Is creating mobile apps profitable?

The ability of the developer (you or the one you hire) to understand these factors and create a high-quality product will play a large role in determining whether the app can make a profit. Again, there are companies that can help you with this part of the process but the more tasks you do, the less revenue you have to keep.

Once the app is available for download, you’ll need to make sure someone is available to respond to online reviews and answer user questions. This component of the process is another area that requires an investment of time, money, or both. The amount of energy you put into this effort will cost you, but it will also ensure additional sales as people leave better reviews. Often it is impossible to know whether this risk will pay off.

While there is no standard app development cost, you could end up paying more than $25,000 to design, develop, and deploy a good quality app. The cost will be higher if you hire someone to do the development for you, and even more if you decide to deploy across multiple platforms.

All of this effort and spending is still worth it if you expect a good return on investment (ROI), which you’ll want to do your best to estimate before going too far down the app creation path. At the end of the day, you need to carefully consider the areas mentioned here and then decide how lucky you feel.
