YOUR APP AT A FIXED PRICE
Transparent and step-by-step
How much app development will cost in 2026, what factors influence the price, and what ongoing costs will arise after launch.

How much does it cost to develop an app?
| Scope | Costs | Duration | Use Cases |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clickable Prototype | €5,500 | 10 days | Testable user journey for user or investor meetings |
| Simple app / MVP | €15,000–35,000 | 6–12 weeks | Clear feature set, two to three user roles — also available as a small platform with payment processing |
| Moderately complex app | €35,000–80,000 | 3–6 months | Multiple user interfaces, multiple system integrations |
| Complex system landscape | Starting at 80,000 € | 6 months or more | Many detailed functions, multiple stakeholders, requirements beyond the GDPR |
How AI Affects Costs
Most of our traditional programming work—code frameworks, standard functions, tests, and documentation—is AI-assisted. What remains is the work that determines the security and longevity of your app: designing, testing, and taking responsibility. It is precisely this shift that makes short development cycles and a reliable fixed price possible.
In the past
Today
Schematic representation: It shows where work is shifting.
Requirements
Previously, a time-consuming document that took weeks to complete
AI drafts it, humans review and refine it
Concept & Code
Previously the bottleneck: two developers, code written by hand
AI writes, a second reviewer checks, then a human reviews
Quality Assurance
Previously, test automation was built and maintained manually
AI drafts, a human checks and supplements
What Happens After the Launch
After the app is developed, the ongoing costs depend on how many system components your solution consists of and which services you use.
| Scope | Hosting & Software Licenses | Maintenance & Security Updates |
|---|---|---|
| Simple App / MVP | Starting at 75 € | Starting at 250 € |
| Moderately Complex App | Starting at 200 € | Starting at 450 € |
| Complex system landscape | Starting at 1,000 € | Starting at €2,500 |
