With the development of the mobile Internet, APP development has become the hottest topic at the moment. Countless people are looking forward to making the next magical APP software such as WeChat, Didi Taxi and so on. Today, the threshold for APP development is very low, and the media is full of stories of small teams creating miracles. However, is APP development really that simple? How much does it cost to develop an app if you start from scratch?
According to the data analysis of many APP development projects in Programmer Inn www.proginn.com last month, the average development cost of each 1.0 core version of the original ecological APP is about 50,000-100,000. If you don't understand program development, the first thing you should look for is not programmers, but the most critical role of "product manager" in the process of product development, because only when you have clear requirements can you know the specific development period of programmers. Of course, If you want to hire people to organize the development team, it is also possible, but this practice is limited to the case where the development cost is not considered.
The whole app development team is not just some programmers, it's a bigger team that keeps everything running smoothly, you can imagine a Broadway musical, the actors are in the foreground, but there's a lot going on behind the scenes. The same is true for developing an APP, which includes: project managers lead, product managers prototype, designers do visual experience, front-end engineers do chain processing, back-end engineers do function point development, and test engineers do product testing. Can the demander be the hand-lover shopkeeper? Obviously not, the customer demand side needs to check and accept each link to ensure the orderly progress of the overall project.
Why emphasize the value of two "pm" throughout the development team? PM here refers to project managers and product managers. The product manager is similar to the role of the director, responsible for the overall app conception, and the project manager is more like the producer, who needs to help customers to check the product and control the quality process.
Many developers also think that good designers are very important. In fact, when it comes to the development process, everyone is very important. At present, the development cost of the original ecological APP is about 50,000-100,000, and the matching programmers are all BAT level has more than three years of work experience, and is calculated according to the daily salary of 600 yuan per day, working 8 hours a day, the designer is charged according to the page, and the project manager is calculated according to the work seven days a week, the weekly salary is 1200. If the function point is not complicated, the development week is generally 6 to 10 weeks. Many people think that outsourcing is okay or cheaper, but according to our comprehensive dimensional analysis, if you blindly haggle the final app development that developers do to cater to the demand side, the quality is often difficult to guarantee.
"If someone says, I don't need so long, I can help you with APP development for 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, then he will definitely cut corners in some places."
Of course, development costs also depend on the specific app. Games are usually the most expensive because the code is more complex. In the development of an app, there are many factors that will affect the cost, such as: whether the app uses third-party APIs, whether the interface design uses the high-fidelity prototype provided by the system, whether the existing technology is used, and so on.
In many cases, you have to rely on luck to find a reliable outsourcing company to help you find APP development problems, but our Programmer Inn prefers to let more people test our development process. We believe in process segmentation and labor cost reduction. Quotation, high-quality developer orders, project manager control, and perfect communication with demand-side customers are the final decision on the cost of developing an app.
Many people will say that your offer is too expensive, so I suggest that you can organize your own ideas into complete project function point requirements, and then find an outsourcing company for comparison. In the case of original ecological APP development, we definitely have Confidence wins.
