The complexity of the application

• The basic factor that contributes to the
  maintenance cost of the application in 2023 is
  the complexity of the application. Everyone wants
  to have advanced apps with more and more
  features, screens, and much more. But keep in
  mind that if you are adding these it will further
  raise your maintenance costs to the greatest
  extent. Adding more to it, the maintenance costs
  will also rise with the involvement of higher
  technology or framework for its development.

Hybrid Applications 

• The smartphones available in the market depend
  upon different operating systems. Everyone loves
  to have the one that they prefer the most.
  Android and iOS platforms are the two leading
  operating systems that the majority of users
  prefer to have on. Do you know what is the basic
  factor that lies behind the success of an
  application well its usage? The majority of the
  time developers prefer to create hybrid
  applications that can work effectively on both
  Android and iOS operating systems. But if you
  have created such, just keep in mind that the
  maintenance costs are also going to be quite
  higher than that of the maintenance costs of the
  same application for both of the platforms.

Third-Party Integrations
The integration of third-party sources also adds
up in raising the overall maintenance cost of an
application. More will be your app linked closely
with the different external sources such as
payment platforms, social media services, higher
will be the overall maintenance cost of your app.
Lets make it simpler for you, the maintenance
cost of a simple photo editing app is usually
quite lower than that of the news app.

App Development Team Location
The maintenance cost of an application also
differs a lot as per the location. You may need
to pay the maintenance cost of about 50-150 per
hour in the USA but it may somewhere lie in
between 25-60 per hour in Eastern and Central
Europe. Whereas if we talk about the maintenance
cost of the application in India it is quite low
and you can easily accomplish it by paying 10-30
per hour.

SUMMARY

• Application development and maintenance is a
  never-ending process. Right from adding updates
  to resolving issues, there are a lot more things
  that go on side by side throughout. The expenses
  on an app do not end with its creation, they kind
  of keep on but for only the good. The App is the
  core part of your business, you cant leave it
  unattended and there is where Agicent comes into
  the play. Start maintaining your App as necessity
  before it becomes mandatory!
