iOS development firms price their services differently. Some will charge a per-hour rate that can range from $20 to $40 per hour, or a per-project rate that can start at $40,000 to $60,000 for simple apps. Complex apps can go up to $300,000 per project.
The app’s complexity is the primary deciding factor for the price, which is why most firms will require a project brief or a discovery call before providing a quote estimate. Additionally, the cost can be influenced by factors like the app's platform compatibility, integration with backend systems, and any specialized requirements.
The app development cost often includes the initial development and ongoing maintenance, updates, and potential future enhancements. It's crucial to thoroughly discuss your project requirements with potential development companies to get accurate cost estimates tailored to your specific needs.
