Custom app development does not have a one-size-fits-all price. A simple app with a small number of screens and basic functionality can cost significantly less than an app requiring payments, user accounts, databases, notifications, third-party integrations, automation, or complex business logic.
| Package | Price | What's Included |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $2,500 | Up to 10 screens, core app features, basic UI/UX, iOS or Android delivery |
| Standard | $3,500 | Up to 15 screens, payment integration (Square/Stripe), enhanced UI/UX, iOS & Android |
| Premium | $5,000+ | 16+ screens, complex APIs, third-party integrations, advanced features - quoted per project |
| Add-On | Additional Cost |
|---|---|
| Beta tester recruitment (Developer sources testers) | +$500 |
| Additional screens beyond package limit (per screen) | +$150 |
| Additional revision rounds (per request) | $75 - $300+ |
| Extra meetings beyond included schedule | $100 per meeting |

| Advanced Analysis | $1,200+ | Automation, large datasets, predictive analysis, complex dashboards |
| Basic Automation | $100 - $400 | Single workflow automation (e.g., email, login) |
| Intermediate Automation | $400 - $900 | Multiple workflows, app integrations |
| Advanced Automation | $900 - $1,200+ | Full-scale automation across multiple tools |
Ultimately, it depends on the company and the developer. Most companies will charge at a higher rate, with some starting at $15,000-$30,000, because you're paying for an entire team, not just an individual developer.
Smaller companies and individual developers tend to be lower in price because they have fewer team members and less overhead.
The initial development cost isn't always the only cost to consider. Depending on your app, there may be ongoing expenses after launch.
For example, you may choose my $100/month update plan for ongoing changes and support. The first month's fee will be waived after the project is complete.
Some apps may also have costs for hosting, third-party services, Apple or Google developer accounts, or new features you decide to add later. Not every app will have all of these costs.
Before we start your project, I'll explain which ongoing expenses apply to your app so you know what to expect both now and after launch.
If you decide not to opt into the subscription and your app breaks, I will fix it at no additional fee.
You do not have to pay the full cost of your app upfront. Payments are broken into milestones throughout the project.
For most projects, payments are structured like this:
This allows you to spread the cost of development across the project rather than paying everything at once.
For projects over $10,000 or projects expected to take longer than 4 months, payments are typically divided into five stages:
Before development begins, your exact payment schedule will be included in your project scope so you know what is due and when.
Payments already made are non-refundable because they cover development work that has already been completed. If you decide to stop the project before it is finished, you will not be charged for future milestones that have not yet been reached. Any payment already due for completed work remains due.
Yes. If something comes up and you need to temporarily pause your project, please let me know as soon as possible. During the 30-day pause, no new milestone payments will be due unless work for that milestone has already been completed.
Because development time is scheduled in advance, I cannot guarantee that your project will resume immediately when you are ready to restart. Your project will be placed back into the development schedule based on current availability.
After the pause time is completed, I may need to review the remaining scope, timeline, and pricing before development resumes, especially if software requirements, third-party services, or the project itself have changed.
If a project is paused for more than 30 days, it will be considered inactive. When the client is ready to resume, the remaining scope and timeline will be reviewed, and the project will be rescheduled based on current availability.
