App development
cost calculator
Use this app development cost calculator to explore a budget for an iOS, Android, React Native or Flutter project. Describe the core user journeys, features and integrations. Treat the result as an initial planning estimate, then review the assumptions and exclusions before requesting a project quotation.
All estimates are at $30/hour, the planning rate used by this calculator. Compare proposals against the same features, responsibilities and exclusions.

Use this checklist to define the work before estimating it. It is not a country-rate comparison or a quotation.
What are you building?
Select your project type. Our AI will ask a few targeted questions to generate an accurate estimate.
How the app cost estimator works
Choose an app type, answer the project questions and review the estimate. Email verification is required for the full estimate. Before comparing proposals, confirm the target platforms, backend and administration work, integrations, testing, store submission and support responsibilities.
Choose app type
Select the type of app you need. Native, cross-platform, and app category each have different cost drivers.
Answer 6 AI questions
Our AI generates 6 targeted questions specific to your app type. Every answer directly impacts the estimate.

App cost calculator, your questions answered
How much does it cost to build an app in 2026?
App cost depends on platforms, user journeys, backend requirements, integrations, testing and release work. This calculator uses a $30/hour planning rate. Review its assumptions before requesting a project quotation.
How much does it cost to make an app for iOS and Android?
Native and cross-platform approaches have different requirements. Compare platform-specific features, shared code, device testing, backend work and maintenance against the same brief.
How much does iOS app development cost in India?
Define iOS journeys, devices, backend and integration requirements, testing and store release responsibilities. Use the calculator for initial planning and confirm scope before agreeing a price.
How much does Android app development cost in India?
Define Android journeys, devices, backend and integration requirements, testing and store release responsibilities. Compare native and cross-platform options against the actual requirements.
Is it cheaper to build an app in India than in the USA?
Country alone does not establish project cost or delivery quality. Compare current proposals using the same scope, responsibilities, evidence, currency and exclusions.
How much does React Native app development cost?
React Native can share application code across platforms, while platform-specific features and testing still require work. Estimate the actual journeys, integrations and release responsibilities.
How much does Flutter app development cost?
Flutter can share application code across platforms. Scope the design, integrations, device behaviour, backend and testing before comparing proposals; a framework alone does not establish a price or saving.
What does app maintenance cost after launch?
Plan maintenance separately, including supported OS versions, dependency updates, defect handling, monitoring and support. Agree coverage, exclusions and commercial terms for the actual application.
How accurate is this app development cost calculator?
The result is an initial planning estimate based on the information supplied. It is not a fixed-price quotation or a guarantee of accuracy. Confirm the features, integrations, existing-code constraints, assumptions and exclusions before agreeing project scope, price and delivery terms.
