The first question which comes to a business ownerβs mind, as soon as he decides to hire a mobile app development company, is how much will it cost to make the App? Now, there is no particular answer to this question as the cost of creating an app depends on several factors. Therefore, we have decided to compile a list of factors that influence the cost of a mobile application.
Type of Application
What type of application do you want? Is it a react native application or a hybrid application? The cost of developing a hybrid App is comparatively low to a native App as a single code will work for all the platforms. However, it will lack a couple of features as fewer customization options are available for developing a hybrid app.
Category of The Application
The category is another major factor that influences the development cost of an app. For instance, a shopping portal will have high-end database connectivity, access to the userβs camera, voice recognition system, payment gateway, and therefore its development cost will be high. On the other hand, a simple mobile application that relies on the smartphoneβs firmware, such as a camera with customized filters, will cost less.
Application Features
What features are you looking forward to integrating into your application? Do you want database connectivity or a payment system or access to the userβs hardware? Maybe you are looking forward to launching a game that embeds technologies such as Virtual and Augmented Reality. With an increase in the requirement of advanced and customized features, the cost will increase as well.
Security Provided By The Application
Will your app have a user login system? If yes, then you need to make sure that the userβs data is secured. To do so, an integration of a user authentication/authorization system is necessary. The cost of developing a non-secure application is significantly low than an app integrating a security system.
Third-Party App Integration
Let us say, an e-commerce app with a secured payment option is the idea of your application. Now, rather than developing a dedicated payment gateway from scratch, it is better to integrate third-party payment gateways that are already being used worldwide and are secure. However, this integration will also increase the development cost of your application.
Conclusion
Thereβs no fixed price tag for the development process of an application. However, let our experts generate a customized quote by analyzing your business requirements.
