The company wants to do a cell phone app software, about how much it costs?

With the popularity of smart phones, the development of mobile APP has become a boom. APP application has successfully penetrated into every bit of our life, go out, shopping, takeaway, transfer, information and so on, without exception. And the need to develop APP enterprises, are very concerned about a problem is: the development of an APP in the end how much money is needed?

Since I've been doing this for some years, I've encountered a lot of customers who come up and ask: How much do I need to do a Taobao? I want to do a Tmall how much money? I want to do a drop how much?

The customer is God. Although I am very speechless, but still will not tire of explaining over and over again, until

For these cases, the following I detailed.

One, APP complexity: the more complex the higher the cost

Development of APP is like building a building, the higher the floor, the more construction workers are needed, the longer the construction time will be, the building materials will be correspondingly more, the construction cost will naturally increase. The development of APP is the same, if there are many functions, or some functions are complex, the corresponding development time will increase, the cost will naturally rise. Some customers may think that the APP is a price, but the formal APP custom development company to quote the project will not have a "price" such a statement, unless some "assumption system" or "template The company may use a price to attract customers, but the development of the quality and controllability will not be discussed in detail here.

But APP development also has a "cute" side, because the final APP project price list is accurate to each small function point, each function point will correspond to a price, the price of all the small function points together is the total price of the APP project (only the regular reliable company will do so). Oh), so if your budget is insufficient, it is possible to reduce the development costs by deleting certain less important functions. This is also a more scientific approach, you can first develop the first version put into operation, and according to the actual operating conditions, to get market feedback, and then go to invest in the development of the second phase of the funds, the advantage of doing so is that it effectively reduces the "duplication of development" and "invalid development" brought about by unnecessary costs. The advantage of doing so is that it effectively reduces the unnecessary cost of "repeated development" and "ineffective development".

Two, app development scope of work: the larger the scope of work, the higher the cost

If only the idea: there are some projects are only in the "idea" stage, there is no systematic and rational program design, market research, industry analysis, and so on, and there is no APP to be realized to have to Functional planning, simply put, is that this APP project is from the beginning of 0, so that the development company to take over this type of project will have more "pre-docking work" needs to be carried out, at the same time, the entire project from the beginning to determine the intention of cooperation, and then sign a contract to implement the development of the time will be relatively long, the cost will be correspondingly The cost will also be higher.

If there is already a program: some customers have their own design and planning capabilities, while in their own industry has a certain operational experience and the reality of the foundation, has been tested in advance the feasibility, or market research, roughly planning for APP needs to realize what functions, have a clear idea, and then go to the development company to assess the program, so that to a certain extent, not only can get the development company to get a more accurate offer, but also reduce the cost of development. More accurate quotes, but also reduces the cost of communication, thus reducing the cost of development.

Summary: APP is the need for planning, customers need to be clear about what they need to function, in order to more effectively let the development company to understand your ideas, it is recommended that the customer to download some of the APP you think you want to APP have similar functions to other APP, reference to how others do, and then with the development company to show what they have what the needs of the APP development scope is!

Third, the quality of the app requirements: the higher the quality of the app required, the higher the development cost

The same App, the quality of the different prices will certainly be affected, and App there is a problem of upgrading, this upgrading is a lot of work to be done, whether to assume the responsibility for upgrading and perfecting the will affect the price;

The development of the APP client price is not fixed, the development of different functions of the APP client price is not fixed, the development of different functions of the APP client price is not fixed, the development of different functions of the APP client price is not fixed. not fixed, the development of different functions, its charges are not the same. Usually, the development of app client, the price is usually from a few tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands. If you want to know how much it costs to develop a website, you need to inform the other party of the functional requirements to be developed, and they will be able to give a rough quote.

Even if the same function of the App, the quality requirements are different, the price is going to be different, such as whether the UI user interface is beautiful, whether the UX user interaction effect is dazzling enough, or whether the overall design is sufficiently high-end when it comes to the specific population is rationalized, and so on, because these need to be designed by specialized designers.

Fourth, the development of which platforms: the development of multiple platforms, then the cost will increase accordingly

Currently, the mainstream APP platform mainly contains three categories: Android (Android), IOS (Apple), WP (Microsoft), and the vast majority of APP on the market at the moment are only compatible with the first two most mainstream platforms. Since

Android and IOS are not the same platforms, the development costs on each platform need to be calculated independently.

After the above general analysis, you will generally understand that if you need to develop an APP, you can not be the first sentence to ask the development company: "How much is an APP", because this is a very vague range, especially the development company even you want to APP contains what functions are not known, it is not possible to give a quote. It is possible to give to the quote.

As soon as you enter a 4S store, for example, you say: I want to buy a car, how much? There are cars ranging from $100,000 family sedans to $10 million supercars. Car according to the use (sedan, off-road, sports car, racing, public transportation is also a car), configuration, engine, device is not the same, the price and cost is very different. Similarly, it's the same when you come to ask for an app. You must express clearly what kind of APP you want, for what scene, APP to solve what problems, how to solve (specifically what functions are needed), to meet what the market needs and so on a series of issues. Otherwise, when you come up to ask the price, others will certainly take you for a fool. Because you simply did not tell people what kind of car you really want ah!

If you just ask me how much to do an APP? Well, I can only tell you that a few hundred dollars to a few hundred million, are possible. So, please, you have to sort out your own thinking first, and ask: "What kind of APP do I need?
