FAQ

Common questions.

How accurate is the app development cost calculator?

It gives an indicative range, not a quote. Each answer points at one of the published ranges in our cost guides. Your real figure depends on scope, integrations, design depth and who builds it, so get a written quote.

How much does it cost to build an app in India?

Indicatively, a simple app costs around ₹3–8 lakh, a medium-complexity app ₹8–25 lakh and a complex platform ₹25 lakh or more, assuming one cross-platform codebase for iOS and Android.

Why does one answer move the estimate into a higher range?

The calculator shows the largest range any of your answers points at. A single need such as offline sync, ERP integration or compliance work usually decides the size of the project on its own.

Does the estimate include hosting and upkeep?

No. The range covers the build. Apps typically need around 15–25% of the build cost per year for upkeep, and websites have yearly domain, hosting and maintenance costs, shown with each result.

Is a Flutter app cheaper than two native apps?

Usually, yes, for apps that need both iOS and Android, because the UI and logic are written once. Design, backend, device testing and store work cost the same either way.

How do I get a written quote?
