How much does it cost to build an app?
Building an app is far more than writing code. We start from your needs, design the screens, develop, publish, then train you. At Kodex Production, this process starts at €2,990 excl. VAT for a custom app that you own for life. In traditional agencies, the same process often costs tens of thousands of euros. Any feature you add afterwards is priced item by item in your quote, with no surprises.
Possible features
Here's what a Kodex app can include. Every feature is priced clearly in your quote, never as a hidden extra:
- Booking and appointment scheduling
- Secure online payment
- Loyalty program
- Push notifications
- Customer accounts and profiles
- Click & collect and delivery
- Product or service catalogue
- Multilingual app
- Multi-location management
- Messaging and customer reviews
- Admin dashboard
- Native version on the stores
What affects the price of an app
- Features: a simple showcase app takes less work than one with booking, payment and loyalty.
- Format: a PWA (no stores) is faster to deploy than a native iOS and Android app.
- Custom design: the more your app reflects your brand, the more design work it requires.
- Integrations: online payment, multiple languages, multiple locations, connecting to your tools, and so on.
Native app, PWA or no-code: what's right for your budget?
There are three ways to build an app. Here's how they compare:
| Criteria | PWA | Native app | No-code solution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Installation | From the browser, no store | Via the App Store and Google Play | Depends on the tool |
| Starting budget | from €2,990 excl. VAT | On request | Endless monthly subscription |
| Ownership | It belongs to you | It belongs to you | Rented, never yours |
| Best for | Starting fast and controlling your budget | The richest experience and the stores | A very basic test |
Many businesses start with a PWA, then move to native once the app has been adopted by their customers. It's an excellent way to control your starting budget.
How long does it take to build an app?
The timeline usually runs from a few weeks to a few months, from mockup to launch, depending on complexity. We set a clear timeline from the start, so you always know where your project stands.

Our stance: an app that's finally accessible
At Kodex Production, a custom app starts at €2,990 excl. VAT as a one-off purchase. You own it for life, with no mandatory subscription or commission on your sales. Clear quote within 24 hours and a working mockup depending on the project: you see it before you commit.
Beware of "cheap" that ends up costing more. A very low-cost app is often a standard template you don't own, with an endless monthly subscription and sometimes a commission on your sales. Over time, custom work is often cheaper, and above all, it belongs to you.
