How much does it cost to develop an eCommerce app?

There is no one fixed price for developing eCommerce development solutions. The cost varies from factors such as: The scope of your project : Including the amount and complexity of the app's features. Enterprise ecommerce development, custom eCommerce software development and tailor-made features, like AR shopping try-on or AI-based recommendation systems, might significantly increase the overall development cost. Therefore, you should always take advantage of the product discovery phase: a deliberate choice of the app's core features is critical to the efficiency and profitability of your eCommerce app. The choice of eCommerce app development platform : Depending on your customers' needs, you can go for native Android, iOS, or cross-platform development. Developing one native application is usually cheaper than creating a cross-platform solution. However, cross-platform frameworks (such as Flutter or React Native) allow brands to use the shared codebase to quickly develop, scale and effortlessly maintain multiple Android, iOS, web and desktop eCommerce apps. In other words: if you plan to reach wider audiences faster and cheaper, cross-platform might be a way to go. eCommerce app testing, post-delivery maintenance and technical support : Remember to include testing, maintenance and technical support in the development budget. These three steps are essential for your users' satisfaction and hence, sooner or later, will affect your business growth. Ensure easy-to-maintain, effortless UX/UI solutions, good technical documentation, thorough QA testing, and keep technical debt under control at all times.

UX/UI Design (4 - 6 weeks) : Usually, the design phase at Miquido covers the stages such as defining the product scope, preparing the design system, design validation and smooth handoff to the production team. Development (3 - 5 months) : At Miquido, we aim to deliver your eCommerce software's minimum viable product (MVP) within 3-5 months. Of course, any unplanned changes, a non-standard size of the application, or team outsourcing may cause a delay in your scheduled app development time.

When should I outsource eCommerce app development?

Outsourcing eCommerce development services can be an excellent option for businesses that lack the resources or expertise to build their in-house development team. Here are some situations when hiring an eCommerce app development company can also be a good choice: Time constraints : Developing an eCommerce app from scratch can take a lot of time and effort, which may not be feasible for businesses with tight deadlines. Cost constraints : Building an in-house team can be costly, especially if you need to hire eCommerce developers. Need for flexibility : Outsourcing usually is more flexible as you can hire developers for the project's duration only. Access to the latest technologies : Outsourcing allows you to access the latest technologies, tools, and techniques that may not be available to you in-house. Ultimately, the decision to outsource eCommerce app development depends on your business needs, budget, and timeline.

Interface of Play 24 - an account management app

About Play solution

Known for their mobile-first approach, Play, a Polish telecom giant, wanted to create a multifunctional service management app to let their customers control their accounts on the go. Starting from prototyping, our team developed Play24 - a mobile problem-solver for Android and iOS.

Users can manage transactions and check account details in seconds, securely and privately. Invoice payments, checking monthly data or managing numbers are only a tap away. Miquido equipped the app with safe payments and prepaid charging options as well as the comfortable access to user activity history. For fast and effective delivery, we worked in three teams simultaneously, each of them developing a separate feature.
