WHAT AFFECTS COST

Why app development costs vary.

01

Native vs cross-platform

Building native iOS + Android separately costs ~40% more than cross-platform (Flutter/React Native) but delivers better performance for demanding apps.

02

Compliance requirements

FCA, PCI-DSS, and NHS DSP compliance add 20–30% to development cost due to security controls, audit trails, and penetration testing.

03

Backend complexity

A simple Firebase backend is much cheaper than a custom API with real-time features, multi-tenancy, and complex business logic.

04

Post-launch support

Budget for ongoing maintenance (£1,200+/month) — OS updates, bug fixes, and feature iterations are not optional for live apps.
