4. Why Android Apps?
In most of thecasesit isstated that companiesseek too much
development cost and tend to earn hugeprofit out of the
delivery process. To check theauthenticity of thiskind of
statementsForrester performed asurvey in theyear 2014.
Thesurvey revealed astarling fact, app development that are
quoted in between of $50000 to $100000 often arecompleted
within only 35% project worth expenditure, leading to
somewhat 65% profit. AnyPresencesurvey also shared another
fact and that is80% of theappsarebeing updated only twicein
asingleyear and nearly onethird of that dosit every month.

5. A Quest for Quality!
An entrepreneur must know thewholeapp development process
and thecost involved in that for getting theright ideaabout the
total worth of app development. SynapseIndiaCEO

application development servicescost let’sfocuson that.

6. The Conceptualization Phase
This stage is all about idea and innovative discussions. Both the
developer and clients get acquainted with one another and
make sure that they are in the same board while planning the
whole process. Any simple idea of app costs much lesser than
something likegameor datadriven app.
Once this stage is over the whole picture is set and as per the
blueprint of the app development life-cycle developers
approach.

7. Functionality Outlining
This part ensures app success majorly. Having a simple app does
not mean that the functionalities are less; theflexibility of these
featuresdeterminesthepriceof it.

8. Finalizing Interfaces!
The users are the prime decider of any apps usability quotient
percentage. Unless and until you seek the support of
professional mobile UI designer the outcome would be
moderate.
The cost gap in this stage results due to the utilization of web
designers in many cases. The prices gets down to almost half if
you hire any web designer to design and plan your mobile app
interface, but you need to decideif you want to takethat risk!

9. Marketing &Promotion
When everything is said and done, the app is hosted in Google
play store for a onetime $25. Afterwords through various
analytical toolsyou need to monitor theprogress.

11. Conclusion
In a nutshell, it can safely be stated that the cost varies based on
demographic location, development company’s experience, and
project complexity. But, the sole decision must be taken by you
after going through the quotations, development strategy and
portfolio of thework they share.
