Mobile Apps guides: frequently asked questions
- How much does it cost to build an app in India?
- Simple apps often start around ₹1.5 to ₹3 lakh, while apps with payments, real-time features or marketplaces usually cost ₹4 lakh and above. A focused first version keeps costs down.
- Should I build for Android or iOS first?
- In India most users are on Android, so many businesses start there. Cross-platform tools such as Flutter or React Native let you launch on both with one codebase.
- Native or hybrid app: which should I choose?
- Native apps give the best performance and access to device features; hybrid apps are faster and cheaper to build for both platforms. Most business apps work well as cross-platform apps.
- How long does app development take?
- A first version usually takes eight to sixteen weeks, including design, development, testing and store approval.
- What happens after the app is launched?
- Apps need bug fixes, updates for new phone software, security patches and new features based on user feedback. Plan a yearly maintenance budget from the start.
- Do I need a website as well as an app?
- Usually yes. A website helps people find you on Google and explains the app, and it is often the first step before someone installs it.
