2. Low Complexity Apps: These are also small apps that use one or more of your phone’s native hardware or sensors, and also use cloud storage to store and sync data. They will likely cost between $15,000 – $25,000.
3. Medium Complexity Apps: These category of Apps have more sophisticated features, e.g. social networking features, status updates, user profiles, direct messaging, subscriptions and integration with an online database or web service and will likely cost between $25,000 – $80,000.
4. Large Complex Apps: These are sophisticated apps that perform multiple functions, use multiple hardware sensors and native camera hardware. They fit into an equally robust online web service with full administrative features and reporting. They will likely cost $80,000 or more.
