April 6, 2018 by Mohd Danish

In the Last Few Years, Mobile App Development has become a Hot Topic in the Small Business Industries. Most of the Startups and small-scale businesses are keen to develop their own Mobile App due to which all the entrepreneurs wonder about the cost to hire a Mobile App Developer?

Today I will share some of the Insight of Mobile App Development and how much does it cost to develop one.

Let’s Start with why do you consider having a Mobile App?

Mobile apps are software applications designed to run on smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. They are typically available through app stores which are operated by the owners of the mobile operating system. By 2020, mobile apps are forecast to generate around 189 billion U.S. dollars in revenues via app stores and in-app advertising. Some of the most popular operating system-native stores are Apple’s App Store, Google Play, as well as Windows Phone Store and BlackBerry App World. As of March 2018, there were 3.5 million available apps at Google Play Store and 2.8 million apps available in the Apple’s App Store, the two leading app stores in the world.

There must be some reason why everyone is going to launch their Mobile App?

Indeed, the sole purpose of such a surge in the Mobile App Development is the Revenue because Mobile App is a playing a huge role in revenue generation. Studies say that around 70% of the revenue of an eCommerce site is from Mobile App. Around 50% of the internet usage is from Mobile App.Mobile App User Stats

Costs are very much dependent on how complicated the app is to build, how much of its design is bespoke or whether it incorporates existing design features (the code for which may already be available to use), and how experienced your developer is.
