Thread: How much does it cost to build mobile app?

How much does it cost to build mobile app? What examples can you share?

Good day I can not say how much it costs exactly, but you can find out the approximate cost calculation in the app development agency. Pricing for mobile applications depends on the complexity and belonging to the platform. The only thing I advise is to order cross-platform applications.

Here’s a break out of typical development costs for different example projects.


Simple, table based app ($1,000-4,000)


you provide all the content, clear direction, and example apps of what you want it to do. If you know your way around Photoshop, you can probably supply the graphics which will cap this project at $1,500. The additional costs are when you want to GPS locators, Social media integration or bells and whistles like that


Database App (native) ($8,000-$50,000)


Again, you provide every piece of content, image, writing, sound, etc. The cost is going to come from creating the logic within the app and architecting all the usability and/or game play. The content will usually be dropped in and then parsed accordingly. These projects tend to be front heavy since the data is what’s driving the entire game and the framework is so important.


Games – ($10,000-$250,000)


The hardest to ballpark. As a benchmark – I’ve heard Angry Birds cost anywhere from $125K-$180K to develop (although they were pioneers). Talking to some developers who are into the hardcore game source code (render, sound, maths, physics, etc), many of the racing games will that use the gyroscope will be $125,000 without even blinking – and that’s just for the code.

Thanks for the info. But I think you may start easily with $5.000 as one-man project.

Hi bro. It depends on what mobile app you need. For example if you need app that works on c# using Visual Studio than you can just order app on AssignCode and it`ll be done with excellence in every technical task. So good luck in your search!
