Hey Kirk - Does your client want you to build the ap on a fixed price? If so I strongly suggest that you refuse! You might reasonably build a proto-type on fixed price. Its impossible to guesstimate accurately without some sort of functional spec or use cases, but if your client wants both a mobile instance for the iPhone and a Web-based interface that interacts with desktop and Webmail clients it's hard to imagine building a (primitive) prototype for less than 20K-30K at the low end. And that would also imply using off shore developers. Hope that's remotely helpful, Richard ------Original Message------ From: Kirk R Cameron Sender: webproducers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: webproducers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ReplyTo: webproducers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [webproducers] iPhone App budgets Sent: Sep 15, 2009 3:35 PM I was wondering when a client was going to ask me this and it finally happened. I have a non-profit client that has a pretty strong idea for an App and they asked me how much development/build and launch would cost. Can anyone give me a range of budgets they've seen and rough turn- around times? I know it's an obtuse question. The only specific info that may impact these figure will be that the App must interact with Contacts and Phone so it will dig a little deep into the Apple iPhone OS.
