App Development FAQ
How long does it take to develop an app?
Typical app development project will take 3 to 8 months to complete. Each phase mentioned above (Concept, Design, Develop, Deploy) can take from 2 to 8 weeks of duration depending upon the complexity.
What is the cost of developing an app?
Average cost of developing an app in Singapore ranges between S$20,000 to S$30,000. This is based an an assumption that customer needs the app on both IOS and Android platforms.
What is the difference between native app and hybrid app?
Native IOS app works only on Apple devices (iPhone, iPAD etc). Native Android app works only on Android devices. Hybrid or Cross Platform apps will work on both. Native apps will have separate code for IOS and Android. Hybrid app will have only one code, which can work on both IOS and Android (and Windows as well)
What is app maintenance? How much will annual maintenance cost?
Maintenance is to ensure smooth working of the app after deployment. Many things will change over time, like new versions of Operating System, new devices etc. You will need someone to look after your app as these changes happen. Annual maintenance cost is typically 10% to 20% of development cost
Is there a way to deploy an app only to our company staff?
Yes, this is possible. If you don’t want general public to access the app, you can make it available on private links. It can be on your company website. Zoliotech does this way for many companies in Singapore.
How do I select a good vendor for my app development?
As in any other procurement, track record of the app development company is most helpful. Being a software work, local presence is desirable. Interact with vendor representative, check their company website, look for reviews and feedbacks on the internet, check if the company has done similar apps in the past, are some of the common ways.
Other Software Services we offer in Singapore
