Price

€200-€15,000

Based on 98 of our quotes as of 14 August 2026

A mobile app from us costs €200-€15,000: the range is this wide across 98 of our quotes as of 14 August 2026 because “app” can mean very different things, from a screen that sends notifications and opens your system to a marketplace with profiles, chat, payments and a map. We do not quote a typical price because the offers vary too widely to name one honestly. The price is driven by the number of screens and roles, whether a server and administration are needed, and real-time features: chat, live location and a game with many people playing at once.

Below, we explain what you get at the lower, middle and upper ends, with real apps from our work, what you pay for separately (Apple and Google stores, the server and support), and how payment works week by week.

What you get at each price point

At the lower end: an app with one process

from €200

Login and profile, phone notifications, one process (request, booking, status check), and publishing in the App Store and Google Play. The app uses your existing system or website for data, so no new server is needed. We build it with React Native, so one codebase runs on iOS and Android.

Login and profile
Push notifications
iOS and Android from one codebase
Publishing to the App Store and Google Play

In the middle: an app with a server and administration

A dedicated server with a database, web administration, card payments through Stripe, video or content you can update yourself, class bookings or orders. At this level, the app is already a two-sided product: the customer on the phone and you in the administration panel.

Server and database
Browser-based administration
Card payments through Stripe
Content you can update yourself

An example from our work

Heal Fit

iOS app for therapeutic and rehabilitation exercise: workout videos in Bulgarian, progress programmes and class bookings. Published in the App Store, where the screenshots and rating are from the store itself.

At the upper end: marketplace, chat and real-time operations

up to €15,000

Two or more roles (customer and service provider, passenger and driver), real-time chat, live location on a map, offline mode, payments between users, a web portal and a dashboard for you. An app like this takes months to build, with weekly versions for testing on the phone.

Multiple roles with separate screens
Real-time chat and location
Offline maps and working without a connection
Web portal and dashboard

What Affects the Price

Screens and roles

Every screen is designed, built and tested on both platforms. Separate views for a customer, employee and administrator multiply the work, so we ask who sees what before giving you a price.

Server and integrations

The app needs somewhere to store the data. If you have a system, we connect it to the app; if you do not, the server and administration are included in the quote. Payments and maps are separate integrations.

Real-time functionality

Chat, live location and games with many people at once require more work than standard screens, as well as more testing.

What is not included in the price

App Store and Google Play accounts

The stores require a company account in your name, with an annual fee for Apple and a one-time fee for Google. We set them up together, you pay the fees, and the app is published by your company.

Server and support

An app with a server involves hosting, backups and updates because iOS and Android release new versions every year. Support costs €100-€350 per month and starts from publication.

Payment fees

Stripe and the stores charge a fee for every payment made through the app. It does not go through us.

Logo, legal texts and images

The terms and conditions, privacy policy and materials for the store listing are yours. We help prepare them, but we do not write them instead of your lawyer.

How you pay

We start with a prototype of the screens, which you approve before any code is written. Then you receive a working test version on your phone every week, so changes do not pile up until the end. The offer sets out what is included in each calculation, what you receive at each stage and what we expect from you.

You pay in weekly stages set out in the offer, with the balance due when the app is submitted to the stores. Any new functionality along the way is described and quoted in writing before work begins.

The code, design, server and store accounts are yours.

Pricing questions

Yes, in two ways. We start with one process and add the rest once people are using the app. Or we build a web app that opens from a link and can be added as an icon on the phone, without the app stores at all: that is how we built the app for a construction company's technicians, with login via an SMS code.

An app with a single process takes around four weeks; one with a server and administration takes two to three months; a marketplace with chat and payments takes three months or more. App Store and Google Play review takes days, but the first submission is sometimes sent back for corrections, and we include that in the timeline.

Apple and Google change their versions every year, and the app must be updated to remain in the stores. This is included in the €100-€350 per month support plan, together with the server, backups and request-based support. We fix bugs caused by us at no charge.

Yes. We use React Native, so one codebase works on both platforms and the price does not double. When the app is only for your team on company phones, Android alone is sometimes enough, and we will tell you so.

We publish it from your company's accounts. That way, the app, reviews and revenue belong to you, not to the contractor.

If the app stores data that needs to be viewed from more than one phone, yes. If you have a system or website with an API, the app works with them and you do not need a new server.

Yes, if it has an API or exports data. A field-team app connected to an office system is our most common case: tasks, photos, a signed report, with everything stored in the system.
