Mobile App Development Cost in Bangladesh: 2026 Pricing Guide

Short answer: in Bangladesh a simple business app (Android and iOS) costs about ৳60,000–৳1,00,000, an app with a real admin panel, CRM and payments ৳1,00,000–৳1,50,000, and a marketplace or ERP-grade app ৳1,50,000 and up. Yearly running costs (store fees, server, maintenance) add roughly ৳20,000–৳60,000.

The rest of this guide explains where that money goes and how to avoid the most expensive mistake: building features nobody uses.

Do you need an app at all?

Ask this first. An app is worth it when customers use you often: food ordering, bookings, loyalty, learning, delivery tracking, field staff. If customers buy from you once or twice a year, a fast website with WhatsApp ordering will usually earn more for less money.

What drives the price

Factor	Cheaper	More expensive
Platforms	Android only	Android + iOS + web admin
Users	One type of user	Customers, staff, admin, riders
Payments	Cash / manual	bKash, Nagad, cards, wallets
Backend	Simple database	CRM, ERP, reports, roles
Real-time	None	Live tracking, chat, notifications
AI	None	AI chat, recommendations, voice

Every row you move to the right adds design, development and testing time.

Price ranges with examples

Starter app (৳60,000–৳1,00,000)

A clean customer app with login, catalogue or services, booking or ordering, push notifications and a basic admin panel. Good for salons, clinics, coaching centres and restaurants.

Growth app (৳1,00,000–৳1,50,000)

Everything in a starter app plus a proper CRM: customer profiles, order history, invoices, staff roles, payment gateway and reports. This is where most serious businesses should start.

Platform app (৳1,50,000+)

Multi-vendor marketplaces, delivery apps with rider tracking, ERP-connected field apps, apps with AI assistants. Priced by scope after a discovery session.

Costs after launch

• Google Play: one-time developer fee of about $25.
• Apple App Store: about $99 per year, required for iOS.
• Server and database: roughly ৳1,500–৳8,000 a month for most small and mid-size apps.
• SMS/OTP and notifications: depends on volume.
• Maintenance: OS updates break things every year. Budget for it or agree a maintenance plan.

Cross-platform or native?

For most Bangladeshi businesses, a cross-platform app (one codebase for Android and iOS) is the right choice. It costs less, ships faster and is easier to maintain. Native development only makes sense for heavy graphics, advanced hardware use or very large scale.

How to keep your app budget under control

1. Start with one core job. Ordering, booking or tracking. Launch, measure, then add.
2. Design the admin panel first. Your team will use it every day; a bad admin panel costs more than a bad app screen.
3. Own your accounts. Your Play Console, App Store account, server and source code should be in your company's name.
4. Get a fixed scope in writing. Screens, features, integrations and what "done" means.
5. Plan the launch. An app nobody downloads is the most expensive app. Budget for marketing.

FAQ

How long does an app take? A starter app takes 3–5 weeks. CRM and ERP apps take 6–10 weeks depending on scope.

Can I update content without a developer? Yes. A proper admin panel lets your team change products, prices, banners and offers.

Will the app work on cheap Android phones? It should. Ask for testing on low-end devices, which is where most Bangladeshi users are.

Can my website and app share one system? Yes, and they should. One backend serves the website, the app and your admin panel.
