How app development cost is calculated
App cost = platform base + screens + features + integrations + design. Testing, publishing to the stores and thirty days of support are included in every Infovion project.
Platform. A progressive web app installs from a link and is the least expensive. One codebase for Android and iOS (React Native) covers both stores. Two separate native apps cost the most and suit graphics-heavy or hardware-heavy products.
Screens and user types. Each screen is designed, built, connected to the server and tested. An app with customers, staff and administrators has three sets of screens.
Features. Sign-in, payments and notifications are small. Chat, live tracking, offline sync, calls and AI features are larger, because most of their work is on the server.
What the estimate leaves out. Google Play and Apple developer accounts (in your name), hosting, SMS and WhatsApp charges, and maintenance after the first thirty days.

| Type of app | Typical budget | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Progressive web app | ₹60,000 – 2.5 lakh | 3 – 6 weeks |
| Android and iOS first release (MVP) | ₹2 – 6 lakh | 5 – 10 weeks |

| Annual maintenance (AMC) | 15 – 25% of build cost a year | Ongoing |
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to develop an app in India in 2026?
With Infovion Technologies, an installable progressive web app typically costs ₹60,000 to ₹2.5 lakh, a first release for Android and iOS from one codebase ₹2 lakh to ₹6 lakh, and a full-featured app with an admin panel and integrations ₹6 lakh and above. Our developers work with AI coding tools, which is why these figures are lower than older price lists. The calculator above adds up platform, screens, features, integrations and design to give a range for your own app.
What decides the cost of a mobile app?
Five things: the platform (a PWA, one codebase for Android and iOS, or two native apps), the number of screens and user types, features such as payments, chat, maps and offline use, integrations with other systems, and the level of design. The backend and admin panel are often half the work.
Is it cheaper to build one app for Android and iOS together?
Yes. A cross-platform app built with a framework such as React Native shares most of its code between Android and iOS, so it costs noticeably less to build and maintain than two separate native apps. Native apps are worth the extra cost for heavy graphics or deep device features.
How long does it take to build an app?
A first release usually takes six to ten weeks, and a full application three to five months. The calculator estimates a timeline from the size of the build. Work is delivered every two weeks, so you can test early.
How much does an app cost to maintain each year?
Plan for 15 to 25 percent of the build cost a year for an annual maintenance contract: operating system updates, store policy changes, security patches, fixes and small improvements. Hosting and third-party services are billed at cost.
Do you quote in dollars for clients outside India?
Yes. Clients outside India are invoiced in USD with no Indian GST, since the work is an export of services. Choose USD, AED or GBP in the calculator to see the same estimate at an approximate exchange rate.
Is the estimate a fixed price?
No. It is a planning range. After a first call we send a written scope and a fixed price, usually within two business days.
