Mobile App Cost 2026: Real Numbers and Factors

How much does a mobile app cost in 2026? iOS, Android, React Native — real prices by feature complexity.

How is mobile app pricing calculated?

Four factors: platform (iOS/Android/both), feature complexity, backend requirements, design level.

Cost tiers

Simple app — $1800 - $4000

Static or one-way content (catalog, menu). 5-10 screens, push, search. 30-45 days.

Mid-level app — $4000 - $11000

Delivery, e-commerce, taxi, ordering. Payment integration, real-time notifications, user dashboard. 60-90 days.

Complex app — $9000 - $30000+

Taxi-like, video, real-time chat. GPS tracking, multi-role. 90-180 days.

Native vs Cross-platform

Native (Swift/Kotlin): separate codebases, maximum performance, ~2x cost. For games and high-performance apps.
