What type of application do you want? Is it a react native application or a hybrid application? The cost of developing a hybrid App is comparatively low to a native App as a single code will work for all the platforms. However, it will lack a couple of features as fewer customization options are available for developing a hybrid app.
The category is another major factor which influences the development cost of an app. For instance, a shopping portal will have high-end database connectivity, access to the user’s camera, voice recognition system, payment gateway, and therefore its development cost will be high. On the other hand, a simple mobile application which relies on the smartphone’s firmware, such as a camera with customized filters, will cost less.
What features are you looking forward to integrating into your application? Do you want database connectivity or a payment system or access to user’s hardware? Maybe you are looking forward to launching a game which embeds technologies such as Virtual and Augmented Reality. With an increase in the requirement of advanced and customized features, the cost will increase as well.
Will your app have a user login system? If yes, then you need to make sure that user’s data is secured. To do so, an integration of a user authentication/authorization system is necessary. The cost of developing a non-secured application is significantly low than an app integrating a security system.
Let us say, an e-commerce app with secured payment option is the idea of your application. Now, rather than developing a dedicated payment gateway from scratch, it is better to integrate third-party payment gateways which are already being used worldwide and are secure. However, this integration will also increase the development cost of your application.
