    How Much Does It Cost To Devlope An App?

    61999
    If you have already researched for information about app development, the key
    question you probably want an answer to is “how much does it cost to make an
    app? The cost of making an app may involve many factors. No app development
    team can give you an app development cost estimate without knowing the main
    factors of your app, such as app business logic, features, development team
    location and composition, and so on.

    To mention upfront, the cost to create an app is very hard to estimate and the
    sum can vary from $15,000 to $250,000+ for one platform. Minimum budget to
    build an app is around $10,000 for a very basic project. In most of the cases, this
    price will increase on average up to $40,000 for the first, simple app version.

    However, if you have any idea about your app functionality, you can find the
    costs to develop app features below. Moreover, in this article you will find tips on
    app development costs depending on an app's complexity. 

    But firstly, let’s not waste more time and get right into the subject.

    Factors That Determine App Development Cost

    As, there is no precise answer to the question “how much does it cost to make an
    app?” because the price depends on factors:

     Type of project (social, on-demand delivery, e-commerce, healthcare, etc.)

     Type of vendor you choose (freelancers, IT agency)

     Vendor’s location (country)

     Vendor’s rate
     Number and complexity of features

     Number of platforms (IOS, Android, web)

     Design complexity (basic, custom, use of animations)

    The above list requires some explanations, doesn’t it? Further on, you will find
    details on each and every point.

    Freelancers vs. App Development Agency

    There are two types of vendors that can create an app for you are freelancers
    and agencies.

    If you decide to work with freelancers to develop an app, you will receive the
    following advantages:

     Cheap app development

     Constant communication with the developer

    At the same time, weigh the risks:

     The need to find freelancers for all required functions

     Lower quality of services

     Limited accountability and transparency

     Team management on your side

     Additional paperwork

    On the difference, professional app development requires teamwork and people


    who are used to work on the same project.
    If your choice is to work with an app development company, you will enjoy
    so many benefits:

     Trustworthy relations

     Quality of deliverables

     All or the majority of needed services in one place

     Schedule and discipline

     Project management

     Accountability

    Disadvantages of working with companies that develop the apps:

     Higher rates

     More administration

    In spite of having to spend more money and deal with more paperwork, app
    development companies usually give a sense of security and confidence that is
    worth the price.

    App Developer’s Location


    The next major factor is location that can influence the cost of developing an app
    significantly. The most popular app development destinations worldwide are
    USA, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Asia (India).

    Eastern Europe, Ukraine in particular, will offer you an average cost for app
    development of $40. This region is very reasonable to work; you will get good
    quality, for a moderate app development price and do not pay much for a
    company’s brand.
    Simple Features vs. Complex Feature Set

    An app’s difficulty defines how much time you will need to build each feature and
    thus, how much it will cost. When it comes to the cost of developing an app,
    complexity matters. If you have limited budget think about prioritizing features to
    fit within that price range only. They are also more expensive, but the overall
    result and their performance make the cost useful.

    The core features that are generally used in many digital projects are as
    follows:

    1. User login/ registration

    2. Chat

    3. Search

    4. Push notifications

    5. Payments

    6. Analytics

    7. In-app purchases

    More complex implementation features are below:

    1. Geolocation

    2. Integrations

    3. Ads

    4. Offline mode

    5. Connectivity with a device

    6. Audio/video streaming
    7. Data encryption

    IOS platform and Android platform

    How much does it cost to develop an app for IOS or Android? Your choice of a
    platform also influences the cost of making an app. The main factor that
    determines whether you need to make an app for IOS or Android is the customer
    you would like to reach.

    There are some devices that run on IOS than on Android. A good market
    analysis will help you choose the better options. If you need to make an app for
    only one platform, there will be no difference in app cost, be it IOS or Android.

    Design Complexity

    App design influences the whole process of making an app. The more complex
    the design, the more costly your application becomes.

    Simple app design mainly consists of standard, platform-specific elements that


    are easy to implement and will not take much time. Adding custom function and
    animations increase design complexity and thus the app design cost.

    How Much Cost It Will Take To Maintain an App?

    Maintenance is very important for your application even if you have no new
    features on your plan; maintenance is more than just adding functionality and
    cannot be ignored in any case.

    App maintenance includes:


     Upgrading to the latest OS versions

     Upgrading an app to the new versions

     Upgrading an app with new technologies

     Fixing bugs

     Code improvement and optimization

     Adding new features

     Controlling app stability

     Controlling the performance of servers

     Scaling applications

    Conclusion

    In conclusion, it’s not so easy to answer the question of how much does it costs to

    develop or make an app because there’s a big range depending on your situation.

    There are a handful of options that depend on how much budget and time you have.

    The most expensive option is to enlist an app agency to create your app and the

    least expensive option is to learn how to code yourself.
