The total development cost of an on-demand education mobile app like Gradeup will be determined as any other on-demand solution’s cost. We are going to mention a few key factors which will decide the final cost of iOS app development as well as Android app development.
In cases of on-demand solution development, development companies charge you in one of these two ways
  • The fixed price of your project: If you know about what kind of mobile application and the website you want and how it should look and feel like as well as what features they will have then fixing a price beforehand is the best approach. 
  • The hourly rate: When it comes to big projects such as complex websites and mobile applications, as well as web applications, video games, computer software, etc where the project is updated from time to time and new features are added, development companies charge their clients on an hourly basis. 

Factors that will affect your development costs

  • The country-wise location of the development company: Hiring a USA based company then will cost you anywhere between $200 to $250 per hour whereas an online solution development company from India will charge you almost $40 to $50 per hour.
  • The total number of Panels and Features of the app: The total number of required panels (in this case total 3 panels) with the total number of features you want in those panels will also affect your app’s design development cost.
  • The UI & UX of the app: A smooth and user-friendly UI and UX is a necessity for an app to get successful between users. Investing in a better as well as smoother Ui & UX is recommended.  
  • The total number of supported platforms: If you want your application to run on both Android as well as iOS then your app’s final cost will be increased.
