The world is getting connected through the smartphones and due to the applications in it. The increase in smartphone use has boosted the business opportunities for startups and entrepreneurs. Startups and business are looking forward to developing an application to attract customers and increase the reach of their products.


Before iPhone or Android mobile app development, startups or entrepreneurs need to conduct proper market research and validate the idea of building an app based on the market research and customer feedback. For this, the startup can first build Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to validate the idea and get customer feedback. As the MVP includes developing the new product or website with just limited and important features to satisfy early adopters. There are various benefits of building an app for the business such as


  • Helps to create brand awareness and build stronger brand

  • Helps to connect with the customers in a better way

  • Increases customer interaction with the business

  • Helps to gain better Return On Investment (ROI)

  • Enhance User Experience (UX)

  • Easy and affordable access to vast information about business and products, etc.

Startups need to find the answers to many questions before developing an app. Including how long it takes to build an app? how much app costs? and What are the common reasons for startup failure? etc. Here are important questions that startups need to answer before building an application for the business.


How To Protect The App Idea?

The startup or entrepreneur has a great idea for an app, but it is important for startups to ensure that the idea is protected and no other business or product launches it first. Here the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) helps the startups to protect the idea. Hence, most of the startups request for NDA when they first reach out to the mobile app developers or mobile app development companies. The mobile app development company or the developer needs to have some basic information before signing an NDA.

The startup first needs to share the non-proprietary information about their app idea or business. The non-proprietary information includes the goal of an app, similar apps in the market, platforms on which the app is to be developed, budget and timeline for developing the application, etc.

Which App Platform To Be Used To Build The App?

The startup, after validating an idea needs to decide on the platform on which the app will be built. For example, iOS, Android or Windows Phone. The startup can decide on the basis of the most used and popular platform in the market. The startup can build the app on Android, as it targets the customers or individuals who use Android devices.

The company or the startups can also choose iOS mobile app platform for application development, based on the usage and business goals, as according to some research data iOS users engage more and also spend more per app. Hence, the company needs to consider various factors before deciding the platform to build the app.

How Much Will The App Cost?

The application features and the platforms influence the cost of an app. An app can cost more for the startups with the big idea. For startups, it is important to consider the factors that help in determining the budget and also compare the app development costs charged by different iPhone and Android mobile app development companies.

The cost of the app also depends on the company that startups choose to build the application. The big mobile app development companies charge anywhere from $500,000 to $1,000,000, while the mid-sized or small company or the freelancers charge significantly less. The startups can also select the offshore app development as the charges are less, but it has its own challenges and risks.

How Long Will It Take To Build An App?

The time taken to build the quality apps is usually 4-6 months. There are various technologies and techniques using which the mobile app development company can build the app faster. The mobile app development includes its own process i.e. strategic planning, UX, design, development, testing (manual and automation testing) to find bugs and flaws, app submission to the app store, deployment and launch. The startup should always select the mobile app development company or developer who follows the process of app creation, as it ensures that app meets its goals and provide better user experience.

There are various factors and process of the app development that determine how long will it take to develop the app. The startups need to select the best app developer or the development company to eliminate the risk of investing huge amount and getting poor results.

The startups need to research and get the answer to the above-mentioned questions, as getting answers to these questions can determine the success of an app in the app store. Besides these questions, the startup will encounter more considerations during the app development, hence the company should plan properly before going for the iPhone or Android mobile app development.
