It is difficult for a customer to choose a contractor because he does not understand how much time and effort it takes to solve a problem, and the performers have to regularly explain that it is impossible to create a 30-screen monster for all devices within a week or that if the competitor has broken the price, , this does not mean that we are doing much worse.

[b]The Price[/b]

So let's find out what the price for developing an application is. In the article, we calculated the cost of creating a mobile application, which, naturally, may increase or decrease due to a number of factors: the region, the reputation of the agency, and so on, which we will also talk about. When it comes to Mobile Apps Development in Australia then companies like PixelPro Designs can be easily optainable.

[b]Timing[/b]

The first thing that adds up the cost and development time is the complexity of the application. Second - the number of platforms (iPhone iOS, iPad iOS, Android phone, Android tablet, Windows Phone), on which it will work. Yes, tablets and smartphones are often considered separately, but not always, below I'll explain why.

By the way, the Android application does 20-30 percent longer and at least a third more expensive than under iOS, because it needs to be tested on more devices. As a result, there are more bugs and you have to make more edits. In hours, the difference in the time spent starts from 20 for a simple application (all data are from the market expert Nicholas Wright, published in the Upwork blog) and ends with a number for a hundred for a complex one.

In Australia, as a rule, do not group by subject, so I will not further refer business and gaming applications to different categories. Plus, I will adjust the data for the development hours: I will indicate "average temperature in the hospital".

[b]Simple applications[/b]

Usually, simple applications are those that contain about 5 screens, do not exchange data with any of yours and others' databases (do not update the lists of free tables, the remaining tickets), do not collect user activity analytics, and personal cabinet in them if there is, then with registration only by email.

Simple applications are usually, or business cards (information about the company, address, map of travel), or programs created for one simple process like ordering without selecting a product and adding to the basket. For iOS and Android-smartphones and tablets, specialized agencies create the same in a month or two, spending 100-300 hours of their specialists.

An application on one platform can be made faster and cheaper - within a month (150 hours) - but few customers agree to be limited to one device. For them and those who want to save, there is a solution in the form of cross-platform development, but there are many pitfalls like limited functionality, visualization and performance, however, for some orders this is not critical.

Even with separate spelling, the code for each platform should not be absolutely unique. That is, if the program is first written for one platform and then adapted to another, this does not increase the development cost by half. But a little longer.
