Why Is Mobile App Development Still So Expensive

There are two kinds of wannabe Entrepreneurs – first, there are those who decide whether to execute their idea depending on the cost of development of the type of product and secondly there are those who put the product ahead of everything else. If for some reason you are with the later one, you are definitely on the right part of Entrepreneurship. I am gonna take a stab in the dark & assume that you are an aspiring mobile start-up founder who ‘has a great idea for the app’ but no actual skill in programming. However, the problem is that you still need a mobile app for your business. Based on information collected from several sources, the main point is a high price for app development. Here are some areas which tend to cost you a much greater value when it comes to app mobile app development: 1)Complex Business Logic: Complexity of a mobile app varies from business to business based on the depth of the problem. The depth of the problem decides the amount you need to pay to make your grand idea come true. 2)Which Platform are you using: Another prime factor that determines the cost is the complexity of the platform. The more platforms you are willing to cover, greater will be the cost. Be prepared for full maintenance budget. 3)Backend cost: Having a backend also increases the costs significantly because for that you need a separate resource added to the project, which will maintain the project from start to finish. 4)CMS: Taking backend to one step further comes the CMS system. This is the continuation to the backend system. However, with CMS your mobile app development cost will drastically increase. Unfortunately, the cost of CMS is much greater than it seems on the board. For this reason going with the CMS, it is necessary to know the hidden costs that come along with the CSM management system. 5)App distribution: The way which you will distribute your app will surely have some effect on your price. Because App Store, Google Store, and Windows Store have different price formation. For the same reason, it is important for the developer to understand whether targeting a particular store rather than the other might require changes in pricing strategy which will affect the success of the company. 6)Social Options: Social media buttons is an old trend in sharing, but adding them to your app will cost some value. It is true that some social platforms provide the facility of sharing options for free, but for additional options, you need to add value. 7)3rd party integration: If you want your app to reach on higher grounds you need to access the 3rd party apps. These apps will cost you some money. However, once you realize that this cost is nothing when compared to the amount of traffic they will bring you will be happy to add this cost into your budget. 8)Maintenance, support & updates: No matter how great your app is, you still need to take some budget for maintenance. This will extend the life of your app. App store is a pretty competitive market, and if for instance, a bad word of mouth reaches the market it will be difficult to cover it up. You need to involve a team of dedicated mobile app developers or hire a professional NYC app development company to take care of your mobile app updates. Mobile app developers frequently undermine the time & effort required to build an app. This is usually because a lot of mobile app developers tend to be relatively inexperienced. Many people can learn how to created an app on mobile, but only a few go deep down & understand the usability factor of the mobile app. If a mobile app developer knows the usability factor, it gets so easy to estimate the cost of mobile app development. However, you can always learn in a months time what are the trends & what apps are doing great in the market. With that in mind start learning the core of development & go for it. My mom can sew, but she does not like to. She hates when people find out because they always ask her to mend or alter their clothes. Sometimes they offer to pay, but she says she can't accept money from friends. However, one thing she cants bear is when people complain her about the high price she charges for just a simple hem. To that, she replies ‘If it is that simple, do it yourself.” Moral of the story is, programming is complicated, so does mobile app development. However, some agencies giving professional web design solutions and charging well for it. People do not mind giving them high price because they are doing good work.
