App Development Cost Guide
Honest, transparent pricing information. Understand what actually drives the cost of building a mobile app before you start.
How I price projects
I provide fixed milestone-based quotes, not vague hourly estimates. Before any code is written, we agree on scope, deliverables, and payment milestones. You know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before we start.
There are no hidden charges, no billable hours for "meetings," and no surprise invoices. If scope changes after we start, we discuss it openly and adjust the quote accordingly.
What affects the cost?
Platform(s)
Android only is least expensive. Flutter for Android + iOS costs more but significantly less than building two separate native apps. iOS only sits in the middle.
UI Complexity
Simple, standard layouts cost less than custom animations, complex navigation, or branded design systems requiring pixel-perfect implementation.
Backend & APIs
An app with an existing REST API is cheaper than an app needing a brand-new database schema, authentication, file storage, and serverless functions.
Third-Party Integrations
Features like payment processing, map routing, in-app messaging, or complex push notifications add to development effort and timeline.
