by Amit Kumawat D Amies Technologies

Google Play Store offers you more than 3.5 million apps and counting. In this vast ocean of application, you have to make your app visible and it should perform outstandingly. But do you have an idea about how an app is created? If no, then you are at the right place.

Designing of any app can cost you roughly between $2000- $15000. Some of the best android app development companies can provide step to step payment procedure. The cost of the app is directly proportional to the complexity and time to be taken in the process.

Building an app needs time and money. There are several processes naming them as, back-end and front-end. These processes can further be bifurcated in several steps.

Design

Usually, people say that the app should be very user-friendly and to create a user-friendly app you need to design it very well i.e. the complex the design is greater the cost because it will take longer to work upon and time here is money.

According to the complexity of the design of an app can cost you between $3000-$20000 where we take the charge as $50 per hour.

Development

Let’s keep a constant rate of $50 per hour and take the discussion a bit higher. The developers make some serious effort in creating an app and need time for coding when the money is spent on an hourly basis the developer as well try to complete it fast.

Basic small app can take up to 300-600 hours and which will take the cost of your application $15000 dollars and if you need any better app the price will increase similarly.

Testing

It is a very important part of developing the app, where the 40% of the budget of the overall app is spent on testing. There are different types of testing like:

Functionality

Performance

Security

Network

Compatibility

Installation

Service

Either the app is working well on an emulator or not? How is the app holding up on a real device? All this work need time and money to be tested and worked.

Deployment

Deployment is the easy and cheap part where you can upload your app to Google Play Store with onetime payment of $25 and upload your application easily.

Maintenance and enhancement cost of an app

The maintenance and enhancement of the app are as important as the development and just on maintenance of the app people have to spend around 40% of the total cost of development.
