Custom iPhone Applications

Custom iPhone applications are the hottest thing going right now - how much should a custom iPhone application cost?

Christopher Stolee has seen freelancer websites with custom iPhone app jobs listed for as low as $500.00 - can't imagine you're going to get much quality work done for that. So you get a low budget app done by a part time student - when your company's app crashes 50% of the time, how are you going to explain to your boss that you know the app is crappy, but you saved a couple of thousand dollars? And the college kid is nowhere to be found. Check into getting your app done by a company with real world business experience and Fortune 500 clients.

A very basic app with limited function may cost about $5 thousand with a more complex iPhone application costing $10 - 20 thousand. The sky is the limit if you need a lot of animation, interaction with a website marketing program or a lot of user metrics. For apps like the New York Times and the Obama election app you may be talking $50 thousand to $100 thousand plus.
