Why there is no single price
An app that displays a catalogue is nothing like a booking app with online payment and an admin area. An "all-inclusive" price quoted without knowing your needs is rarely reliable. What matters is the scope: the screens, the features and the connections with your other tools.
The factors that change the budget
1. Features
Every feature adds design and testing time: user accounts, notifications, payment, geolocation, camera, messaging, offline mode… Starting with the essentials lets you launch sooner, then grow the app.
2. The back office
As soon as you want to edit content, view orders or manage users without asking us, you need an admin interface and a database. It is often half of the work, and it is what makes the app truly independent.
3. Design
A custom interface, designed for your users, requires mock-ups and revisions. It is an investment that shows in usage and in your Play Store reviews.
4. Connections with your tools
Synchronising the app with your website, ERP, till or a third-party service (payment, emailing) adds integration work that should be planned from the start.
5. Publishing and maintenance
Going live on Google Play requires a complete listing, a privacy policy and checks. Then Android keeps evolving: planning regular updates prevents an app from breaking or being removed from the store.
Good habit: list in three columns what is essential at launch, what is useful later, and what is a "nice to have". A well-scoped budget almost always starts from the first column.
Custom app or ready-made solution?
No-code app builders suit a very simple need. As soon as you have specific business rules, a strong identity or connections with your tools, a custom app avoids the limits and lifetime subscriptions of a third-party platform. You remain the owner of your app.
