Every successful business is running its own mobile app these days. And because the businesses are growing in number daily, the demand for app developers is also increasing. And because of this, various companies are opening up which offer services for mobile app development.

Since this is so much in demand, you will find very flexible rates for app development. Now, if you are a company who is looking for developing the mobile app, you have 3 ways in which you can proceed. And each way will cost you differently. So depending upon what kind of business you are in, and what your budget are, you can go ahead with any of the chosen ways.

Outsource the application

If you are a small company who just needs an app for information, then you can easily outsource the mobile app development part. There are various companies who are excellent in mobile app development. For this, you can get your app built in $500 also, or $10,000 also, depending upon the complexity.

This is a very ideal option if you don’t wish to work on the app regularly and just need one for information purpose only.

In-house development

If you are a big company, such as Zomato, you definitely need an in-house team for app development. Since you would need to continuously maintain and manage it, having an in-house team makes much more sense. You can hire the number of developers based on the requirements and sections you have.

Now if you look at the cost of this part, it depends on 3 factors.

• Your budget
• Number of developers you wish to hire
• Salary of developers based on their skills

You can decide upon the salary based on the skill requirement you need. There is no dearth of app developers in India. So, you can get good developers in your team at a relatively low cost as well.

Contract team

If you don’t need to update your application regularly, rather occasionally, then going for contract is a great option. You can look out for companies who manage various projects on contract basis. These companies would have a great experience working on long term mobile app development projects.
