Small apps may take 3–4 weeks, larger multi-module solutions several months. Can you build multi-app ecosystems? Yes. We frequently create multiple Frappe apps that work together in a coordinated ecosystem. Will updates break custom apps? If the app is built properly, no. We follow Frappe best practices, separation of concerns, and versioning to prevent issues. Is Frappe suitable for enterprise-scale applications? Yes, of course.
