Cost Factors
What Affects the Cost?
Understanding these factors helps you make smarter decisions about scope and budget.
Android vs iOS vs Cross-Platform
For the same scope, Android and iOS cost roughly the same in 2026. Building both natively costs 40-60% more than one Flutter/React Native codebase — which is why most startup builds ship cross-platform.
City of the Team
Bangalore and Mumbai agencies typically quote 20-40% above the national range; Delhi NCR sits mid-band; Pune and Hyderabad often come in lower. Remote delivery means you don't have to fund metro-office overheads.
Hourly Rates by Seniority
Junior developers bill ₹800-1,200/hr, mid-level ₹1,200-1,800/hr, and senior engineers ₹1,500-2,700/hr at established Indian agencies — versus $100-200/hr for comparable US talent.
Features & Integrations
Payments, maps, OTP, chat, live tracking, and AI each add real build effort — AI/ML features alone typically add ₹2L+. Trimming to a true MVP feature set is the single biggest cost lever.
Design Depth
Template-driven UI keeps design around ₹50,000-1L. Fully custom UX with animations, branding, and user testing runs ₹1-4L+ for a typical app — and usually pays back in retention.
Hidden & Ongoing Costs
Budget for developer accounts (₹2,000-8,000/yr), cloud hosting (₹5,000-50,000/mo), third-party API fees, and maintenance at 15-20% of the build cost per year after launch.
