How Much Does It Cost to Make an App in 2020?
By Cleveroad https://www.cleveroad.com
The software cost estimation is always a tricky thing. As we have pointed out multiple times: there are too many factors influencing the
final price. This concerns both mobile and website development costs — the exact price cannot be calculated without well-defined site’s
functionality and business objectives.
For instance, our business analysts can ask you dozens of clarifying questions about authorization. They define whether it'll take 10 or
100 hours to meet the requested requirements.
Still, an average website cost can be figured out based on our web development expertise. Bear in mind that such estimations won't be
accurate. They’re created for informational purposes only and shouldn’t be treated as the final price. So, how much does a website
creation cost? Let’s find this out.
What Affects Mobile Application Costs?
When you set out to develop an app, you cannot expect your
software development company to inform you about the app
development cost estimate right off the bat. There is no rate list
for the applications' development and everything depends on
various factors. Surely before you will be sent a bill, the team of
developers will estimate how many hours were required to
implement your specifications. Still, the most significant factors
influencing average app development cost are:
Features and functionality
Customization of visual design
Platforms
Backend infrastructure and app administration
Location and structure of a development team
App maintenance costs
let’s find out who are the members of the development team.
Business Analyst
If you work with an outsourcing agency, business analysis is an essential step to identify tech and business requirements before proceeding with development costs.
A Business Analyst is a person responsible for the following:
Gathering requirements
Identifying tech and business problems
Analyzing competitors
Defining project value
Writing project specification
All this is a frame of the planning phase. Thorough planning is key to avoiding costly changes to the scope and misunderstandings during the development.
In other words, the work of Business Analysts influences the cost of developing an app.
UI/UX designer
Beautiful design is everything to users these days. And it’s barely possible to build a great product without an experienced designer who’d offer UI/UX design services.
The designer’s responsibilities include:
Analysis of similar applications
Analysis of user preferences and pains
Creation of wireframes
Creation of final design
So, you should also include rates of UI/UX designers in the mobile app development cost breakdown.
Mobile app engineer
Depending on what platforms you’re going to release the app on, you’ll need from one to several iOS and/or Android developers. Their main task is to build and publish the application considering all the tech and business
peculiarities described in the specification.
QA engineer
Quality Assurance engineers check the application’s stability performing regression, load, smoke, and other types of tests. They also check the UI and other app components for compliance with the specification.
Project Manager
Project Managers coordinate the work of the entire team and make sure the product will be ready in time and comply with all the requirements. In turn, the right management approach has a great impact on mobile
application development costs.

How Much Does an App Cost to Create: Time and Money Issues
To answer this question we need to know that not all mobile apps are equal. And the inequality is not only in the platform that it is developed for. The lowdown of iOS
application development as well as an Android one is counted with the time needed to implement certain app features. So let's create a classification based on the
moderate time needs.
A basic app an application with simple functionality that requires approximately 500-700 hours on development.
A medium complexity app takes from 700 to 1000 hours.
A complex time-consuming app in most cases exceeds 1200 hours on development.
