What is the Cost ofDeveloping a Mobile App?

In the digital age, mobile app development for businesses of all sizes is nearly a must have rather than an option. The latest MYTEK Whitepaper titled “What is the Cost of Developing a Mobile App” provides a baseline understanding of the parameters that influence that cost.

While the reasons for development can range from customer visibility and direct marketing channel creation to customer engagement and beyond, mobile apps require a strong conceptual foundation, good planning, an excellent ecosystem and top-notch talent in both the design and engineering phases.

Due to a highly fragmented mobile app development industry costs can range from as low as $15,000 to $500,000 to develop the first version of an app. More complex mobile apps that have a complex user interface, or that require a significant backend can cost anywhere from $250,000 to $1,500,000.

Since specific costs come down to the specific feature set of the app, it’s imperative to have a sound idea of the main cost factors that drive

mobile app development to begin the dialogue about a mobile app development strategy.

Generally, there are more than a dozen major factors that contribute to the costs of mobile app development ranging from Choice of App Platforms and Environment, number of screens and complexity to Third Party API Integration and Support for Multiple Mobile Screen Resolutions.

While the result of mobile app development can be a simple or highly complex app in terms of its functionality, there are still many cost components that will make up the overall project. They range from the planning, scope, UX design phase to functionality, infrastructure, testing and deployment.
