Essential guides

Guides to app costs and choosing software.

Two guides to help you think through budgets, priorities and development choices.

How much does it cost to develop an app?

There is no single price. To estimate the work, you need to define what the app will do, who will use it and which systems it needs to connect to.

What shapes the project

Features
The number and complexity of operations, user roles and content management.
Interface
Screens, navigation flows and adaptation to different device sizes.
Backend and integrations
Management panels, APIs, databases and connections to existing tools.
Launch and maintenance
Distribution, maintenance and updates to consider alongside initial development.

Mobile app development

Custom software or an existing business platform?

The choice depends on the processes you need to manage. Compare your actual needs with what an existing solution offers before deciding what to build.

An existing solution

Worth considering when the available features already cover your processes.

  • Check limitations and customisation options.
  • Consider licences and recurring costs.
  • Review integrations and data exports.

A custom project

Worth considering when specific workflows and integrations need a dedicated product.

  • Define operational priorities.
  • Allow time for design and development.
  • Plan for maintenance and future changes.

Before deciding, ask yourself:

  • Which task do I want to simplify?
  • Which tools need to communicate?
  • Who will use the software every day?
  • Which features are essential in the first version?
