What factors affect the price of your app?

The cost of developing a mobile application depends on multiple variables. Understanding these factors will help you better define your project and optimize your investment.

UI/UX Design Complexity

A basic design with standard screens costs less than a custom interface with animations, micro-interactions, and a complete Design System. Design represents 15-25% of the total budget.

Required Features

Each feature adds complexity: social login, in-app payments, geolocation, real-time chat, segmented push notifications, or AI integration significantly increase the cost.

Backend & Database

An app with its own backend, custom API, and scalable database requires more development than one using services like Firebase or Supabase. Backend can represent 30-40% of the project.

Platforms (iOS, Android or both)

Developing for a single platform is more affordable. With cross-platform frameworks like React Native you can cover iOS and Android with just 20-30% extra cost.

Security & Compliance

Apps handling sensitive data (health, finance) require advanced encryption, 2FA authentication, and compliance with regulations like GDPR, which increases development costs.

Admin Panel

A basic CMS to manage content differs from an advanced dashboard with analytics, user management, content moderation, and integrated marketing tools.

Complexity is the key factor

A simple app with basic features requires less time and resources. An advanced application with artificial intelligence, augmented reality, or complex integrations requires a considerably larger budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about app development costs

We answer the most common questions about budgets, timelines, and the mobile app development process.

The cost of developing an app in 2026 ranges from €15,000 for a basic MVP to €120,000 or more for complex applications. The main factors determining the price are: feature complexity, platforms (iOS, Android or both), UI/UX design, third-party integrations, and required backend.

Our calculator has 85-90% accuracy, calibrated with data from over 30 real projects. The estimate INCLUDES: design, development, testing, and documentation. It does NOT INCLUDE: server costs, store publishing, or post-launch maintenance.

A basic MVP can be ready in 8-12 weeks. Medium complexity projects take 3-4 months, while more complex apps may require 5-6 months.

A native app is developed specifically for iOS (Swift) or Android (Kotlin), offering the best performance. A hybrid app (React Native, Flutter) uses a single codebase for both platforms, reducing costs by 30-40%.

Annual maintenance typically represents 15-25% of the initial development cost. For a €30,000 app, this means €4,500-€7,500 per year.

It depends on your target audience. With cross-platform frameworks like React Native, you can cover both platforms with just 20-30% extra cost compared to a single platform.
