That spread is why so many quotes feel impossible to compare. One agency prices a single user journey on one platform, another prices the whole product, and both call it \"your app\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide breaks the number down the way a project manager would: what you are paying for, what UK teams charge per day, which costs tend to appear only after you sign, and how much you can save by working with a certified development company in Spain instead of a London agency. All prices are in pounds and exclude VAT unless stated otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"at-a-glance\">App development cost in the UK at a glance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the ranges UK agencies publish for 2026. They come from agencies that sell development, so read them as market benchmarks rather than neutral data. They are still useful, because they show where quotes tend to cluster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Type of app<\/th><th>Typical UK agency price<\/th><th>Typical timeline<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody>\n<tr><td>Proof of concept or clickable prototype<\/td><td>\u00a32,000 \u2013 \u00a315,000<\/td><td>2\u20136 weeks<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>MVP, one core journey, iOS and Android<\/td><td>\u00a310,000 \u2013 \u00a365,000<\/td><td>6\u201316 weeks<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Production app for customers or staff<\/td><td>\u00a330,000 \u2013 \u00a3150,000<\/td><td>3\u20136 months<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Complex or regulated app (fintech, health, marketplaces)<\/td><td>\u00a380,000 \u2013 \u00a3250,000+<\/td><td>6\u201312 months<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><figcaption>Sources: <a href=\"https:\/\/magora-systems.com\/app-development-cost-uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Magora<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ecorpit.com\/mobile-app-development-cost-uk-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">eCorpIT<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/riseuplabs.com\/app-development-cost-in-the-uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Riseup Labs<\/a>, 2026 pricing guides.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The MVP row is the widest because the term means different things to different people. For one agency an MVP is a single flow on one platform. For another it is a product ready for paying customers. London and Manchester agencies sit at the top of that range, smaller studios outside the big cities at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-drives-cost\">What drives the cost to develop an app in the UK<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every quote is hours multiplied by a rate. The rate depends on who builds it. The hours depend on six decisions you make before anyone writes a line of code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Platforms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Building for iOS and Android with a cross-platform framework such as Flutter or React Native costs roughly 15% more than a single platform, based on the projects behind our calculator. Two separate native apps cost around 35% more, because you are paying for two codebases and two sets of testing. For most business apps, cross-platform is the sensible default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Features and how they interact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Push notifications or a camera upload are small additions. Real-time chat, offline mode, bookings with availability rules or anything involving AI are not. The cost rises fastest when features depend on each other: a booking that triggers a payment, which triggers a notification, which updates a dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Accounts, roles and the admin panel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A simple login is a few days of work. Several user types with different permissions, plus a back office where your team manages content, users and activity, can easily add several weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Back end and integrations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you already have an API, the app mostly sits on top of it. If the back end, database and architecture have to be built from scratch, that is often the largest single line in the budget. Each integration with your CRM, ERP or payment provider adds testing and edge cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Design<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard components and a clean layout are cheap. A full UX process with research, prototypes and a custom interface costs more, but it usually pays for itself in fewer changes later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Compliance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every UK app that handles personal data has to meet <a href=\"https:\/\/ico.org.uk\/for-organisations\/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UK GDPR<\/a>. Apps that move money or handle health data carry extra requirements, which is why agencies rarely quote FCA-aware fintech apps below \u00a3100,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A worked example: a booking app for a group of clinics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a physiotherapy group with eight clinics in the Midlands that wants patients to book and pay from their phones. The first version needs iOS and Android, patient accounts, a calendar per clinic, card payments, reminders by push notification and a simple back office for reception staff. It also has to read and write appointments in the practice management software the clinics already use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is one core journey, but with a payment, an integration and two types of user. Going by the ranges above, we would expect a UK agency to quote it at somewhere between \u00a335,000 and \u00a360,000. Leave out the integration and reception staff keep two diaries in sync by hand, which saves money now and costs time every day after launch. That trade-off is the kind of decision that moves a quote by thousands of pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"uk-rates\">UK developer rates in 2026: agency, contractor or in-house<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the scope is clear, the rate decides the final figure. These are the three options most UK companies weigh up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Agency:<\/strong> London product studios charge around \u00a345\u2013\u00a390 an hour and boutique digital agencies \u00a360\u2013\u00a3140, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/magora-systems.com\/software-development-cost-uk-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Magora's 2026 guide<\/a>. You pay for design, project management and testing as well as development.