Market price ranges by app type
| App type | Typical market cost (EUR) | Timeline |
|---|---|---|

| App + backend + auth + push | €8,000 – €25,000 | 2–4 mo |
| Complex (social, marketplace, booking) | €25,000 – €80,000 | 4–10 mo |

With us, the MVP Startup package costs €5,000–€15,000: one platform (web or mobile), authentication, 2–3 critical flows, payments and a minimal admin panel. Details are on the pricing page.
Estimates assume iOS + Android delivered together (cross-platform). Separate native apps per platform multiply cost by 1.5–2×.
React Native vs Flutter vs native
For 95% of business apps, React Native or Flutter is the right choice. Native Swift/Kotlin only when you need maximum performance (games, AR/VR, real-time video) or very specific hardware.
Do you actually need a native app?
If you don't need camera offline, BLE, or biometrics, a PWA (Next.js responsive web) often works at ~30% of mobile cost. No App Store review, works on any device, easier updates. We'll tell you honestly which path fits. Restaurants are a typical case: see what a restaurant ordering app costs on web first and on Android/iOS later.
Proof: Bebblo, our own app, rated 4.8★ on the App Store.
