How much does it cost to build an app?
So how much does it cost to build an app? Unfortunately, there is no straight answer because every app is different and it's difficult to compare or generalise.
For example, there are no-code app builders that appear a lot cheaper but have limited functionality and flexibility, are unlikely to get approved by the app stores, you may end up paying large license fees and you don't own the code or IP. On the other hand, sometimes our clients are surprised about how cheap our quotes are, especially since we're using FlutterFlow or have built similar apps before to reduce cost and time-to-market.
💡 Note on Pricing
There are several types of apps that we are frequently asked to quote on or build. Whilst every app has to be quoted individually, here are some of the most common types of apps with their requirements and approximate costs. But it's better to get in touch today to get a quote tailored to your requirements.
