Key takeaways
- A focused app for iOS and Android starts from about ₹2.5 lakh.
- Offline work, payments, and extra user roles move the price more than screen count.
- Compare quotes against the same written feature list, not the headline number.
A mobile app quote follows the job the app has to do. Screens, offline work, payments, and whether iOS and Android ship together all change the figure. Below is where quotes usually start when a business in Hyderabad, or anywhere else in India, asks what to budget.
Where quotes usually start
| Type of app | Starts from | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Focused app with login and a core flow | ₹2.5 lakh | 8–12 weeks |
| Field or customer app with offline capture and roles | ₹4 lakh | 10–14 weeks |
| App with payments and a web admin | ₹6 lakh | 3–5 months |
Both stores are covered by one React Native codebase. The fixed quote comes after discovery.
What the price covers
A complete build covers the user flows, interface design, the app, the API work behind login and roles, push notifications, and submission to the App Store and Play Store. Field apps add an offline path so a job can be closed when the network drops. If the office needs a live view, that dashboard is a web screen scoped alongside the app.
What moves the number
- Offline use, camera capture, and signatures add design and sync work.
- Payments, wallets, and refunds need extra flows and testing.
- Each user role needs its own screens and permissions.
- An app that needs a new backend costs more than one using an API you already run.
