Title: How Much Does It Cost To Build An App
1How Much Does ItCost To Build An App
2Introduction
- To estimate the cost to build an app, you have to
consider different factors. The price actually
depends on various factors which are required to
be successfully implementing an idea and also
includes talent, type of app as well as the
complexity of the project. - Lets look at the key factors.
31. App Development Team
- According to the requirement of the project, a
development team can consist of a project
manager, at least two developers, UI and UX
designer, as well as a quality assurance
engineer. In case the app requires a particular
backend infrastructure to develop an API, then a
backend developer is also required. - Read More About- How Much Does it Cost to Build

42. Technical Complexity of the App
- There can be a wide range of features which can
add to the technical complexity of any project.
Few of them are - a. Third-party Integrations
- Few functionalities of the app require
integration of different third-party frameworks,
libraries, and services. For instance, to
implement a payment feature in restaurant app
development, you can integrate services like
Stripe. It may also include implementation of
real-time chats with the assistance of different
APIs. Adding social media sharing functionality
into a particular app can be easily done through
APIs of Facebook, Twitter etc.
5Technical Complexity of the App
- b. Backend Development
- A backend is essentially an operating system
which provides APIs in order to enable the data
exchange between a database and mobile app. It
implements the business logic of the app. - c. Admin Panel Development
- An admin panel is quite a useful tool which
makes it quite easier to manage users, content
etc. and also operate apps. Finding a good and
flexible admin template can be quite tedious for
any mobile application development company.
6Technical Complexity of the App
- d. In-app purchases
- For additional functionalities to virtual goods,
they are different types of in-app purchases
which can be implemented. There is a great range
of tasks which can go into the entire
implementation of the in-app purchases, and hence
it can add complexity to the project,
technically. - e. Hardware Components Usage
- Modern smartphones generally come with various
hardware components like GPS, accelerometer, NFC,
barometers, Bluetooth etc. But the hardware set
can certainly vary from one device type to
another and also from one manufacturer to
another. Finding the right approach for every
device and testing how various hardware
components can essentially communicate with the
app can certainly increase development time and
costs.
73. Number of Operating System Devices
- When it comes to any iOS app, it needs to be
compatible with the recent and previous versions
of iPhone and also support the latest as well as
previous iOS versions. - But in the case of Android apps, the word looks
quite diverse. When you have to decide which
devices to support, then there are three major
factors which can essentially influence your
decision. The size of the market share of a
particular Android device manufacturer, the
devices which are specific to a particular market
and the preferences of customers. - Also, more devices mean that mobile app
development services have to spend a lot of time
in adapting their app for different screen sizes,
hardware specifications, resolutions as well as
testing.
8Cost of Development of an App
- On an average, you can hire app developers for
nearly 10 to 100 per hour. The total cost of
the app will depend on the total numbers of hours
required to develop the app and the cost of
hiring these app developers. In most cases, a
typical simple app can cost from 10,000 to
25,000. In the case of iOS apps, the rate can be
higher. For more complex apps, the price can
range anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000.
