How much does mobile app development cost 

Mobile app price: iOS, Android or cross-platform. What drives the cost and how much to budget.

A mobile app is one of the most expensive development categories — it's a full product with a backend, design and store publishing. But cross-platform makes the start noticeably cheaper.

Price range

An MVP on cross-platform (one codebase for iOS and Android) — $8,000–20,000. A full app with a backend and integrations — $20,000–60,000. Separate native iOS+Android costs more.

How to save without losing quality

Start with an MVP: one platform or cross-platform, the key features, real users. It's cheaper, faster and shows what works before big investment.
