How much does it cost to develop an iPhone app?
Many times we are asked how much we would charge for developing apps like X, Y or Z in the App Store. This is quite an immature question.
If you want to get a house built you don’t ask the builder how much it will cost in total. You might build a pre-fabric hut with no windows or doors or you might want to get a huge medieval castle. In the end, both are “houses” that you can live in.
Apps are similar. Think about the thousands of recipe apps. There is Jamie’s Recipes and there are a ton of little weekend projects listing static recipes content. Like any other software, development costs for mobile apps depend on how much time the developers spend on it, and how high quality it will be.
If you are gonna get an app developed by an agency or a freelancer, it is better to think about how much you can afford and check the hourly rates around. It all depends on your budget.
