Assuming that the workload of developing an App is 200 man-days and working days (according to most App projects we have contacted, the workload of most App projects is about 150-250 days on average), we need to develop three platforms, namely Android, iOS and CMS. In the case of forming your own team, the personnel needed for the project are: a product manager and a project. According to the configuration of this person and the average market salary of each person, the following list can be obtained:
Product manager => Monthly salary: 10K Investment time: 10 days.
Project manager => Monthly salary: 12K Investment time: 10 days.
UI designer => Monthly salary: 8K Investment time: 10 day.
Android development engineer => Monthly salary: 10K Investment time: 50 days.
IOS development engineer => Monthly salary: 10K Investment time: 50 days.
Background development engineer => Monthly salary: 9K Investment time: 50 days.
Test Engineer => Monthly salary: 7K Investment time: 20 days.
Note: The salary of the above personnel is based on the salary of Guangzhou at the beginning of 20 16, and it is assumed that all personnel have about two years' work experience. People in different cities and different levels of experience will have great differences in salary. For example, the salary of developers from Guangzhou to Shenzhen will be higher, and the salary of developers with more than three years of experience generally exceeds 10K.
In this way, the cost of an App project with a workload of 200 man-days is about 10W, which should be close to the cost of 14W together with the expenses of employee social security, welfare, equipment, venue and personnel management, without considering the vacancy period of personnel, the cost of recruitment and the risk of the project for the time being. This is the price that a company that already has a mature App development team needs to pay. For a company that has no App development team and relevant development experience at all, this cost estimate needs to be at least doubled, and the development cycle will take a long time to basically achieve the similar effect of the former.
As far as most app projects are concerned, developing an App standard project requires developing a set of background management system (CMS)+ Android client +iOS client. The development cost of most projects ranges from1.2-250,000, and the specific price needs to be determined according to the functional complexity, quality requirements and which platforms to develop. In addition, individual part-time, team or studio, or professional app development company, there will be a big gap in the cost of quotation and the quality of development. General quotation cost: individual
So, what is the specific quotation reference standard of App when quoting?
Whether it is an individual, a team or a different company, the quotation evaluation method in the industry determines the quotation cost according to the workload, that is, how many man-days are needed for the development of the whole project and how much is charged per person-day, and the total development cost can be obtained by multiplying the two parameters. For example, to develop an O2O App project, Android (50 person-days) +iOS (50 person-days)+background management system (50 person-days), and the total number of developers is 1500. If the charge is1.2000 per person per day, the total development cost of the whole project is1.8000. Many outsiders can't understand how it costs so much to develop an app.
Learn from the industry, a simple analysis:
The staffing for developing an App project is very complicated.
It takes only one developer to develop a website, while it takes three developers to develop an app, which is usually three times the development cost of a website with the same function. The basic staffing of App project includes: product manager, project manager, UI designer, background development engineer, Android development engineer, iOS development engineer and tester. For a professional App development company, an individual or a team may hold several positions, so the quality of the developed project cannot be guaranteed. The labor cost of App development is higher than that of website.
Usually, a developer with one or two years of experience in developing Android or iOS will have a labor cost of around 65,438+0,000 (due to the high demand for development talents in the current market environment, the labor cost of technology development is also high). Usually, the basic labor cost of an app project will reach 6- 100000, plus employee welfare, equipment, venue, personnel management, marketing cost and business communication cost, basically the basic input cost of an app project will be around 12- 150000. For the time being, it does not include the vacancy period of personnel, the cost of recruitment, the risk of the project and other factors. This is the price that a company that already has a mature App development team needs to pay. For a company that has no App development team and relevant development experience at all, this cost estimate needs to be at least doubled, and the development cycle will take a long time to basically achieve the similar effect of the former. To sum up, how much does it cost to develop an app? It is necessary to comprehensively evaluate the functional requirements, quality requirements and which platforms need to be developed, so as to estimate how much manual design and development are needed to basically calculate the development cost of app.
There is an old saying called "a penny for a penny", which is also applicable to the industry of customized development of app. Of course, it is recommended to shop around when looking for an app development team. After all, there are still some cases in the industry where the package receiving team raises the quotation, and there are also many cases of low-price malicious competition, which also leads to the uncontrollable quality of many projects and the premature death of some entrepreneurial projects.
