Mobile app development
How much does an iOS app cost?
A native iOS app typically costs $5,000 to $12,000 for a focused app with one core flow, and more as features and integrations grow. Adding Android from the same cross-platform codebase brings it to $8,000 to $18,000. iOS users tend to spend more, so many products launch on iPhone first.

iOS or Android first?
If your audience skews toward higher spend or you are a consumer product in North America, iOS first is common. B2B and emerging markets often favour Android. Cross-platform lets you launch on both for about 35% more than one platform.
