Upgrade Laravel Version
LTS planning, breaking changes, dependency updates, and legacy refactoring. From $500 to $15,000 depending on version gap.
Risks of Not Upgrading
Security Vulnerabilities
End-of-life versions no longer receive security patches. Your app becomes an easy target.
Package Incompatibility
New packages require modern Laravel. You can't add features because dependencies fail.
Performance Loss
Newer Laravel versions include significant performance improvements and PHP 8.2+ optimizations.

Upgrade FAQ
Why should I upgrade my Laravel version?
Older Laravel versions lose security patches, miss performance improvements, and have incompatible dependencies. Upgrading ensures security, speed, and access to new features like PHP 8.2+ support.
How much does a Laravel version upgrade cost?
Upgrading from Laravel 8-9 to 10-11 costs $2,000-$5,000. Legacy upgrades (5.x-7.x) cost $5,000-$15,000 depending on codebase size and deprecated packages used.
Do you refactor legacy Laravel code?
Yes. We refactor deprecated patterns, upgrade to modern syntax (like enum casts, new Eloquent methods), and improve code quality during the upgrade process.
