How much does it cost to develop an On-Demand Delivery App?

On-demand delivery apps are quickly growing in popularity. Apps such as Uber, Shyp, Grocery Delivery, etc. are becoming the go-to apps for everyday needs. Before Uber, people would have to look up a taxi service for an area in the phone book, or more recently, on Google. Then, you would contact the company, explain your location, wait for the taxi to arrive, and scrounge for cash to pay the driver once you are finally at your destination. With an app like Uber, you open it up on your phone, turn on your phone’s location, select which credit card you want to pay with and then look for your driver to arrive within the time frame the app provides.

Cost to Develop On-Demand Delivery App

Now you may be wondering, “So, how much does it cost to develop an on-demand delivery app?” It’s true that the complexity of the app will affect the cost. However, for our hypothetical purposes, we will talk about costs for the average on-demand delivery app. To understand the app development costs, you need to think about what the app will need to be operational and successful. For an on-demand delivery app, you will need to first decide what features you want. Some of the more common features for this type of app are placing an order, scheduling and paying for a delivery, tracking a delivery, and rating deliveries. Others go further by adding features such as product searching and shopping and wish lists. All of these features take time to develop and test before an app goes live.

App Target Audience

So, what else goes into developing such an app? A lot of time and research is the basis of a great app. Learning what your target audience wants is a big first step. After that is determined, you will need to work with an app development team to decide what features will most effectively deliver your products to customers and grow your business (like the features mentioned above). Offering your services to people who need them is the ultimate goal. An on-demand delivery app is now the avenue to reaching that goal.

Estimates

All in all, even though different development companies offer different prices, the on-demand delivery app you desire can range (roughly) anywhere from $30,000 to $350,000. This includes the hours put in by an app developing team, testing of the app, etc. So, how can you offset the costs? The easiest way is by making sure your app will succeed. Some tips for making sure your app will succeed include, starting locally before expanding, promoting your app before it launches, earning the trust of your customers, and offering deals that keep your contractors happy. A reliable, useful, and easy-to-use app leads to success. Success equals profits!
