| App Type | Features | Timeline | Cost in India |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple App | 5–8 screens, basic UI, no backend | 4–6 weeks | ₹50,000–₹1,20,000 |
| Medium App | 10–20 screens, login, API, dashboard | 8–14 weeks | ₹1,50,000–₹3,50,000 |
| E-commerce App | Product catalog, cart, payments, admin | 12–20 weeks | ₹2,50,000–₹5,00,000 |
| On-demand App | Like Zomato/Ola — real-time, maps, chat | 20–36 weeks | ₹5,00,000–₹12,00,000 |
| Enterprise App | Custom backend, CRM, analytics, multi-role | 24–52 weeks | ₹8,00,000–₹25,00,000+ |
Building for both iOS and Android separately doubles the cost. We use React Native and Flutter — cross-platform frameworks that build one app that runs on both platforms, reducing your cost by 35–50%.
A basic UI with standard components costs less. Custom animations, micro-interactions, and unique design systems add ₹30,000–₹1,50,000 to your budget. Good design directly impacts user retention and app store ratings.
Apps that need user accounts, databases, notifications, or third-party APIs require backend development. A Node.js or Firebase backend adds ₹40,000–₹2,00,000 depending on complexity.
Common features and their approximate cost in India:
• User login / authentication — ₹15,000–₹30,000
• Payment gateway (Razorpay/Stripe) — ₹20,000–₹40,000
• Push notifications — ₹10,000–₹20,000
• GPS / Maps integration — ₹20,000–₹50,000
• Chat / messaging — ₹30,000–₹80,000
• Admin dashboard — ₹40,000–₹1,00,000
Freelancers in India charge ₹800–₹2,000/hour. Agencies like Nexus charge ₹2,000–₹5,000/hour but offer project management, QA testing, and post-launch support — reducing overall risk significantly.
India has the world's largest pool of mobile app developers. Development costs in India are 60–80% lower than the USA or UK, while quality is comparable. Indian agencies have built apps for global clients including US, UK, Australia, and Singapore-based startups.
