How much does it cost to build an app?

Silverlane

I was reading the topics here and came across a suggestion to build an app for a delivery business. I thought that's a good idea that will do well.

I also thought of that business a year ago, but never got into it and now that I read someone starting that kind of business, I would like to consider it again.

So, do you have any idea on how much will it take to have an app built? I suppose it's going to be a simple one like a 3 step process. Something like:
Step 1: Point of origin
Step 2: Destination
Step 3: item (or anything else)

I will appreciate any help

Hi there.

I don't know too much about building apps, but the cost obviously varies depending on how elaborate the app is. The more features/functions, and the more involved the design of it is, will obviously increase costs. Don't quote me, but I think even the most basic of apps will still run you around $15,000 to $20,000 (USD) or more. Again, I am no expert, but you can use this handy tool to estimate your projected costs: http://howmuchtomakeanapp.com/

Getting an app development company to build your app can cost from $10,000 to $60,000 for a small to medium sized app. The range is so big because it will really depend on the complexity of the app and number of screens.

You are right Ryan. The cost is totally dependent on the functionality the app has. This cost is varied when the app has less functions. calculate your mobile app cost with us and get the best idea to create your app.

It depends on the difficulty, but sometimes the price is set between 5000 - 10000 €

A good way to investigate how much an app might cost is to start by looking at some of the most popular mobile apps in the world. Even though there’s no public data on the actual costs of developing these apps, it is possible to estimate the costs of developing similar apps.

I depends on the nature of the application you are wanting. And also the platform.

To create a quality application, you need to pick a good team of developers. How many days will take work, how to create an application and how much it costs

In my opinion it is easier and cheaper to find ready-made software.

You're right. When my friend opened a rather specific narrow company. Namely care and mowing lawns. That was a long time looking for an application that would suit him. So he was advised to view the software for service organizations https://www.managemart.com/lawn-care, with which he can keep accounts, manage clients, schedule tasks and much more. Now, according to him, it is convenient for him to use the cloud ManageMart. Because he has access to the program from almost any device.

Hi there!

   It’s really been a difficult answer to roughly quote the cost to build an app. This reason behind was the functionality that you expect to build in your apps.

   If your app budget is too low then, no worries go with on-demand apps, these apps are prebuilt in nature although, readily available in the market and it will also reduce your app delivered waiting time. Hope you are going to get into the business, that's how you head up this question and if you are interested, reach us at SpotnRides!One of the top uber clone app developers, We provide white labeled uber clone app solution which takes you to the next level in the business

To get a firm quote for your app development, I suggest you to get in touch with an app development company. Based on how your application will work & the functionalities you want to incorporate, the company will provide your a proposal along with the time & cost estimation.

However, to keep your development cost low, you can consider getting in touch with an offshore development center.

Creating an app like Uber is a long term process for which one has to work from start to finish with utmost commitment at least till the releasing of a beta version

If you want to make an app like Uber, it is important for you to understand the main components of this system. 

The total price will be dependent on the resources and time span invested in the app.

will have two cost options:

• Hourly rate
• Complete Taxi App Solution rate.

Hourly rate varies for different places. For example, it is $100-$150 in the UK, while $40-$80 in Europe. But at Excellent WebWorld, we develop apps at $25 per hour.
