How Much Does It Cost To Make An App
ROOTSTRAP – Aug 10 – You should expect to spend anywhere from $50k to $250k on an "average" mobile app. Apps with a large feature set or that include a lot of back-end technology can easily run anywhere from $250K to more than $1M. Any kind of communication between users, login system, or external data storage requires a system of servers to support the app. This is a much more expensive proposition. Functions that require API integration, like social logins or social media sharing, further drive up costs. Paying $10/hour for a professional app developer is asking for trouble. There's just no way to trust the quality of the software. You might be saving money initially, but you'll be condemning yourself to deal with bugs, crashes, and dissatisfied users for the rest of the life of your business. Finally, it's important to recognize that building an app isn't just a one-time cost. In addition to building your app, you'll need to maintain it which is usually 20% of the initial development investment.
