mobile devices.

Cost of Developing Social Media App:
Mobile app development cost is measured by the average hourly rate a developer would
typically charge or the salary they would pay a typical resource with proven domain
expertise. But it is practically not feasible for a single application developer to do it
alone. Product development, be it a social media app or any other app or website
development, is a team effort.

Cost for Social Media App Development for Android — based on the developer’s
average hourly rate
The cost may vary depending on the location of your application developer. While it is
around 60% in the US, you should expect to pay around $ 40 to a Canadian developer,
the developer in Germany may cost you around $ 30, whereas for an Australia-based
developer you may have to shell out $ 28 and the cost can drop to around $ 25 for
developers located in India.
Let’s describe the overall cost of application development by setting an hourly rate of $
40 as the cost (based on the average cost of the Ukraine and India markets). With these
known values, the total cost to develop an application (on a platform) similar in
functionality to Facebook would be around $ 155,000.
