Tourism is one of the largest industries in the entire world. Nowadays, there are many conveniences for traveling on a larger or smaller budget, which is why travel has become one of the most popular leisure activities, whether it’s a vacation to a nearby city or a wonderful trip to another continent. In the conditions of the globalization of the tourism sector, mobile applications are noted before and after, giving preference to planning trips to any point in the world. That is why in this post we will talk about the development and a travel app development cost and how they stimulate tourism and facilitate its planning.
How much does app development cost?
So let`s begin our journey in the app development backyard. The cost of travel mobile app development is one of the big unknowns that clients always have when starting an app development project.
First of all, it should be kept in mind that mobile travel apps are all different and in most cases are created specifically for each company, so the fact that the app is unique will mean an increase in its price.
Moreover, it is approximating the price of an app without the details of how you want it to grow or its features are a bit tricky, as there can be significant differences depending on what you want or how you want to build. For all of this, the answer to how many apps development costs will “depend”, although we can usually tell you that it can range from $1,000 to $50,000, it can be even more. A priori, this range may seem too wide, but to know how much a mobile app costs, we will have to consider numerous factors, which we will see further down in this post.
What factors affect the cost of app development?
As we said earlier, there are various variables that affect the price of the program. Next, we will explain some of them, which, according to our experience, are the most important.
Application type
One of the main factors in calculating the price of an app is the type of app your business needs. This is one of the clearest points to get to adapt to each situation and user. At Perpetio, we develop native apps, hybrid apps, and web apps, and we’ll explain what each one consists of below.
- Native applications are those that are developed for each operating system in a certain way. These types of applications guarantee a user experience and take advantage of the capabilities of each device, as well as guarantee better resistance to the passage of time.
- Hybrid apps, on the other hand, mimic their performance as native apps, although the user experience may be compromised, and some more advanced features will require native development.
- And finally, web apps are websites that look like an app, but their instability depending on the browser makes the user experience worse than a native app.
As experts in mobile app development, the Perpetio team will advise you on the best technical approach for your project and what type of app fits your requirements, purpose, timeline, and budget. Trust us to develop your next app.
Operating System
Another factor to consider when calculating the price of an application is the operating system on which you want to develop the application. Developing an app only for Android or also for iOS, using wearables or integrating with a Bluetooth device is not the same, so the cost will be different. And, please, remember that the Perpetio team will advise and recommend you depending on the idea you have in mind.
Functionality
Depending on the functionality you want to have in your app, the cost of developing it will vary. Keep in mind that not all functionality requires the same effort from the person developing it or the same amount of resources. For example, displaying content and information does not take the same amount of time as it does to implement a payment system or integrate with a corporate ERP.
Integration
A common thing about a custom travel mobile app for a company is that it needs to be integrated with the existing systems in the company. At Perpetio, we believe that the success of a mobile application lies in being as integrated as possible with all company systems. For this, developing solutions using third-party APIs can be an excellent solution.
You also often have to develop your own control panel to manage the information generated in applications. With our extensive experience with integrations of all kinds, our team can help you with this task.
Application design
App design is one of the key factors in ensuring the success of a mobile travel app. Good design needs to have clear goals in addition to a good navigation structure and user interface and consider colors, images, icons, etc. All this to achieve simple navigation and the best user experience.
Development time
To know how much it costs to make an app, it is important to know the time spent on its development. In short, this factor together with the resources used will determine the final development cost. As for the time it can take to create a mobile travel app, it can range from a few months to even up to a year or more of dedication. All this depends on the complexity required by the application.
Other factors
Finally, we didn’t want to leave out other factors that, while not the most important, should also be considered because they can affect the final price of your app. Factors such as support or further maintenance of the tool, and in some cases marketing services related to the application, may incur additional costs.
All these factors affect the quality and final result of the tool. Therefore, we often advise to invest more in development to avoid possible surprises, which can be more expensive to modify.
