App Prototype & MVP FAQs

How much does an app prototype cost?

Clickable prototypes often start around $1,250 to $2,500 depending on the number of screens and flows.

Do I need a native app or a web app?

If customers will use it often and need notifications, device features or app-store presence, native makes sense. If you mainly need a fast, installable experience, a progressive web app costs far less.

How much does an app cost?

Simple progressive web apps can start around $4,000. Native iOS and Android apps with accounts, payments and a backend typically range from $10,000 to $37,500+.
