   What type of mobile platform do you use?

Whether you’re trying to build a native app for Android, iOS or Windows, or a hybrid, web or cross-platform mobile app, you’ll need to answer this question: Several factors contribute to the increased cost of doing business. Creating a native app, on the other hand, ties you to a single platform. 

When you write code for a mobile platform, you’re writing code for that platform only. A native app for each platform automatically increases the project’s time and cost.

While web apps run on any device and compile to run natively on a device, many organizations prefer native apps built with Xamarin or PhoneGap since they compile to operate on numerous platforms. 

As a developer, you can save time and money by creating a single version of your program that works on all platforms. Despite the promise of writing once and operating everywhere, cross-platform programs are slower and still require optimization for each device.

To make things even easier, many cross-platform and hybrid choices make use of technology that developers are already familiar with. 

As a result, hiring developers for the project can be more cost-effective because they don’t need to be fluent in a certain programming language like Swift or Kotlin.

2. The size and scope of the app project

When you know exactly what you want from your mobile app, you can better estimate the time it will take to build it. Mobile app development projects might range from a few days to six months or more, depending on the scope and complexity of your project. 

Back-end integrations and database support will be required for a real-time messaging app, for example, although a simple utility app may not need them.

A cheaper cost and shorter turnaround time can be achieved by defining the tasks that the mobile developer will perform. Your mobile app’s code is being updated from the current version to a newer one, such as Swift 3 or Kotlin for an Android app. 

3. Experience, location, and rating of the developer

The price of creating a mobile app has been widely discussed. The most cost-effective and time-saving alternative today is likely to be an app builder site such as Build fire or AppsBuilder. Subscription rates from $10-150 per month are available for app designers that only need a simple layout and few features. 

You’ll need a developer, however, if you want complete customizability and intend to integrate a mobile app into your business.

Additionally, factors such as a freelancer’s physical location and the current state of the local economy can influence their hourly rates. Xamarin and PhoneGap freelancers might charge anywhere from $10 to $60 an hour, depending on where in the world they are located. 

The track record of a mobile app developer is yet another consideration. If they are just starting out, they may be able to charge a lower rate than more seasoned specialists. 

Depending on the intricacy of your app, you will require a different mobile developer for each stage of the development process.

4. Outsourcing 

Outsourcing your project to Asia is the most cost-effective option. The average hourly rate in India is $19. In Vietnam, an hourly wage of $20 is standard.

But there is a downside to this strategy: if you wish to hire app developers at these low prices per hour, you’ll almost certainly get a product with flaws because these activities are stamped out like an assembly line. 

In countries like India, the cost should fall anywhere between $25 and $30.

You can count on TechJain to help you with all of your staff augmentation needs.

A team of skilled Ukrainian programmers may be assembled quickly via TechJain, and the average cost is lower than in the United States or Western Europe. Ukraine’s mobile app developers are among the best in the world, despite the fact that their hourly wages are greater than those in India.

It was possible to execute a big and thorough Discovery Phase for our partners, which helped to simplify the product as well as their business concept. 

Our cross-platform strategy of using (Technologies) saved 40% of development time and 60% of the cost. 

A Discovery Phase can be set up for your app, and we’ll work with you to uncover the complexities of your own business plan!
