App cost calculator

How big is it?

Screen count is the single biggest driver of cost. Count the distinct screens a user can reach, not the states each one has.

Where does it need to run?

We build cross-platform, so both stores from one codebase costs far less than building the app twice.

How custom should it look?
What does it need to do?

Pick only what the first release genuinely needs. Everything here can be added later, and most good apps launch without most of it.

What Drives Cost

Where the number actually comes from

The calculator is arithmetic on averages. These are the things that move a real quote up or down once we understand your project.

  • How many screens

    The single biggest driver. A five-screen app and a fifty-screen app differ in cost by far more than ten times, because screens interact with each other.

  • Whether you need accounts

    Logins, profiles, password resets and permissions add a whole layer behind the app. Plenty of good apps launch without any of it.

  • Payments

    Taking money brings checkout flows, refunds, failed-payment handling and compliance. Necessary when it's your revenue model, expensive when it isn't.

  • Integrations

    Connecting to systems you already run is usually straightforward. Connecting to one with no API, or one that's poorly documented, is where estimates stretch.

  • Content and admin

    If you need to change things yourself without calling us, that admin panel is a second product with its own cost.

  • How finished it needs to be

    Testing an idea with early users and launching to a paying audience are different standards of polish, and they price differently.

FAQ

Before you trust a number from a calculator

How accurate is this estimate?

It will put you in the right order of magnitude, which is usually what you need before deciding whether to have the conversation at all. It cannot account for the things that actually stretch a quote — an integration with no API, a regulated industry, a design you change your mind about. Treat the low end as the realistic floor for a well-scoped build and the high end as what happens when the details are complicated.

Is this a quote?

No, and we will not treat it as one. A real price comes after a free consultation where we understand what you are building, and it is fixed in writing before any code exists. Nothing here binds either of us.

Why is the range so wide?

Because narrowing it would be dishonest. Two apps with the same screen count and the same feature list can differ by three times depending on how the data flows and what they integrate with. A calculator that returns a single confident number is telling you what you want to hear.

What is not included in these numbers?

Third-party costs you own directly — Apple's and Google's developer accounts, hosting, domains, and any paid API or SMS service your app depends on. We tell you what those will be in the proposal rather than after launch.

Can I get an app built for less than the lowest number here?

Not from us. ₹15,000 is the floor for a real, working, launchable app with designs you approve and code you own. There are cheaper offers in the market; they are usually a template with your logo on it, or an estimate that grows once you have paid the deposit.

Do you charge hourly instead?

No. We quote a fixed price for an agreed scope, so the number you approve is the number you pay. If you want something added mid-project we price that separately and you decide.
