Developing a business app can be an excellent idea to give a boost to your business, considering that the uses of such a product can be multiple and not necessarily aimed at your customers, given that business apps can also be useful for internal use of the company, perhaps to increase productivity. However, despite the many advantages, the costs must also be carefully considered. Let's take stock in the following paragraphs.
Let's get straight to the point. Costs depend on a long series of factors. First of all, you need to consider whether you want a web app or a mobile app. The added value of having a mobile appis certainly that of the availability of the service anywhere, as long as you have a smartphones. The web apps, consequently, are certainly cheaper but in some cases less functional. But what are web apps? How does a web app work? Basically, these are applications also available remotely that run on a server like any website. This implies that the installation does not take place on a single device and that anyone will be able to access it if equipped with the right credentials. In the latter case, therefore, the costs certainly tend to be lower.
When you are looking for a partner to rely on for the development of your mobile app, the choice is never easy. Unlike web apps, those designed and studied for mobile require greater expertise in terms of programming and knowledge of mobile devices, which is why research should always be oriented towards companies that have specific experience in their know-how in the app sectorfor mobile devices. TreDiPi, innovative IT company founded in 2015, offers itself as a reliable partner for all those SMEs looking for innovative solutions that favor thedigital transition, also leveraging products designed for mobile use oftechnology.
The answer to this question is not simple, at least in objective terms. Let's say that we need to consider the timing in terms of months rather than days. Then, the actual times must be evaluated case by case based on the complexity of the project and the analysis of some values. For example, what features should the mobile app have? What internal processes will it have to satisfy, and what will it have to be used for? Who are the end users? In short, during the design phase of the mobile app we will evaluate some elements that will allow us to make a rough assessment. We can certainly say that if the product is aimed at end customers, then greater care on the graphic level could push the times further forward.
It is worth remembering that in thedevelopment of IT software, as well as for the development of a mobile app, there is no language that is better than another, at least not in an absolute sense. If anything, there is a language that is more suitable than others to satisfy one's needs. Also for this aspect it is important to carefully evaluate the company you are addressing, because the partner can be considered reliable when he demonstrates the skills to be able to make a choice based on the specific needs of the company. Of course, Javascript is a widely used language today, as is Java which allows applications of a certain complexity. Let's reiterate: there is no language that is absolutely better than all the others. If anything, one thing to consider is the operating system you are targeting. The solutions are these:
The difference is substantial: in the first case, programming will be necessary for each device (as if they were two apps) in the second, programming valid for both.
When you have to evaluate the cost of a mobile company app, one item that needs to be taken into account is that necessary for publishing the app on the Apple and Google stores, for iOS and Android users respectively. We start from the assumption that these are not costs capable of creating an obstacle to the choice of creating this new channel of corporate expression, however it is always good to be informed about everything. In the case of the Apple App Store, in fact, the one-off cost is around 100 euros.
If we move to Android devices, the costs are even lower and are in the order of around 25 euros per year. The actual price, both in the case of Android and Apple, must always be evaluated based on the exchange rate between the dollar and the euro.
