How much does an app cost?

Meypi Developers · Updated on

How much an app costs depends on what it has to do: how many screens and users it has, whether it launches on iPhone and Android, which phone features it uses and which systems it connects to. At Meypi Developers, a software studio in the Barcelona metropolitan area, we build apps for businesses: this guide explains what drives the price and what happens after launch.

1. How much does it cost to build an app?

There is no single price: it comes from what the app has to do. An app with a few screens showing information has little in common with one that has user accounts, payments and a link to your company’s systems.

This guide explains what drives the price, what the quote includes, how long it takes and what happens after launch.

2. What does the price of an app depend on?

  • Screens and users.: Every screen is designed, built and tested. If both your customers and your team use it, each needs their own.
  • iPhone, Android or both.: We build apps for both. Launching on both from day one or starting with one changes the work and the testing.
  • Phone features.: Notifications, camera, location, payments, offline use or signing in with face or fingerprint: each one is built and tested on real phones.
  • Integrations.: Whether the app has to talk to your website, your management software or your online shop.
  • A management panel.: Whether your team needs a panel to publish content or see the app’s data.
  • Design.: An app made for your brand, screen by screen, rather than a template shared by many apps.

3. What does an app quote include?

It reaches you in writing and split into phases, with what is delivered in each one.

We publish the app in the stores under your company’s name.

4. How long does it take to build an app?

A first version, in a few months, depending on the scope. The plan in the quote sets what is delivered in each phase.

5. What does an app cost after launch?

New versions of iPhone and Android come out every year, and the app has to keep working on them. Maintenance covers those updates, bug fixes and the improvements you ask for.

On top of that, each store requires its own developer account, held in your company’s name.

6. Who owns the app?

Your company does, once the project has been paid for.

7. How do I ask for an app quote?

Tell us what you want to build, when you need it and your budget. It helps us look at your case if you tell us:

  • Who the app is for and what they need to be able to do with it.
  • Whether you need it for iPhone, Android or both.
  • Which phone features it needs.
  • Which website or systems it has to connect to.
  • Whether you already have a brand, a design or an app you use as a reference.

The form on this page lets you pick a rough budget range. We reply within 24 hours.
