What a mobile app costs to build — and to keep running

App quotes usually cover the app. The budget that actually matters also covers the backend it talks to, the store lifecycle, and the OS updates that arrive every autumn whether you planned for them or not.

Résultats

  • A realistic total, not just the build
  • Clear platform trade-off in money terms
  • Maintenance budgeted before launch
  • An indicative estimate in minutes

Pricing

Cas d'usage

Single-platform business app

Forms, sync and one integration — €35,000 to €70,000.

Cross-platform customer app

Accounts, payments, notifications — €60,000 to €140,000.

Field operations suite

Offline, hardware, dispatch and backend — €120,000 upwards.

Ce que nous livrons

  • Platforms: two native apps instead of one adds 40 to 70 percent
  • Offline behaviour: sync and conflict resolution is real engineering
  • Hardware: scanning, BLE and background location add integration cost
  • Backend: often half of a mobile budget
  • Store lifecycle: submission, review and OS updates every year

Realistic timeline

Discovery

1–2 weeks including field observation for operational apps.

Build

6–12 weeks with test builds on real devices throughout.

Release

2–4 weeks for store review, pilot and fixes from real use.

What moves the price

Platform count

iOS and Android from one codebase is far cheaper than two native builds; a back office is a third surface.

Offline capability

Full offline editing with conflict resolution is one of the largest line items in field apps.

Device features

Scanning, BLE, background location and camera pipelines each add integration and device testing.

Backend requirement

An app against an existing API is much cheaper than one needing a new backend built alongside it.

Store and release overhead

Account setup, review responses and phased rollout are a real, recurring cost.

Where projects go wrong

Forgetting year two

OS updates force yearly maintenance whether or not you add features. Budget for it.

Scope hidden in the back office

The admin side of an app is often as large as the app itself and gets left out of early estimates.

FAQ

Questions fréquentes

Is cross-platform cheaper?+

For form-driven business apps, usually yes — one codebase, one QA cycle. Heavy device use can erase the saving.

What does maintenance cost?+

Budget 15 to 20 percent of build cost annually just to stay current with OS and store requirements.
