Pricing

Shopify mobile app cost: we quote after a call, and we tell you when not to.

Every store's catalogue and design work is different, so a public price would be either wrong or padded. Here is everything that shapes the number, so the call is short and you are not surprised.

What changes the number

Five things, and you already know most of your answers

Catalogue size

A hundred products and ten thousand products are not the same sync, the same testing or the same navigation design.

How custom the design is

Starting from one of our layouts costs less than designing every screen from your brand book.

Live shopping

Video shopping is real production work on top of the app itself.

Languages

A second language is a second set of every string, and a right-to-left layout is a design pass, not a translation.

Anything unusual

Booking, loyalty rules, a barcode workflow, an integration your business depends on. We quote these honestly rather than hiding them in a tier.

The part other people leave out

When we will tell you not to buy one

An app earns its keep on repeat purchases. If your customers buy from you once and have no reason to come back, an app will not change that — and we would rather say so on a twenty-minute call than take the money and watch it sit unused.

Very low traffic — there is nobody to convert into an installer yet.
A genuinely one-off purchase, with no repeat and no reason to return.
A catalogue still being built — launch the store properly first.

Use the calculator before you call. If the figure it produces is small, that is the honest answer and it cost you nothing to find out.

Questions about cost

Do I need a developer, or any technical work on my side?

No. You connect your Shopify store and approve the design. We build, submit and publish. Nothing in your theme, your checkout or your existing apps is modified.

Why should I trust you over a larger platform?

Because you can check how long our work lasts, which is the thing a logo wall never tells you. The first app we published went live in October 2021 and is still receiving updates today, and the others have been maintained for years as well. A larger platform will show you more logos; ask how many of those apps are still being updated four years on, then ask us the same question.

What does it cost, and how do I know it will pay for itself?

Pricing depends on your catalogue size and how much of the design is custom, so we quote after a short call. Before that call, use the calculator on this page: put in your own revenue and ad spend and it will show you what repeat-purchase revenue you are currently leaving on the table. If that number is small, you do not need an app yet — and we will tell you so.

How the money is structured

Two numbers rather than one, and it is worth understanding the shape before the figure.

A build, not a subscription

The Shopify mobile app development cost is a project cost, paid in stages against the work. It is not a monthly plan that never ends, and that is the main difference between having an app built and renting one — over three years the arithmetic usually favours the build.

Maintenance afterwards

A smaller ongoing figure for Shopify mobile app support and management: keeping up with iOS and Android releases, fixing what breaks, and being reachable. Quoted as a line rather than discovered later.

What moves the number

Catalogue size, whether you need Arabic, unusual integrations, and how many screens differ from what we have built before. The Shopify app development cost for a straightforward catalogue and for a B2B store with account pricing are not close, and we would rather explain why than average them.

Is it affordable?

For some stores, honestly not yet — and affordable Shopify mobile app development that produces an app nobody installs is the most expensive outcome available. If your repeat-purchase rate is low, we will say so on the call.

Ask us as a consultant

The first conversation is Shopify app development consulting rather than a sales call: your numbers, an honest read, and a straight answer about timing. It costs nothing and it is frequently where a project gets postponed by six months.

Compare before you commit

A template on a monthly subscription is a real option and sometimes the right one. The three routes, with who each suits

Twenty minutes, and a straight number.

Tell us your catalogue size and what you want the app to do, and we will price it on the call.