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contractor:<\/strong> the median day rate for mobile app contracts in the UK is \u00a3500, with the middle half of the market between \u00a3406 and \u00a3575 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.itjobswatch.co.uk\/contracts\/uk\/mobile%20app.do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ITJobsWatch<\/a>, six months to October 2026). Good for extra capacity, harder if you need a whole team.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In-house:<\/strong> the median advertised salary for a mobile developer is \u00a360,000 a year (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.itjobswatch.co.uk\/jobs\/uk\/mobile%20developer.do\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ITJobsWatch<\/a>). Add employer National Insurance, pension, equipment and recruitment, and one developer costs well above that. A first version usually needs more than one person.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In-house makes sense when the app is your core product and you will develop it every week for years. For a first version, most companies get there faster and cheaper with an external team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hidden-costs\">Costs that rarely appear in the first quote<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The build price is only part of the bill. These items are worth asking about before you sign:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Store accounts.<\/strong> The <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/support\/compare-memberships\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Apple Developer Program<\/a> costs US$99 a year and a <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/googleplay\/android-developer\/answer\/6112435\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Play developer account<\/a> has a one-off US$25 registration fee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hosting and third-party services:<\/strong> servers, databases, maps, SMS, email and analytics. Small at launch, they grow with your users.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maintenance.<\/strong> Plan for 15\u201325% of the build cost every year for OS updates, security patches and small improvements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Store commissions<\/strong> if you sell digital goods or subscriptions inside the app. Apple and Google both take a share, so check the current rates in each store before you set your prices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>VAT.<\/strong> Most quotes exclude it. At the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/vat-rates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">standard UK rate of 20%<\/a>, a \u00a340,000 quote becomes \u00a348,000 if you cannot reclaim it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"uk-vs-spain\">UK agency vs certified companies in Spain: the real cost difference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where the budget changes most. Spain has a large pool of experienced mobile developers, salaries well below London's, and only a one-hour time difference with the UK. Yeeply selects certified development companies there, matches each project with the one that has already built something similar, and supervises the work from start to finish. You keep a single point of contact and a contract with Yeeply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Project<\/th><th>UK agency<\/th><th>Certified company in Spain with Yeeply<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody>\n<tr><td>MVP, iOS and Android<\/td><td>\u00a310,000 \u2013 \u00a365,000<\/td><td>\u00a38,000 \u2013 \u00a320,000<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Business app with back office and integrations<\/td><td>\u00a330,000 \u2013 \u00a3150,000<\/td><td>\u00a320,000 \u2013 \u00a345,000<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Marketplace or complex platform<\/td><td>\u00a380,000 \u2013 \u00a3250,000+<\/td><td>\u00a345,000 \u2013 \u00a3100,000+<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table><figcaption>Indicative ranges, excluding VAT. The final price depends on the scope and is set in the proposal from the selected company.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The saving does not come from cutting corners. It comes from lower salaries and overheads in Spain. What protects quality is the selection: companies with a track record in your type of app, written milestones, and someone at Yeeply checking that each one is met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be wary of quotes that are dramatically cheaper than either column. As <a href=\"https:\/\/magora-systems.com\/how-to-choose-an-app-development-agency-uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Magora points out<\/a>, they often hide freelancers behind a UK invoice, and the cost appears later as rework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"estimate\">Estimate your own app in two minutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Answer a few questions about your app (platforms, accounts, payments, features and integrations) and the calculator gives you a price range in pounds, excluding VAT, based on what our certified companies charge.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"max-width:100%;margin:28px 0;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/calculadora.yeeply.com\/c\/how-much-does-it-cost-to-build-an-app-100e12\" title=\"How much does it cost to build an app?\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:900px;border:0;border-radius:16px;\" allow=\"clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"accurate-quote\">How to get a quote you can actually budget against<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Write down the one journey that matters most.<\/strong> For example: a customer books a slot and pays.
