How Much Does an App Cost?

A simple template-based app starts around AED 5,000, a scoped MVP typically runs from AED 15,000 to AED 60,000, and a feature-rich custom app usually lands between AED 60,000 and AED 300,000+. The exact figure depends on platforms, features, and design — which is exactly what the free tailored estimate pins down.

A cross-platform app (Flutter or React Native) is built once and runs on both stores, so you avoid paying twice. Separate native iOS and Android builds genuinely cost up to double, because the same features are implemented in two codebases.

The cheapest credible route is a scoped MVP: cut down to the single feature that proves value and test demand before spending on polish. No-code and template apps start even lower, but you trade away custom features and long-term flexibility.

Budget roughly 15–20% of your build cost per year for maintenance — servers, updates, OS compatibility, and small fixes. Apps that skip this quietly degrade: crashes, store rejections, and security issues.

Advertised "from" prices cover a defined starter scope. Real quotes reflect your platforms, integrations, authentication, admin panels, and design — the parts that actually make the product. A precise quote follows a requirements review, not a starting price.
