Usually, people think that developing an app is very expensive, but what is not known is that there are different ways you can build an App and there are things you can do to make it way cheaper and accessible to anyone with a great idea, and that’s what we are talking about today:
1 – Not all Apps are available for every mobile phone and that is a tip to make it cheaper.
If you have a low budget or a fast deadline, you may want to develop for one platform to start like Android or iOS.
If the app is successful in one platform you can develop for the other platforms at a later time.
That means, your App won’t be available in all places for all types of mobile phones to start, but the process will be faster and cheaper.
If you have more money available, you can go for the “Hybrid” option which allows you to develop an App for both stores, iOS and Android, at the same time using only one technology.
We will show you an example of an app developed only for the iOS App Store:
Easy Finance was developed by our company Ace Digital Labs and every single thing in it was made to improve people’s lives with very practical and intuitive features.
Now here is an example of a Google Play App:
It is important to remember that you need to take this choice very seriously, according to MobiLoud, Android controls about 88% of the mobile device market worldwide, and Apple owns most of the rest.
But that does not mean you should go for Android right away because, like Business Insider said, Apple users tend to spend twice on apps vs Android users.
So take a step back and analyze what would be the best option for you.

2 – You can make it cheaper by making the right choices about the App Design.
You can simplify your app and reduce the number of buttons, because the more you add the more complex it gets and becomes more expensive. It’s that simple.
Also, there is the possibility to use buttons from the native platform that will also help your pockets.
But do not overstep, an app that lacks user-friendly features will hardly be accepted and downloaded. It is great to have some references in mind such as color and fonts you imagine your app with.
Here at Ace Digital Labs we count on a full team that can work with you on your budget and needs, so you don’t have to go looking for professionals separately.
3 – Apps are not a thing you develop once and it is done forever.
Like everything in life, Apps need updates as well, circumstances change and you’ll always need to improve it in some way.
That means that you can start a simple app today, or as it is called, an MVP that goes for Minimum Viable Product, and eventually upgrade it with fuller functions, buttons, all you want.
It is important to make an MVP first because that will also allow you to understand better, what users are really searching and if your App is filling those expectations.
4 – You can earn money from your app in various ways.
One of the options here is to display your App in the store with a price, so every time someone downloads it, he/she will pay for it already.
You can also choose the option to display a free app but with “premium” settings inside of it that can only be unlocked with payment. We call it IAP or In app purchase.
You can allow advertisements in your app, that way the business that wants to be featured will pay you for it.
There is even the option of sponsorship where a big company gets interested in your app and starts to sponsor you.
We will launch soon a new post about all the ways you can monetize an App, so stay tuned.
