Choosing App Development Company: It is quite difficult for people to find the best company to build an application for your project. Finding the perfect tech company is not as easy as it may seem. There are numerous app development companies available in the market, and choosing the best and reliable one is difficult. Once you finalized the company for your app project, then there is no going back option. So, choose the company very carefully. Before you choose the company, look at the company’s position in the market, check out the company’s reviews, and also check their portfolio and applications available in the app store.Choosing the company on the hourly-rate basis, then here are the cost of the company according to the country you choose:
• North America – $100-150
• Asia Pacific – $15-20
• Western Europe – $45-75
• Eastern Europe – $20-35

Platform you choose: Mostly business people are confused to choose the right platform that meets your business needs. This is the biggest question to go with, whether iOS or Android. There is no accurate answer as choosing the platform mainly determined by the business needs and the audience that you want to target.

If your target audience is located in Asia, then you must choose the Android platform first because the majority of the population there use Android smartphones. While if your target audience is from North America, then prioritize the iOS platform as your first app launch platform because mostly there are IOS users.

Apple has a devoted user base that is open to new apps, and also ios apps run consistently on all the devices.

Android app development takes more time and money to build a successful one that can run accordingly on all devices.

I recommended you to develop a native application that can run seamlessly on all the major platforms, and also it reduces the app development cost.

No. of features: The development cost depends on the no. of features and complexities of the application. The more you include elements in your application, the more the development cost would be. So, think wisely and include features that provide users convenience and comfort.
