    I recently started freelancing. I have a portfolio with several works from my college. Some projects were compelling. On the stock exchanges, clients offer not suitable pay. Maybe there are some fresh UI / UX designers here. What determines the cost of mobile app design? :laugh:

                  There is no definitive answer to that question. Every projects requirements would need to be assessed and costed. You could break it down to the number of views needed, database interactions and service interactions and then cost each one, then the general rule used to be to double it and double it again. This will then price you completely out of the market.

                      It depends on what type of design you want for mobile app development. Different mobile app design and development companies charge differently based on the design complexity.

                        Overall, the development cost of creating a basic app lies in the range of $20-30K. But you can minimize the costs by prioritizing features to include into your mobile app Minimum viable product.

                        If we have a closer look at the pricing range, we'll see that it's logically more expensive to build a complex app that a simple one. This is mainly because the estimated time in hours is less with a simple application.
                        A simple app doesn't include API integration and back-end. It consists of basic UI component and simple features like social login. The total development time starts from 400+ hours

                        Moderate apps, on the other hand, include custom UI/UX features, build-in payment gateway as well as API integration and back-end server. Naturally, it takes longer to build such apps - from 500-800+ hours.

                        Finally, complex applications feature multi-language support, 3rd-party integrations as well as custom animations and sophisticated back-end. UI/UX design is naturally customized. As for the working hours, it takes somewhere 800-1500 hours to create such apps.

                        Beside the app's complexity, the hourly programmer rate is the key component that comprises the cost of developing a mobile app. Hourly mobile app developer salary varies across the globe, with the USA and Canada having the highest hourly wages.

                          Cost of mobile app development can vary greatly, especially if it is a completely custom application. Here's a guide that will help you understand factors that impact the cost design and development: How Much Does It Cost to Develop Custom Software: 2020's Expert Guide[^] Hope it helps! :)

                            Of course, depending on the application, for example, I made an application for example this site and the cost was $ 1000, I don’t do it professionally, just a good friend asked, I did))

                              how about try glideapps or quickbase? There are also lots of no-code and low-code platforms.

                                Well, it depends on the app you are intending to design, so nobody can say the accurate price. By the way, there is a great idea to create a face editing app, it seems to become so popular nowadays.

                                  Use this formula for the cost calculation: hourly rate x number of hours spent = app design cost. for instance, if you need UI/UX app design close to Uber's and your designer charges $50 per hour x 246h (max design time) = $12300 (UI/UX design of IOS and android apps). Of course, these are all approximate calculations, for which you need to understand the work, the qualifications of the designer, the country in which you are participating as a designer, and so on. I recommend this [article](https://www.cleveroad.com/blog/how-much-does-it-cost-to-design-a-mobile-app/), it covers all the basics of calculating the cost of applications

                                    Use this formula for the cost calculation: hourly rate х number of hours spent = app design cost. For instance, if you need UI/UX app design close to Uber's and your designer charges $50 per hour x 246h (max design time) = $12,300 (UI/UX design of iOS and Android apps). You can read this guide about the [cost of designing an app]([https://www.cleveroad.com/blog/how-much-does-it-cost-to-design-a-mobile-app/\](https://www.cleveroad.com/blog/how-much-does-it-cost-to-design-a-mobile-app/)). Much depends on the region and application design requirements.
