Mobile app development cost in 2026
15.07.2026
The cost of a mobile app depends on scope, users, platforms, integrations, and the plan for future growth. This guide helps you prepare a useful brief before discussing a budget.
What affects mobile app development cost?
The estimate depends on the first-version scope, target platforms, backend, integrations, and whether the product supports one simple flow or a larger multi-user service.
Simple mobile apps: when is a smaller budget enough?
A simple mobile app can focus on one task, such as reporting, booking, a service catalogue, task lists, or selected content. It usually does not need many roles, complex integrations, or a separate admin panel from day one.
Indicative cost ranges for 2026
These net amounts are indicative only and are not a binding Flexisoft offer. Scope, security, integrations, and the delivery plan determine the final estimate.
- PLN 20,000–40,000: a simple single-platform app or proof of concept with one main process and limited backend.
- PLN 40,000–80,000: a focused MVP with key screens, login, basic data, and a foundation for later development.
- PLN 80,000–160,000: an iOS and Android app with backend, admin panel, and key integrations.
- PLN 160,000 and up: a larger product with payments, multiple roles, automation, or company-system integrations.
How to reduce cost without losing value
- start with one high-value user flow,
- choose one platform or a cross-platform approach,
- defer less-used features and integrations,
- validate scope through a workshop or discovery phase.
