What could the development of a Mobile Application cost?
Many people have the idea that the work of developing a Mobile Application is simple, but there is really a lot of effort, dedication, art and hours of sleep behind the Analysis, Design, Development and Implementation of a page, a web App, software or in this case In the case of a Mobile Application, I tell you that in order to understand what the development cost of a mobile application is, the first thing we must know is the programming cost.
The price of developing a mobile application depends on many factors and taking into account that the cost per hour of many jobs for Engineers and Graduates in the US and Latin America depending on the rank and position are around $35 and $180 dollars per hour, they are not the better paid salaries since there are cases where payments rise to $200 dollars per hour and those are big words.
