Use Euron Systems, or build your own?
Even with AI writing half the code, a platform that does what this one does is a twelve to eighteen month project with a team behind it. Here is what that actually costs, in India and in the United States, against switching one on this afternoon.
Figures are market estimates for a twelve month build, not quotes. Salaries are annual employer cost at mid to senior level. United States figures exclude benefits and payroll tax, which typically add another 25 to 30 percent.
Where the money actually goes.

The costs that do not show up in the estimate.
AI changes the build. It does not remove it.
Code generation genuinely speeds up the first eighty percent. The remaining twenty is where platforms live or die.
