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

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.
