What changes the price
- Platforms: a cross-platform framework such as React Native covers iOS and Android from one codebase.
- Feature count: each integration — payments, chat, maps, offline mode — adds build and test time.
- Design depth: custom UI/UX is a separate line from the build.
- Back end: if the app needs accounts and data, the API work is scoped alongside it.
