How much does it cost to develop a mobile app?

What determines the cost

• Number of screens and features.
• Platforms: iOS, Android or both.
• User accounts, payments and notifications.
• Connection with your website, ERP or external services.
• Custom interface design.
• Admin panel and ongoing maintenance.

How to reduce the risk

Launch a minimum viable product (MVP) with the essential features, measure how it is used and then invest in what works. You avoid spending months on features nobody uses.

Additional costs

Apple developer account (about 99 $/year) and Google (a one-off payment of around 25 $), servers, maintenance and updates when new iOS and Android versions are released.

App or website?

If your users will use it every day or you need phone features, an app makes sense. To attract new customers, a well-ranked website usually comes first.
