How much will your app cost?
Your estimate depends on the work needed to design, build, test and launch your first release. We start with your business goal, who will use the app and the features they need.
Apps and portals often take hundreds of hours to design and develop. A bespoke project under £7.5k is unlikely; very simple requirements may be possible, but most of our projects cost more. This is a starting point for a conversation, not a fixed-price package.
For a detailed explanation of scope, pricing models and running costs, read our guide to the cost of building an app.
From an early estimate to an agreed scope
- Share the essentials. Tell us the problem, the users and the most important jobs the app must do.
- Discuss a ballpark. We explore your requirements and explain the assumptions behind an initial cost estimate.
- Plan the detail. If the approach and budget fit, we can help you define the scope and work towards an itemised cost. Quickstart App Planning is a separate planning service.
- Choose the first release. Agree what is included, what can wait and how delivery and future changes will be priced.
What to include in your app quote request
- Your business goal and the people who will use the app.
- The essential features for the first release.
- Whether you need web, iOS, Android or offline access.
- Existing systems to connect and data to import.
- Any designs, research or software already available.
- An indicative budget and target date, if you have them.
An incomplete brief is fine. Tell us what is undecided and we can discuss the questions that affect the estimate. Ask us to separate build costs from hosting, support and third-party running costs so you can plan beyond launch.

What Our Clients Say
Scorchsoft helped us take our idea for an app and make it a reality. Everything from the planning meeting to decide what we really needed to the project management and execution was great. It was delivered on time - early in fact - and on budget. Highly recommend.
Rebecca PalserDragonfly IntelligenceScorchsoft is a brilliant company with fantastic knowledge of the mobile app industry. From the project management to the development team, they have been the perfect candidate for our project, and we can't thank them enough!
Lance ChorltonGapped OnlineWe're really pleased with the work Scorchsoft has done in developing our web portal! They have been accurate with timelines and budget, delivering a solid product that allows us to monitor and manage patients remotely while they use our novel medical device at-home. The "plan - design - build" approach has worked well and saved us time in the long-run by catching requirements and issues early.
Daniel GreenSensTrainI'm really pleased with how my app came out, it was exactly what I was looking for. The team at Scorchsoft are great at what they do and made the whole process as simple and easy as possible. Being someone who is not very tech savvy the set up and back end operations were done in a great easy to use manner even for myself which makes using my app stress free. Thanks to all the team!
Ruben CarrollMosaic MasterpiecesThe new Flourish Education website has already removed a lot of manual processes, freeing up both schools, candidates and internal employees time. We are delighted with the look and feel which is clean, professional and more engaging. We are also pleased with the decision to have an HD video background on the homepage, and building immediate trust with our clients by giving them a taste of what it looks like in the Flourish Education offices.
James HancocksMarketing Manager, Flourish Education I can't believe how quickly we started to see results with this project. Scorchsoft provided us with graphic-designed mockups of how the app would look once built, and we were able to sell the product for use by our first customer before the product was finished. Since launching in March, we have secured a major television network as a client who now uses Image Approvals to manage the talent approval process for their productions.
