App creation cost

is connected with the integration of features like social media login, active directory integration, navigation, dash board, collect analytics, gallery, screens, second language, document library, Windows Intune MDM and many more.

Cost of making an app also depends on the size and reputation of the agencies or companies where it is developed. An app designed and created by a big and reputed company costs approximately $500,000 to $1,000,000. Whereas, mobile app developed in an agency is priced around $150,000 to $450,000. And a mobile app designed by a start up or small company carries a lower price tag of around $50,000 to $100,000. However, the cost of smartphones and tablet apps that have complex user interface is priced between $250,000 and $1,500,000.

Moreover,

cost of developing an app

is also influenced by the type of the operating system for which it is developed. App development for iOS operating system takes more time and dedication compared to apps developed for other operating systems. Therefore the cost of iOS apps is high and so is the app development for Windows operating system. The cost of app development also varies when it is developed for multiple platforms. Some apps are compatible both for iOS and Android platform. The budget for this type of app development is estimated earlier in the planning phase.
Given below is the cost estimation of mobile apps for different types of projects:
  • Simple and table based app - $1,000 - 4,000
  • Database App (native) - $8,000 - $50,000
  • Games - $10,000 - $250,000

  • Game Center - $1,000
  • Share Capabilities - $500-$1,500
  • SDKs and like Chartboost - $50-$200
Having mentioned all the factors that influence app development cost, it is all important to state that the cost of app development doesn’t ends here.
