I wrote this myself (Director at Budventure).
I keep getting asked: How much does a React Native app cost in the US?
I wrote down the common price ranges and the reasons that usually change the costs. I also added a one-page PDF checklist you can download.
The checklist includes:
- What to include in the first version (and what to skip)
- How screens affect cost (logins, payments, maps, video, etc.)
- Choosing Expo, and when you need to write your own code.
- Backend and admin work people forget to count
- Testing and app store release work
- Ongoing monthly costs after the app launch (hosting, SMS, maps, analytics, crash reports)
- Contract items that matter (source code access, change requests, ownership)
If you share your main features and any third-party services you need, I can tell you what parts usually get missed in quotes.
