How Much Does it Cost To Make an App?

One of the first questions most people ask is how much it's going to cost to have an app developer team design, program, then publish an app to the mobile market?

Mobile development costs vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. The more that goes into it, the more it's going to cost you. While there are many things to consider when putting the details on your project together, below is a short list items to keep in mind first that should help you determine how complex your app will be.

• - How many markets will you have your app developed for? (Apple, Android, Windows, Web, etc)
• - How much of the app will use native features (GPS, camera, accelerometer, etc)
• - How many different devices will your app be targeted on (large screens, small screens)?
• - Who will sign and release the app (publishing) and keep it updated in the app stores?
• - How will you be promoting the app?
• - Will the app be free, paid, or both?

These are just some examples of what can define your app project and correlates directly into the cost of developing it.

Below are a few app development project scope examples that might help you budget your project accordingly.

Please keep in mind these are fictitious projects just to give you examples of pricing.
