Mobile app development projects may take hours or years to complete, depending on various factors. The focus will be on the average cost to build an iOS app and an Android app that can be considered whether there is any difference between iOS and Android development in terms of time, factors, requirements, and money.

A Comparison of Android vs iOS App Development Cost
1 - Cost As Per Hourly Rates
The cost of any application depends on how long it took to build a mobile app and also the technology used in the process. Now, Android apps are developed using the Java programming language, whereas iOS applications are based on Swift and Objective-C. It is observed that the developers of the latter languages can charge from% to% more in comparison to Java developers. This shows that Android apps are less costly than iOS in this regard.
2 - App Designing
The difference between the time spent on developing engaging and intuitive UI Design for both Android and iOS apps is minimal. What is more, there is a lot of room for experimentation and innovation in the Android application development due to the flexible guidelines of Google.
3 - Testing Process
When it comes to the testing of Android apps, it can be a challenging task for the developers. As opposed to the iOS app development, an Android application needs to be tested across numerous screen displays and resolutions to get more unified and better user experience.
4 - App Launch
Due to the strict Apple Guidelines, it becomes arduous for developers to get the application cleared. Whereas Google does not have restricted entry. However, the updated Google policy may suggest some strictness in the process of app selection. Additionally, Google charged $ as a one-time fee for publishing an app.
Android and iOS app development costs around the world
When it comes to the quality and cost of mobile app development, one of those items usually carries greater weight. When looking for a development team, people typically look to the USA, the UK, India, and Ukraine. In this article, the only thing we’d like to compare is pricing.
The average cost for app development for iOS with US and UK-based companies is $,. However, the actual price of your app can depend on multiple factors like the technology stack, architecture, scalability plans, and possible user journeys.
In Ukraine, the average hourly rate is typically much lower (around $ per hour) than in the US, and therefore the total cost of your iOS app will be lower. The same goes for Android app development.
India is popular for really low prices. For example, you can find freelance developers in India for $ an hour.
If you have your mobile app requirements, you might need to pay for development
$0 to $0 for a small size app,
$0 to $0 for a medium,
$0 to $0 for a complex mobile application.
However, this cost may vary depending on your particular app requirements and the factors that have been mentioned above.
