how much does it cost to create app
A simple, table-based app would cost around $1,000 to $4,000 to develop. This is with the presumption that all content and sample apps are provided for by the client. Providing the design on top of these can potentially bring down the cost to $1,500.
An app design package for an iPhone-only mobile app can cost as little as $500 to as much as $10,000. This design package comes in a base level design that a developer would need in encoding the app.
This cost covers crafting the user experience within the app as well as the architecture of its game play. Again, the client generally provides for all content and media. These content are then plugged into the app as it is programmed. A game app could cost as little as $10,000 to as much as $250,000. It is quite difficult to provide a ballpark figure for developing a game, however, to provide a benchmark, the popular mobile game Angry Birds cost between $125,000 and $180,000 to develop.
