Ah, the age-old question: how much does an app cost?
This is a “how long is a string” kind of question however, this blog is desigend to help you navigatie potential cost factors and maximizing your budget.
Flutter: Your Cost-Conscious Champion
Let’s be honest, traditional app development (building separate apps for iOS and Android) can be a financial disaster the cost is almost twice as high. Enter Flutter.dev, the knight in shining armor! By using a single codebase, Flutter streamlines development, saving you precious time and, yes, money. We estimate savings of 50-90% compared to native development, potentially translating to thousands of dollars back in your pocket.
But Remember, Extras Add Up:
While Flutter is fantastic, its magic doesn’t eliminate all cost factors. Here are some potential curveballs that might affect your app’s price tag:
-
- Complexity Reigns Supreme: Feature-rich apps with intricate functionalities like complex animations, real-time data connections, complex data structures, or offline capabilities naturally require more development effort, impacting cost.
- Social Login Integration: Adding logins via Facebook, Google, etc., is convenient for users, but can involve marginal additional development and API fees.
- Advanced Payment Gateways: Integrating advanced payment options like Apple Pay or custom in-app purchases takes extra time and expertise, affecting the cost.
- Number of Screens: each screen ads an incremental cost to your app.
