In the current scenario, Mobile apps have become so important and can help you grow your existing business or launch a new one.

How much does it cost to develop a mobile app? This question is among the first ones that are being asked when any app development project begins. Mobile App development cost estimate is what sits at the very bottom of any mobile app development budget. Quite often a company owner finds himself trying to answer a certain question – how much does it cost to make an app for my business, what are the key stages of app  development.

The cost of making mobile app can vary depending on app features and its complexities.

While some apps could take $15000 – $35000 to develop, while others might cost more than this. On the other hand, mobile app development cost could be about $5,000 or less, but don’t expect the same amount in case of adding additional features in the app.

An effective mobile app development team should include:

A Designer: Who creates all the visual content for an app that will be coded into the project.

Account Manager: Who acts as a mediator  for clients and works with product managers and producers to coordinate the completion of a different task in developing an app.

Product manager: Who executes the essential functions of a director by seeing all the functionalities of an app.

Mobile App Developers: Experienced in optimizing products for the requirements of iPhone and Android devices.

You’ve got a great idea for an app, and you’re ready to move on to the development stage.

Curious to know as to how much does it cost?

Confused…….Where to start with?

We are here to help you with all the necessary information for developing a mobile app.

First, identify the need for the app and the problems being solved after its development. Examine every aspect of the app you’re looking to create. If you’re going to reach out to a developer, you should have a very clear idea of why you need an app, how it will solve your business problems, how will it work for you. Is your app going to be available on iOS and Android? It all depends on the nature of the business and your target audience.

Android app development cost is usually less as compared to iOS app development

Does your app include features like the shopping cart or a place to login? If you have all of these answers already in place, you can save your valuable time and app development cost when you reach out to the developer.

There are a lot of factors that involve pricing of your mobile apps development. All Minor details should be carefully considered because, they may seem small, but they must be carefully implemented into your app.

A good reason to work with a team of professional developers is that you can take the time to meet with them and explain what exactly you are looking for in the mobile app.

Since they will be working closely with you throughout the development process, you know your app is much more likely to turn out exactly as you thought about. This way, your app will be of high quality, attractive and unique that can easily draw attention to your business.

Still Confused if it is worth?

Here are few stats that will help you understand the benefits of app development and will make effective solutions for your business:

• Cost per Install
• Customer Acquisition Cost
• Average Revenue per User (ARPU)
• Retention Rate
• Return on Investment (ROI)

If you expect a high ROI (return on investment), you must develop apps that make you money, it’s worth spending a little more than you initially thought to make sure your app stands out.

If you’re still not sure why the process is so costly.  So let’s get into the actual development, shall we?

Designing:

The design team is the one that brings your idea into reality. They set up how the app will appear to its user. They prepare the kind of structure you want, what colour scheme, text fonts, the shape of the buttons in the app, the size of the search bar and so on should be like.

The prototype might look black and white version of your app but, after the design team works on it based on your instructions and transform it into a neat, colourful and engaging interface.

Prototyping:

After Designing the first thing a developer works on is a prototype. It gives an idea of what the final app will look like and how it will work. This stage takes some time but its worth it. Prototyping starts with conceptualizing and drawing what the display will be like and you can make changes before developing the final product. It makes sure that everything will work as expected.

You can even use this prototype as a test among a sample of your target audience and then get their feedback. By making the most of this prototype stage, you can be sure to get good value for your investment and it also helps in building your app efficiently and effectively.

Examine  the Prototype:

Once the prototype has been examined, and feedback has been received by the owner, the changes can now be implemented into the design. This process can go through a couple of stages. Every app developer wants to make sure that the result is precisely what their customer is looking for. So, don’t be afraid to communicate with your developer to make changes in the app’s design, even if it takes a few rounds to get it right. You’re investing your time and money, so make sure you’re happy with the result. Your satisfaction is what matters the most.

Development:

When you’re happy with it, the developer fills in the rest of the blanks so that your app works smoothly. They carefully program the app with coding that is reliable and tested. They integrate the services that you requested, whether you wanted a social media login page, payment gateway, an online shopping cart.

In the entire process, the app will be tested side by side to make sure there are no bugs that might hinder your app’s performance or cause it to crash. It would be a complete waste to invest all that time and money into an app that winds up crashing right after your launch.

Between the amount of work put into the project and the total number of hours worked, you can clearly see why the cost of mobile app development can be so high.

Congrats on the new App!

Now finally your product is ready for launch in market and you’re happy with the result. We know it feels great when your idea is transformed into reality and will be used by the million users. Now you can reach out to all of your network and your target audience to make sure your app gets noticed. You can also run app awareness programs or advertise it to increase its use.
