What Is A Mobile App Development Cost Calculator?
A mobile app development cost calculator is a tool that allows you to estimate the cost of creating an app, considering various variables such as app type, features, platform, design, and development duration. This allows you to budget for your app idea quickly and easily without requiring technical skills.
How Does the Cost Calculator Work?
To provide you with a precise mobile app cost estimate based on your business needs, we have designed the mobile app cost calculator in a step-by-step manner. Here’s how it works:
Save Costs Without Compromising on Quality!
Why pay more? We optimize your app development budget, reducing costs by 40% while keeping timelines and quality intact.
Strategies to Reduce Your Mobile Application Development Cost

Focus MVP (minimum viable product)
Build the basics and expand as you go.
Do Cross-Platform Development
means make one app that runs on both iOS & Android
Utilize Open-Source Tools
Save money by using existing frameworks and libraries.
Outsource Development
Hire an experienced mobile app agency like Sunrise Technologies, who can build mobile apps in a quarter of the budget and time, leveraging decades of experience in the development
Refine UI/UX
A well-organized design minimizes further iterations and is cost-effective
Got questions? We have answers!
We take your IP and confidentiality seriously. As a proudly Australian-owned business, we strictly follow Australian consumer protection laws. Before any work begins, we sign a mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with every client to ensure your ideas, content, and product IP remain completely protected. You can trust us to treat your project with the same care and respect as if it were our own.
Absolutely. You’ll own 100% of the source code and all related assets. We’re simply here to help bring your vision to life — we don’t claim ownership over any part of your product. At the end of the project, we’ll hand over all source code, design files, and login credentials so you have full control.
Yes, we are! We’re an Australian-registered business, all our contracts and operations are aligned with Australian laws and standards, so you can feel confident working with a team that understands your local needs.
Yes, all payments are made to Australian bank accounts, including trusted names like ANZ and Commonwealth Bank. Every invoice is issued with our ABN and includes GST where applicable — everything is transparent and above board.
The cost depends on the complexity and features required, the platform (iOS, Android, or both), and the development approach. A basic application may cost $5,000–$20,000, while a complex application with advanced features can cost $50,000–$200,000 or more.
Key factors include app complexity, features, design, platform choice, third-party integrations, backend development, security requirements, and developer rates.
You can reduce costs by building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), using cross-platform development tools, leveraging open-source resources, outsourcing to lower-cost regions, and optimizing UI/UX design.
Not necessarily. The cost depends more on design, complexity, and features than the platform. iOS apps may require extra engineering to pass App Store reviews.
Yes, hidden costs can include third-party API fees, ongoing maintenance, server hosting, app store fees, and post-launch updates.
A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is a simplified version of your app with only core features. It helps reduce initial costs, speeds up time-to-market, and allows for user feedback before full-scale development.
We offer a 30-day free maintenance package. After that, ongoing maintenance typically costs 10% to 20% of the initial development cost annually. This covers updates, bug fixes, server hosting, and feature enhancements.
Yes. Outsourcing to developers in cost-effective regions can save up to 40% or more, while still ensuring quality development.
Post-launch costs may include server hosting, app store fees ($99/year for Apple, $25 one-time for Google Play), security patches, bug fixes, and ongoing marketing.
Monetization models such as subscriptions, in-app purchases, and ads often require additional development, which can increase the overall cost. However, they help recover costs and generate revenue over time.
