Mention the objectives or the parameters critical in determining the time frame of developing a mobile app.
How much effort in terms of time goes into developing the front end and back end of a mobile app?
What are the key parameters to be considered before selecting the right platform for a mobile application?
Which platform do you suggest your clients to begin with when they approach you with an idea (Android or iOS) and why?
Android or iOS, Native or Hybrid — which platform is best to use to build your app? What are your recommendations?
Regarding the technology, both Hybrid and Native have their specific advantages. Hybrid, on the one hand, costs around 25 to 30% lesser in comparison to native, whereas UI/UX while processing development in native is way better than one processed in Hybrid.
What are the key factors that you consider before deciding the cost of a mobile application?
a). Architecture and API
b). The research involved
c). Business Logic
d). Technology (Native or Hybrid)
e). App Security
What kind of payment structure do you follow to bill your clients? Is it Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone (could be in phases, months, versions etc.)
a). Fixed Cost Model - Where we assess the available feature set in terms of effort and timeline required, complexity and the architecture involved. Based on the same we determine the fixed cost of the project. This cost is divided into many milestones involved, and on successful completion of that milestone, we ask for the associated cost.
b). Time and Material Model - This model comes into picture when there is a lot of research involved, or the project scope is not frozen to that extent so as a fixed cost could be determined. So, within this model, we have a fixed monthly charge that is levied upfront for each month for the number of developers that are being deployed. If there happens any change within the number of developers, the project cost will vary accordingly.
Do you take in projects which meet your basic budget requirement? If yes, what is the minimum requirement? If no, on what minimum budget you have worked for?
