Cost Of Android App Development

Cost Of Android App Development

Android app development is a process of creating a running application for the Android operating system. Its a popular Linux operating system platform.

The basic building block of  Android app development is programming using java and kotlin. 

After the approach of mobile phones in the world, the use of android apps has widely increased. This is why many business people build their own mobile apps. 

Both  iOS app development and Android app development vary in price, it depends on the type of application you build and according to the requirements of the users, in which country you are developing, the time that you spend on developing the app. And many more factors.

It’s a common scenario that the app development starts up with a budget and ends in a different budget. 

While developing an app you should idea about the requirements of the app and how much does it cost.

Developing an Android app cost more than developing an ios app. Because developing an android app requires more coding and uses fragmentation and  XML layout which increases the working time spent on developing an app. 

There are many factors that affect the cost of Android app development:

Cost of internal vs external app development:

A different group of people has different skills. You may have a team with a mobile experience and need support from the external team. For example, you can design the app but you need the support of an engineer to make it to reality. For this, you need an outsource company to fix this so this plays a major role in deciding the price of app development. In these cases, the type of support you seek will determine the price of development.

App platform:

Platform be the primary factor for an app development cost.  Choosing a platform have a big impact on the app development price. Determining a platform for app development has become more crucial. You can develop an app in  Android and iOS, virtual assistants, messaging, IoT products for virtual reality. You need to research which platform has more users. There are more android users when compared to iOS users. Two kinds of app development available native and hybrid. Native apps are for a particular platform like Andriod only android platform can build them. The cost of native apps is much more when compared to hybrid apps. People who want to work with different platforms can go with hybrid apps like react-native.

The app backend and API development cost:

Apps are incomplete without a backend to host the data and content. every project requires an element of engineering that allows the app to communicate with the backend. It can use an API to build on a client-server like AWS or Azure. But it has a middle layer that can abstract enterprise legacy data into a structure and access on the app. More the number of variables involved in the backend has a great impact on the cost of mobile app development.

Cost of third-party app integration:

Third-party integration is also one of the major factors of app development cost. These apps usually have different features that come from different sources, features like UI, social media, location, etc. Whatever app you build, it will require third-party integration, and this is the reason you have to keep in mind the cost for third-party integration.

Native vs cross-platform app development cost :

If you need to build an application in both android and ios then its better to go with cross-platform app development. Also, it saves development time and cost. If you want to build an app with features like Augmented reality or more advanced features then the native application is preferred.

Animation:

The most common tool to give an app is adding animations to the interface. But each additional animation can drive app design and increase the development cost. 

Maintenance:

The update of the app is mandatory as it reminds the regular user that the app has constant changes in favor of its users. updating of apps brings new features that require additional budget. Therefore the cost of the Android app development varies according to what type of app you build. And what al requirements you add on it.
