mobile app cost

What does a mobile app cost seems to be the question on everyone’s lips these days, and if you follow the Knoxweb Blog, you will know that there are several factors that need to be considered before you can determine a firm price for your mobile app.

In this blog, Knoxweb is going to break down the stages of mobile app cost and development including the planning, designing, and the engineering. Knoxweb will also discuss the app infrastructure the administration of the app along with the Q/A costs and what the cost will be to launch your new mobile app in the app stores.

Knoxweb will have a detailed plan for every step of the process, defining the costs, and how long each step will actually take. Although this extends the timeline of the project, there is benefit when you plan every step of your app. However, at the end of your project you will have records that will tell you how long each step took. This will make it easy to improve the design and the development process if you decide to build another mobile app.

Hourly VS Fixed Mobile App Cost

Depending on the mobile app strategy that you use, a fixed fee may be more suitable, especially if you are building a complicated app that takes more time. During the planning stages of your mobile app, you and the app developers can agree on a price for the designing and planning and another fee for the actual development and build.

Knoxweb recommends that you plan carefully and take into consideration the future of your app. After you release you will need mobile app updates, which could run anywhere between $75.00 and $100.00 an hour. Make sure that you discuss future costs with your web development team.

If you are planning a simple app, an hourly rate may be the way to go, but just remember to iron out all of the details with the web design company that you choose to avoid any nasty surprises when it comes time to pay your invoice.

Developer Classifications

There are several different classifications of web developers ranging from independent contractors to the elite class. Depending on what class of web developer you use, it could run you anywhere between $75.00 to $800.00 an hour.

The best mobile app development company will have the right tracking software in place allowing you to track your progress including how much time it takes for each stage.

Although some businesses and organizations may have to pay more with an hourly rate, the quality is generally higher as it helps encourage the developer to work at a diligent pace. With a fixed price, some developers use shortcuts because the rate stays the same.

In the next Knoxweb Blog, the team will discuss affordable mobile app builder alternatives that you can use. Much like those DIY websites where you work with a small team that is familiar with the mobile app basics, you can have your new mobile app running in just a few days.
