Maintenance and Updates: The cost of developing an iOS & AndroidMobile App also includes ongoing maintenance and updates. Regular bug fixes, updates, and compatibility with new OS versions are all factors that contribute to maintenance costs.
Development Team and Location: The cost of hiring developers varies based on their experience, expertise, and their location. Developers in different regions have different hourly rates, therefore affecting the overall cost of developing a Mobile App.
