App Development Cost Calculator
2

• An app development cost calculator works by
  gathering information about the specific
  requirements and desired features of an app, then
  using that information to estimate the cost of
  development. The calculator typically asks for
  input on factors such as
• Platform The choice between developing for iOS,
  Android, or both platforms.
• Design The level of design and user experience
  (UX) required for the app.
• Features The complexity of the features and
  functionalities desired for the app.
• Timeline The timeline for the app development
  project.
• Team size The size of the team required for the
  project, including both development and design
  resources.

Factors driving the app development cost
4

• Mode of App operation offline or Online App

It is important to decide what sort of app you
want to design. Do you want the wheels of your
app to be the internet or do you want your app to
benefit your customers even if the customer is
unable to browse the internet (Offline App)? The
above two questions play a vital role while
deciding the mobile app development cost. Several
other loops, features and important decisions are
linked to the mode of operation you will be
moving ahead with. Supporting offline app usage
will also increase the app making cost.
Native Vs cross-platform App (Flutter, react
native)
As the mobile application has two well known
segregated users. One being the iOS lovers and
another the Android explorers. To develop both
applications, you need to tell the app cost
calculator the development method you want to
proceed with. Do you want to have one basic
single base code for both the devices or you
dont want to compromise on the speed and
efficiency and hence you want to create two
different base codes for both Android and iOS?
Native applications will generally cost more but
come with a lot of benefits in terms of higher
App performance, App Scalability, and App
integration with different services and third
party APIs.

Preferred App UI
Irrespective of a great backend, if the eyeballs
are not stuck on the visual of the app, then your
app is definitely not a success story to be
heard. A great UI connects the users from your
application which results in a great engagement.
If you have ever used an App development cost
calculator, you must have come across a question
which asks what sort of UI/UX you want to keep.
Some applications like to keep it basic, some
applications add their own style frame and some
applications prefer animation. The more
customization and animations are included in the
user interface, the more will be the cost of the
application.
App Localization
After having a fair idea of how your market
looks, you must have decided on App
geo-localization, correct? Do you remember a
recent ad from Amazon that says Now adding
carts is easy because you can now choose your own
language to browse various stocks on Amazon? This
was done to convert more users into customers. As
a brand, if you give the native language
importance, your user base will definitely spike
up. And considering the various languages in
mind, you will be needing relevant customer
support. If you develop the app in a modular way
that considers the number of domains and
languages you want to opt-in then
the localization will add a bit more cost into
your cost of app development.

The total number of the App screens
Number of unique App screens'' can have a lot of
effect in determining the app development costs,
even though they dont show much technical
features or functionality but only some
information or output of a users input, the more
unique screens you add the more app development
costs that would attract. The more screens the
app includes the more design, prototype,
wireframing and development effort it requires
and hence the app cost. Many screens will take
longer both to design and to develop, and thus
will cost more.
App Security incorporated
We can bring home the comfort or get the job done
with just a finger tap. This ease also brings the
threat. Hacking of the secured data of an App is
often attempted by certain App hackers, hence to
keep the crucial information confidential the
security software has to strengthen the walls by
going a little extra mile. The cost of securing
the data varies on the security issues that one
is willing to fix. If you dont want to
compromise on data security then probably you
will opt-in for rigid security software that will
add on more bucks into your app making cost.
7
The backend of the App (Apps processing unit,
precisely)
Without a rigid and strong backend an app cannot
do well. With so much personal information that a
user shares with the application, it is really a
tough task to keep it secure and encrypted. Here
is where a cloud-based server shows its
importance. The developers have to play
cautiously while integrating an API in the app
because, without a proper API integration, the
app functionality might block and wont even work
irrespective of your several attempts. Hence a
stable and strong backend holds the whole magic
of functionality.
Third-party integrations with the App (Web
services, Devices, IoT)
Sometimes you want the app to browse other tools
or applications for unlocking certain
functionality. For example for simplifying the
process of sign-up, you allow the app to continue
using a google account or Facebook account, in
case you need to integrate the app with a third
party. The integration takes a long time to
function appropriately, hence the more
third-party application integrations are
included, the longer will be the app development
process and more will be the average app
development cost.
