How much does an app cost in India?
The honest answer is that it depends on what the app needs to do. Here is how we price apps at LeadCapp, what pushes the cost up or down, and how to get a fixed quote you can plan around.
MVP: from ₹30,000
A first version with the core features of your idea, an Android app or web app, secure login, a simple admin panel and launch support. Typical timeline: 3 to 5 weeks. Best for founders who want real users testing the idea quickly.
Growth: from ₹75,000
Android and iOS apps plus an admin web panel, separate customer, staff and admin roles, payments, notifications and AI features where they help. Typical timeline: 6 to 10 weeks. Best for businesses building a product customers use every day.
Scale: custom quote
Marketplaces, multi-vendor platforms, custom AI and automation, integrations with your existing systems, and cloud infrastructure built for high traffic. Priced from your requirements, typically 10 weeks or more.
What changes the price
The number of screens and user roles, whether you need iOS as well as Android, payments and integrations, real-time features like live tracking or chat, and how much custom design is involved. Starting with a focused MVP and adding features after launch is usually the cheapest way to get to a great app.
Running costs after launch
Plan for Play Store and App Store developer accounts, hosting and any paid services the app uses, such as SMS or maps. Our support plans start from ₹3,000 a month, and your first month of support is free.

What is the cheapest way to build an app?
Start with an MVP that does one job well, launch it to real users, and add features based on what they use. Our MVP package starts from ₹30,000.
Why do app quotes vary so much between companies?
Quotes differ in what's included: design, iOS, admin panels, payments, testing, store publishing and support. Ask for a written scope so you can compare like for like.
Do I pay everything upfront?
No. An advance confirms your start date, and the rest is paid in milestones as design, development and launch are completed.
Are there monthly costs after launch?
Yes: store developer accounts, hosting and any paid services the app uses. Optional support plans start from ₹3,000 a month, with the first month free.
