Pricing

How much does a mobile app cost

The price depends on the number of screens and features, platforms and integrations. Below are three typical app sizes. You get the exact scope, milestones, date and price in writing once I know your idea.

In short: a MINI app (one platform) costs €3,500 – €6,000, an MVP for iOS and Android €8,000 – €16,000, and MAX €18,000 – €35,000, excl. VAT. Post-launch care is from €150 a month, excl. VAT.

Testing in every package

Testing grows with the app. Before App Store and Google Play review, every build goes through regression testing within the scope of its package.

MINI

Basic

The key flows checked by hand on a real iPhone or Android phone before every build.

MVP

Devices + unit

Every build checked on real iOS and Android phones, with the app's logic covered by unit tests.

MAX

Multi-level + suites

Unit, integration, end-to-end and security tests, grouped into automated suites.

What drives the price

  • Number of screens and flows

    Every screen means design, code and tests. Fewer screens at launch means an earlier release.

  • Standard or custom design

    Standard design on proven patterns is faster and cheaper. Custom design by a UI/UX specialist gives a unique look but costs more.

  • One or two platforms

    I build iOS and Android from one codebase, so the second platform usually costs only a little more.

  • Payments and subscriptions

    In-app purchases need setup in both stores and compliance with their rules.

  • Integrations

    Connecting to your system, CRM or an external API depends on its documentation.

  • Admin panel

    From simple content editing to user roles, reports and exports.

  • Languages

    Translations, date and currency formats, and store listings in every language.

  • Website and web version

    A marketing site is included in MVP and MAX. A web version of the app is quoted separately.

Post-launch care

An app doesn't end at release. The monthly retainer covers:

MINI
€150 / month
MVP
€300 / month
MAX
from €450 / month

New features are not part of the retainer — each one is quoted separately before I start.

  • Updates for new iOS and Android versions
  • Bug fixes
  • Monitoring and a monthly report

Questions about cost

How much do App Store and Google Play accounts cost?

You open the accounts in your own or your company’s name — the app is yours from day one. Apple charges a yearly fee, Google a one-off fee. An Apple company account needs a D-U-N-S number, so it’s worth starting early. You add me to your team, and I guide you through the rest.

How much does maintenance cost?

Care is a fixed monthly retainer that depends on the package: MINI €150, MVP €300, MAX from €450, excl. VAT. It covers updates for new iOS and Android versions, bug fixes, and monitoring with a report. New features are not included — they are quoted separately. On top of that come the fees for services the app uses (e.g. database and server, payment handling, hosting) — you pay the providers directly, and I give you an estimate before launch.

How is the quote made?

From your brief and your answers to my questions, I break the scope into screens and features, split it into milestones and give a price and date — in writing.

What do I need to prepare?

A description of the idea and its key features, the content (copy, photos, logo), App Store and Google Play accounts in your or your company’s name, and someone who approves wireframes and test builds as we go.

How does payment work?

30% when we sign the contract, the rest as each milestone is accepted. VAT invoices are payable within 14 days.

Can I start with a smaller version?

Yes. Start with MINI or MVP and grow the app after launch.

What if I need a feature outside the package?

Every extra feature is quoted separately — before launch, after release and during care. The retainer covers maintaining the app, not extending it.
