Whenever anyone takes a decision of moving ahead with mobile app development , the very first factors that strikes people mind is the cost of developing the app<\/a> . But even before going ahead with the app development , have you ever thought of the full defined features that will be present in your would be Mobile application ?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Especially when you are budget constraint , you have to predefine the features to get the exact cost estimate of developing a product .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

But inspite of taking into consideration various factors , an app development company<\/a> or app developers will unfortunately not be able to provide you with exact exact figure of app development cost . As the pricing of the app development depends on various variable elements such as man-hours to be spent , whether a company or freelancer<\/a> has been choose by you for an app development , on which platform you want your app , ie Android or iOS , do you want the app on Hybrid or Native <\/a>, technical’s aspects , the location of the development team and so on .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

In addition to it , in case you are planning to key in some more features in your app ( which is the usual case with most of us ) which is beyond your predefined scope of work , you have to pay more for the add on features .<\/p>\n

We are all aware that when talking about the app development industry , most of the companies follow dual pricing model :<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fixed price model<\/li>\n
  2. Hourly price model<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Fixed Price Model<\/h3>\n
    \n

    The fixed price model is best suitable if you have a pre defined scope of work . App development company will give you a fixed cost with predefined timeline with almost no scope in alternation of the project .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    <\/div>\n
    \n

    In this model , app idea , implementation of features and functionalities , platform on which app needs to be developed on are all well defined in advance . This is specially the case with the project which are small and have low budget . So it is not the touch task , even a small team will be able to accomplish it easily .<\/p>\n

    But you have to always keep in mind that in fixed price contract do not expect a single , I repeat ” not a single ” change in terms and condition of the contract under any circumstances .<\/p>\n

    However the biggest cons of this model is you are more concerned about your budget in comparison to what you are getting as a product in terms of quality , which may also results in failure \u00a0.<\/p>\n
