Building an app in the UK typically costs between £10,000 and £150,000+ depending on the type, platform, and features. The cost to develop an app varies based on whether you need iOS, Android, or a web app, the complexity of features, and whether you use a freelancer, an agency, or a dedicated development company like Tecaudex. Use our calculator to get a realistic cost estimate for your specific project.
Calculate Your App CostWhat affects the cost to build an app?
Every project is unique. Here are the key factors that determine your final development cost.
App type and platform
iOS, Android, or cross-platform (Flutter/React Native) apps each have different cost profiles. A cross-platform app typically costs 30–40% less than building native iOS and Android separately.
Features and complexity
A simple MVP with 3–5 screens costs far less than a full-featured marketplace or fintech platform. Every feature adds development time.
Design requirements
Custom UI/UX design adds to the budget but significantly improves user retention. Basic apps use templates; complex products need bespoke design.
Team location
UK-based agencies typically charge £80–£150/hr. Offshore teams with UK timezone alignment (like Tecaudex) deliver the same quality at significantly lower rates.
Ongoing maintenance
Factor in 15–20% of your build cost annually for updates, hosting, and bug fixes.
