The most common question we get at Strayks before a project starts is: how much will this cost? The honest answer is: it depends. But that answer is not helpful. So here is the real breakdown.
The Variables That Drive Cost
App cost is driven by four things: complexity, design requirements, platform (iOS, Android, or both), and post-launch support needs.
A simple app with basic screens and no backend is very different from a full-featured SaaS with a custom API, authentication, payments, and real-time features.
Realistic Price Ranges
A basic MVP — three to five screens, simple backend, one platform — typically starts from $2,000 to $5,000 at Strayks. This is for a real, functional product, not a prototype.
A mid-range app — multiple features, custom design, API integrations, both platforms — typically ranges from $5,000 to $15,000.
A full-scale product — custom AI features, complex backend, multiple user roles, admin dashboard — starts from $15,000 and scales based on scope.
What Drives Costs Up
Custom animations, complex integrations, real-time features, offline functionality, and rushed timelines all increase cost. Being clear about your requirements from the start keeps costs predictable.
