How much it costs to develop an app!

 

We believe that you have two specific questions you want answered: What does an app cost – and what determines the price point? In this article, we will do our best to answer both of those questions and more.

 

How much does an app cost?

An application usually costs between $3,000 and $50,000. An app with a normal complexity level that takes 16 weeks to develop usually costs around USD 15,000. Factors that affect the price include, among other things, your choice of developer and whether you want a variable or a fixed price.

3 factors that determine the price point

1.   Your priorities

You can focus on getting an app that works well, a fast delivery or a low price point. But at the same time, you can only pick 1 or 2 things out of 3. That is a well known fact in the app development industry. It is worth noting that there are many app developers that offer cheap apps, but with low quality and a way too long delivery time.

 

2.   If you want a fixed or variable price point

Ordering an application at a fixed price point is usually the best way to go. With a fixed price point, you’ll know that you’ll get all the features you paid for regardless of what happens in the development phase.

 

But you should also keep in mind that most developers charge a slightly higher fee when you request a quote (firm price point). Mainly because they must safeguard against any errors that may occur.

When you choose to have a variable price, you’ll usually get (if all goes well) a cheap application, but at the same time you´ll pay more if any problems manifest along the development phase.

Simple applications with low complexity are usually best suited for a project with a variable price point, all the while you should pick a firm price point when ordering more complex apps.

 

3.   Which developer you’ll hire

It is usually cheapest to hire asian app developers, while app developers from countries in the west are usually slightly more expensive.
