote and a timeline within 1 business day. Small integrations are usually a few days. Larger gamemodes and dashboards are typically one to three weeks, agreed with the quote.

Do I get the source code?

Yes. You receive the source and the built file, and you are free to keep using or changing them wherever your server is hosted.

Do I need to host my server with Puranode?

No. We build for servers hosted anywhere. If you do host with us, we install and configure the plugin as part of delivery.

What if it does not work as described?

The build is backed for 30 days after delivery for anything that does not work as specified.
