Mobile app development cost

MVP

An MVP development includes only the essential features to solve a core user problem and gather initial feedback. This approach allows for rapid market entry and validates the product idea with minimal investment.

  • Price:

    from $25,000

  • Timeline:

    2-4 months

Simple app

A simple application typically features a clean UI, basic functionality, and requires no third-party integrations or backend development. It's an ideal solution for businesses looking to establish an initial mobile presence.

  • Price:

    from $45,000

  • Timeline:

    3-6 months

Top 5 aspects that impact the cost

1. Features & complexity

The number and complexity of features are the primary cost drivers. Simple features like login and user profiles are less expensive than advanced functionalities like real-time tracking, AR/VR integration, or AI-powered chatbots, which require more development hours and specialized expertise.

2. Design & UI/UX

Our mobile app design and development services involve a deep dive into wireframing, prototyping, and crafting unique visual elements, a bespoke process that enhances engagement and naturally influences the project cost.

3. Platform & devices

Developing for a single platform (iOS or Android) is more cost-effective than building for both. Cross-platform development can reduce costs, but native apps often provide superior performance and user experience. Supporting a wide range of devices and screen sizes also increases testing and development time.

4. Backend & API integration

A powerful backend is crucial for data storage, user management, and server-side logic. The cost increases with the complexity of the backend architecture and the number of third-party API integrations needed for services like payments, social media, or mapping.

5. Post-launch maintenance & support

The cost of app development doesn't end at launch. Ongoing maintenance, including server hosting, bug fixes, feature updates, and OS compatibility updates, is essential for the long-term success of the application and should be factored into the overall budget.
