How Much Does It Cost to Develop an App for iOS?

The cost of developing an iOS app depends on various factors, including the complexity of the app, design requirements, and the location of developers. Below is a breakdown of iOS app development costs by complexity, estimated timelines, and other influencing factors.

Cost Breakdown by App Complexity

App Complexity Description Estimated Development Time Estimated Cost
Simple Apps Apps with basic functionality, minimal design, and limited features. Examples include calculators or to-do lists. 2–4 months $10,000–$40,000
Medium Complexity Apps Apps with moderate features such as user authentication, payment integrations, or APIs. Examples include e-commerce platforms or social media apps. 4–8 months $40,000–$100,000
Complex Apps Apps with advanced features like real-time data processing, custom animations, AI, AR, or enterprise-level integrations. Examples include gaming apps or fintech platforms. 8+ months  

 

Factors Influencing the Cost of iOS App Development

Number of Features

The complexity and quantity of features directly impact the development time and cost. For instance, adding functionalities like geolocation, chat systems, or in-app purchases will increase expenses.

Design Complexity

  • Custom Designs: Apps requiring intricate user interfaces and animations demand more time and resources.
  • Standard Designs: Apps with simple layouts or templates are more cost-effective.

Developer Location and Hourly Rates

The location of your development team significantly influences the cost. Here are average hourly rates by region:

  • North America: $100–$200/hour
  • Eastern Europe: $40–$70/hour
  • Asia (India, China): $20–$50/hour

Third-Party Integrations

  • Regular updates to meet evolving user demands.
  • Bug fixes and performance optimization.
  • Implementing new features to stay competitive.

Testing and Quality Assurance (QA)

  • Complex Apps: Advanced features such as real-time data processing, AI, or AR functionality significantly lengthen the timeline.

Team Size

  • Larger teams can work on multiple aspects of the app simultaneously, speeding up development. However, this requires strong coordination to avoid delays.

Testing and Quality Assurance

  • Rigorous testing ensures that the app performs seamlessly across devices and iOS versions. The more complex the app, the more time is needed for testing and debugging.

Average Development Times

App Complexity Description Estimated Timeline
