An honest breakdown of mobile app costs, from a simple MVP to a full product with payments and admin panel.
App cost depends on screens, logins, payments and how much backend work is needed. Anyone giving a price without asking questions is guessing.

Most projects fall into one of these.
- Simple app, 6 to 10 screens, no payments
- Business app with login, roles and admin panel
- Full product with payments, chat and reports
Costs after launch
Budget for store fees, hosting, bug fixes and one or two small updates every quarter. Skipping this is the most common mistake.
