Price to Develop a Mobile App

#2 models that you can choose from to build the app:

1. Agile

A full time effort by a single resource will cost $4,500 per month. Now depending on the requirements, how fast they can be implemented and how many such resources will be alloted to finish the work within the stipulated time, the final cost will be furnished.

Example #1: $4,500 (USD) per month where the estimate of product completion by 1 resource in a span of 12 months

Example #2: $9000 (USD) per month where estimate of product completion by 2 resources in a span of 6 months

2. Waterfall

- Phase 1: Preparation of SRS + Prototypes. (3 months) - $15,000 (USD)

- Phase 2: Development & Implementation. (Time & cost will be fixed after the completion of Phase 1)

- Phase 3: Testing & Deployment (2 months) - $10,000 (USD)

- Phase 4: Training & Maintenance. (2 month) - $9,000 (USD)

#App Development for Start-ups with Limited Funds

From business requirements perspective, document everything you ideally want in your app. This mean complete the requirements document. so that we have a clear action path to take.
Now, fetch the most basic requirements that you desire to create MVP (minimum viable product) from the final document. This step is necessary because it will give the developing company a path to follow to keep on progressing beyond MVP. Otherwise the app code may have to be re-written to allow the new requirements to be implemented and this will become a very expensive proposition. (We will work with you to asses the requirements for MVP)
Side-by-side to the above, finalize the Budget for MVP that you can invest on monthly basis (to make it easy for you).
Keep your focus on ROI while identifying or selecting requirements for the MVP. This is so that you start to make more (extra) money/revenue (than currently) using the MVP and using this extra money you can fund the next stages of the app.
