Mobile App Development Cost

 

Mobile app development cost is one of the main factors for any entrepreneur to consider when they start thinking about a new idea or product.

 

But, It is very difficult to answer for any Mobile app development company in Chennai . The cost of mobile app development varies based on the development company’s geographical location.




Most of the companies in a different part of the world decide the cost based on their defined hourly cost of the development.

 

The established mobile app development company has developed many varieties of mobile App, their hourly development cost would be much higher than a newly started mobile app development company.

 

At the initial stage, the mobile app development company gives a lot of discounts on their hourly rates and concentrates more on building their portfolio.



But, on average, even the newly setup mobile app development company costs anywhere between $10 to $20 per hour for the entire mobile app development life cycle.

 

The established mobile app development company can cost more than $50 per hour.

A simple mobile App may take anywhere between 300 to 400 hours per platform.

 

So, if you are looking for both Android and iOS – The App Development hours would be around 800 hours.



So, the cost may be around $800*10 = $8000 for a simple mobile App.

 

But, don’t forget the time it would take for the UI/UX, project management, Documentation, Backend Admin panel, API connection, QA. So, you may have to add another 500 hours to the least. 

 

That makes the total development hours 800+500 = 1300 hours. That raises the cost to $13000.

 

Generally, the mobile app development company has many experience levels of their developers. An experienced developer may complete a project in 1000 hours, whereas a little lesser experienced team may take around 1300 hours to complete the same project.

So, the hourly rates would again change based on the availability of the team at the moment of getting the project, the experienced team would cost more on hourly rate than the less experienced team.

 

Must-Have Features of Mobile Application:

 

The hour of development also increases based on the features need to be enabled on the App.

 

Feature like;

  • Authentication
  • Geo Location
  • Geo-Fencing
  • Video calling integration
  • Chat options
  • Payment gateway integration
  • Shipping partner integration

Etc

 

Mobile App development is not a single-time task, there are multiple updates needed once the product hits the market. So, you may have to get the mobile app development company engaged for the next 6 months to 1 year on its Support, maintenance, and updates. 

 

This may also need to be considered when considering the total costing. 

 

Similarly, a simple mobile app development cost varies rapidly based on multiple criteria Such as the platform build - Android or iOS or the type of environment its works in such as Hybrid or Native Application. Thus the cost of the application can’t be given as a fixed price.
