Mobile Applications – Development Stages and Factors Affecting the Price

Mobile Applications – Development Stages and Pricing

Developing mobile applications has become a key component of the digital strategy for modern businesses. Companies invest in apps to improve user experience, optimize workflows, and digitize operations. At Prolink, we develop all types of mobile apps—from simple database-driven solutions to complex business systems and digital platforms. We have years of experience across industries and references covering all app categories. Our team supports clients at every stage—from initial idea and specification drafting to design, development, deployment, and maintenance.

Market Analysis and Defining App Goals
The first step in app development is understanding the problem the app aims to solve. Based on user needs and market trends, we define business objectives and how the app will fulfill its purpose. Prolink helps clients structure their ideas, identify core functionalities, and set realistic project scopes.

Specification Creation with Expert Assistance
Creating a detailed specification is the foundation of a successful project. Our experts prepare or assist clients in defining functional requirements, user scenarios, external system integrations, and other technical parameters. This ensures clear development direction and prevents unnecessary changes later in the process.

UI/UX Design and User Experience
Applying modern UX principles, we create intuitive, clear, and visually appealing user interfaces tailored to the target audience. Well-designed apps simplify usage and reduce the need for additional instructions, increasing user engagement and satisfaction.

Programming and Application Development
Depending on the project, Prolink uses modern technologies to build native apps (iOS, Android) or cross-platform solutions (e.g., Flutter, React Native). Our development team applies optimal approaches to ensure performance, scalability, and long-term code maintainability.

Testing, QA, and Preparation for Launch
App testing includes functional, security, UX, and performance checks. The goal is to ensure app stability across all devices and operating systems. Prolink handles everything needed for app store submissions, including technical documentation, promotional materials, and legal compliance.

Simple Mobile Applications (€3,000 – €10,000)
These apps have basic database functionality, a CMS/admin panel for content management, and push notifications. Examples include ready-made ordering systems, news publishing, simple business apps for data tracking and communication. Prolink offers ready modules for quick, secure delivery of these solutions.

Medium Complexity Applications (€10,000 – €50,000)
These feature multiple user roles, external service integrations (payment gateways, maps, email), real-time synchronization, and more advanced CMS. Examples include delivery apps, educational tools, internal team communication, customer support apps, and loyalty programs. Prolink has extensive experience in B2B and B2C projects in this category.

Complex Applications (€50,000 and up)
These are advanced systems that form the backbone of digital business operations. They include company and process management, document workflows, HR, finance, analytics, and more. Often, these are business platforms, intranets, or high-data B2B/B2C services. Prolink develops entire ecosystems—from mobile clients to backend infrastructure, integrating ERP, CRM, or other corporate systems.

Long-Term Support and Maintenance
After launch, we provide ongoing support, new feature development, and technical assistance. Prolink also offers training on CMS and app administration, along with SLA agreements for clients requiring high availability and rapid issue resolution.
