Pricing
Most studios hide this behind a contact form. Here are real numbers, what moves them, and how offshore pricing compares to a US or European agency.
A production-ready mobile app built by AppVion Studio costs $12,000 to $35,000. A first release with a focused feature set typically lands between $12,000 and $18,000 and takes 8 to 12 weeks. Multi-role operational platforms — dispatch, approvals, live tracking, payments — run $20,000 to $35,000 over 12 to 16 weeks.
Before committing to a build, a Product Clarity Sprint from $1,500 over one to two weeks produces the scope, workflow map, and technical direction needed to price the work accurately. Redesigns of an existing app start at $6,000.
All figures are USD starting ranges for a studio based in Multan, Pakistan, working remotely with clients worldwide.
Every engagement is fixed price. The figure is agreed after the scope is clear, and delivery runs against milestones you can inspect rather than status reports you have to trust.
from $1,500USD
For founders and teams who need scope, user flows, feature priority, and a realistic launch roadmap before commissioning build work.
$12,000 – $35,000USD
For serious mobile products that need strategy, interface design, Android or Kotlin Multiplatform engineering, backend integration, and launch refinement in one accountable motion.
from $6,000USD
For existing apps that feel dated, confusing, slow, or hard to trust and need a premium product experience upgrade without a full rebuild.
from $900/moUSD
For products that are live and still moving. Maintenance, monitoring, and a steady flow of small improvements rather than a big-bang second version.
The largest single variable in software pricing is not the app. It is where the engineers sit. The same product specification produces wildly different invoices depending on the team's cost base, and a large part of a Western agency's rate funds sales, account management, and office overhead rather than engineering.
| Where the team is | Hourly rate | Typical production app |
|---|---|---|
| United States agency | $150 – $250 | $100,000 – $500,000 |
| Western Europe agency | $80 – $150 | $60,000 – $150,000 |
| Eastern Europe agency | $50 – $100 | $40,000 – $100,000 |
| AppVion Studio (Multan, Pakistan) | $45 – $65 | $12,000 – $35,000 |
| Commodity freelance marketplace | $10 – $25 | $3,000 – $8,000 |
Comparison figures are drawn from published 2026 industry pricing guides, including Netguru, TechAhead, Velvetech, and Pakistan market reports. They are indicative ranges for a comparable product, not quotes from those firms. AppVion's rate sits at the top of the Pakistani market rather than the bottom — the studio competes on judgement, not on being the cheapest bid.
Screen count is the weakest predictor of cost. These seven factors decide almost everything:
Third-party accounts are always registered in the client's name. If the working relationship ends, nothing needs to be transferred and nothing can be withheld.
A production-ready mobile app costs between $12,000 and $35,000 when built by AppVion Studio. The same product costs $40,000 to $100,000 through an Eastern European agency and $100,000 or more through a US agency, because the largest single cost driver in software is where the engineering team sits, not the app itself. Simple apps with a handful of screens and no backend logic can land below $12,000, and multi-role operational platforms with live tracking and payments run to the top of the range.
A Product Clarity Sprint, from $1,500 over one to two weeks. It produces a workflow map, a prioritised feature list, a technical direction, and a realistic launch plan. Most cost overruns happen because a build started before anyone agreed what was being built, so the sprint usually saves more than it costs.
Because the team is in Multan, Pakistan, and the studio is small. There is no account management layer, no sales team, and no city-centre office to fund. Senior engineering rates in Pakistan run $40 to $80 per hour at the top tier compared with $150 to $250 in the United States. AppVion charges a blended $45 to $65 per hour, which is the top of the local market, not the bottom.
Fixed price, in almost every case. AppVion quotes a fixed figure per engagement after the scope is clear, and delivery runs against milestones. Hourly billing transfers all the estimation risk to the client and rewards a slow team. The exception is open-ended iteration after launch, which is better suited to a monthly retainer.
Third-party costs that belong to the client and are paid directly: Apple Developer Program at $99 per year, Google Play Console at a one-off $25, and any hosting, database, mapping, SMS, or payment-processor fees. AppVion sets these accounts up in the client's name so the client owns them outright.
Budget 15 to 25 percent of the original build cost per year for maintenance across the industry. On a $20,000 build that is roughly $3,000 to $5,000 a year for keeping the app current with OS releases, store policy changes, and dependency updates. AppVion's care and iteration retainer starts at $900 per month and covers both maintenance and ongoing feature work.
No. Engagements are split across milestones, with a deposit to begin and the remainder released as each milestone is delivered and reviewed. The client sees working software at each stage rather than a status report.
The client does, in full, on final payment. That includes the source code, the repository, the store listings, the backend accounts, and the design files. AppVion does not retain a licence or hold accounts hostage.
