When it comes to building an app, discussing your app development budget shouldn’t be taboo
Here’s a common conversation about app development budgets that occurs when people reach out to us about creating a mobile or web app:
Client: “How much does it cost to create an app?”
Developer: “What’s your budget range?”
Client: “Oh, I don’t want to tell you”
There’s a definite taboo around talking about budget before estimation. Our experience is that clients often think that whatever number is spoken is suddenly the number that the project will cost. To us as your potential developers, however, understanding your budget range is a critical element to planning and approach to your project.
If you’re still in the early stages of figuring out your app development budget and have zero preconceptions about the cost of developing an app in Australia, you may not have established a set figure yet. That’s absolutely fine – but it’s important to at least have an expected app development cost in mind so that everyone’s on the same page.
