Traditional: 6-10 months, ₹60-90L. With AI: 10-14 weeks, ₹38-55L. Property portals like 99acres, MagicBricks built 40% faster with AI.
PropTech in India is booming — from property listing portals like 99acres and MagicBricks to society management apps and virtual tour platforms. Building a PropTech application traditionally takes 6-10 months and ₹60-90L. With AI-accelerated development, the same platform ships in 10-14 weeks at ₹38-55L. This guide provides exact cost comparisons based on PropTech projects delivered by Boolean & Beyond from Bangalore and Coimbatore.
A traditional property technology platform requires 8-14 engineers building complex features: property listing management with search and filters, map integration with geolocation services, virtual property tours (360-degree or video walkthroughs), document verification and RERA compliance modules, EMI calculators and home loan integration, tenant management systems, and owner dashboards with analytics. The 6-10 month timeline accounts for extensive UI/UX design (property search is highly visual), third-party integrations (maps, payment, verification APIs), and thorough testing across devices. Costs break down to: backend at 30% (₹18-27L), web and mobile apps at 25% (₹15-22L), search and map integration at 15% (₹9-13L), verification and compliance at 15% (₹9-13L), and QA plus DevOps at 15% (₹9-13L).
AI-accelerated development compresses the timeline to 10-14 weeks by leveraging AI-generated search algorithms with natural language property queries, pre-built map and geolocation services with AI-assisted configuration, AI-powered image enhancement and virtual staging for property photos, automated document extraction for RERA compliance, and AI-generated responsive UI components. The team shrinks to 5-7 engineers. Cost breakdown: backend and APIs at ₹12-18L, web and mobile apps at ₹10-14L, search and maps at ₹6-8L, verification modules at ₹5-8L, and QA plus infrastructure at ₹5-7L.
Property listing with advanced search: Traditional ₹12-18L (5-7 weeks) vs AI-accelerated ₹7-10L (2-3 weeks). Map integration with locality insights: Traditional ₹6-9L (3-4 weeks) vs AI-accelerated ₹3-5L (1.5-2 weeks). Virtual tours and 360-degree views: Traditional ₹8-12L (4-6 weeks) vs AI-accelerated ₹5-7L (2-3 weeks). RERA compliance and document verification: Traditional ₹5-8L (3-4 weeks) vs AI-accelerated ₹3-5L (1-2 weeks). Owner and tenant dashboards: Traditional ₹6-9L (3-5 weeks) vs AI-accelerated ₹4-5L (1.5-2 weeks). EMI calculator and loan integration: Traditional ₹3-5L (2-3 weeks) vs AI-accelerated ₹2-3L (1-1.5 weeks).
Building PropTech for the Indian market requires specific features that global platforms often lack: RERA registration number verification, stamp duty calculators that vary by state, vernacular language support for tier-2 and tier-3 cities, integration with Indian map providers alongside Google Maps for better coverage in newer developments, WhatsApp-based lead communication (90% of Indian property enquiries happen on WhatsApp), and Aadhaar-based e-KYC for tenant verification. AI-accelerated development handles these India-specific requirements efficiently — AI tools can generate state-wise stamp duty calculation logic, vernacular UI translations, and WhatsApp Business API integrations in days rather than weeks.
Boolean & Beyond builds PropTech applications from our offices in Bangalore and Coimbatore for real estate developers, property management companies, and PropTech startups across India. Our stack includes Next.js for SEO-friendly property listing pages, React Native for mobile apps, Elasticsearch for fast property search, Mapbox for map integration, and AWS S3 with CloudFront for property image delivery. We have built 99acres-style listing portals, society management apps, and commercial real estate platforms — all with RERA compliance, vernacular support, and WhatsApp integration as standard features.

Traditional PropTech app development costs ₹35-70 lakhs and takes 5-8 months. AI-accelerated development reduces this to ₹18-35 lakhs in 2-4 months. The cost depends on features — basic property listing apps are cheaper, while platforms with virtual tours, AI-powered valuations, and tenant management cost more.
Essential features include property listing with advanced search and filters, map integration with locality data, virtual property tours (3D/video), tenant/owner verification (Aadhaar-based), rent payment integration (UPI/bank transfer), document management for agreements, maintenance request tracking, and push notifications. For commercial PropTech, add lease management and compliance tracking.
AI powers property valuation using comparable sales and location data, personalised property recommendations based on user behaviour, automated lead scoring for agents, chatbots for property enquiries, predictive maintenance for property managers, and computer vision for virtual staging and property condition assessment. These features significantly improve user engagement and conversion rates.
