How Much Does a Mobile App Cost in Bangladesh?

"How much for an app?" has no single answer, and anyone who quotes a number before asking what the app does is guessing. A catalogue app with a contact button and a ride-sharing app are both "a mobile app". The work behind them is not remotely the same.

What actually moves the price

• Screens and user flows: every screen has to be designed, built and tested
• Android only, iOS only, or both
• The backend: accounts, data, an admin panel and the API the app talks to
• Payments (bKash, Nagad, cards), OTP login and push notifications
• Real-time features such as chat, live tracking or video calls
• Design: a ready template, or screens drawn for your brand

The half people forget: the backend

What you install on the phone is only the visible half. Logins, orders, payments and notifications all live on a server, and someone has to manage them from an admin panel. A quote that covers only "the app" will grow later. Ask whether the backend, the admin panel and the hosting setup are included.

Costs that continue after launch

• Google Play and Apple developer accounts, in your own name
• Server and database hosting
• SMS for OTP, and payment gateway fees on each transaction
• Updates when Android or iOS release a new version
• Bug fixes and small changes as real users start asking for things

How to keep the first bill small

Start with the version that proves people want the app, not the one with every idea in it. For most businesses we build with Flutter, so one codebase runs on both Android and iOS. And if your customers will open it once a month, a fast mobile website may do the job for less.
