Consultancies produce custom programs, and can run into tens of millions
of pounds/dollars/whatever. Air traffic control systems, and suchlike.
Down the scale is "mostly" standardised software designed for industry;
I dunno, like animation/vide effects suites. These presumably cost a
mint, and chances are that you'll fork out for extra consultancy for
custom tweaks and in-house expertise.
Then you get retail software, designed for the likes of you and me. Most
of this software is under 100 quid, although something like Microsoft
Office weighs in somewhat heavier than that.
And presumably, there's software in the middle of the last two
scenarious above, catering for the serious amatuer.
