  • Reduced development time.
  • Streamlined communication across teams.
  • Thorough testing for quality assurance.

This efficiency results in a faster turnaround for your project without compromising on quality.

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:

  • 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)

How Long Does It Take to Make an iPhone App?

The time it takes to develop an iPhone app depends on various factors, including app complexity, the development team, and testing requirements. Here's a detailed look at the timeline for iPhone app development and how it can be optimized.

Timeline Factors That Influence Development
