Creating a functional, customized yet profitable application is a dream comes true for virtually every business that tries to stand out from the crowd in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

One of the main reasons to have company’s app is, according to a Google survey, between the year 2017 and 2018 there was a 112% increase in the use of smartphones to access the internet. This shows that mobile devices are already a reality in everyday life for people. The forecast is that by 2021 we will reach more than 8.6 billion units of mobile phones, 1.8 billion computers and tablets, and 15.7 billion units of devices that own the internet of things.

But after all, how much does it cost to create an application?

Complete answer: It depends on features of an app and one of the android app development companies in Dubai you choose.

The costs involved in creating an app are linked to a number of factors, including from your platform (Android, IOS or Windows Phone) to the complexity of its features, such as integration with other sites and / or user profiles.

Therefore, setting a price to create an application without first asking some questions is practically impossible.

What questions are these?

1. On which platform will the application work?

Currently, the platforms most used for creating applications are Android, IOS (iPhone and iPad) and Windows Phone.

IOS apps are usually best to reach a more engaged and specific audience who use the Apple Store. Android applications, because they have a wider reach, also have a tougher competition.

In doubt it is also possible to develop universal versions, which work on all platforms.

2. How will the Login be within the application?

Depending on the purpose, users may need to log in. In these cases, this can be by email or social networks.

Login through social networks are usually more effective and user-friendly. But this function requires more specific integration with social media, such as Facebook, Linkedin or Instagram.

This can greatly increase the cost of the application and that is why many companies are starting to choose Login by email.

3. Will users have a Profile?

Working as a social network, where each user has a personalized profile, is certainly a differential when talking about applications.

But having a profile means providing personal information, which can be an obstacle depending on the audience for which the application is being developed.

4. Will there be any ranking system?

Ranking systems - quite common in classified applications - can vary in complexity and therefore have a significant impact on the cost of creating the application.

5. Will the application have to connect to any website?

Integrating the application with a website requires the creation of an API (Application Programming Interface), which is how all applications and websites within the same company communicate with each other.

The cost of this will depend, basically, on the data transmission capability and functionality required for the application to function in the best way possible.

6. What is the level of design sophistication?

Creating a sophisticated application, full of icons and custom buttons need a lot of features. And it's not cheap to be beautiful!
