How much does it cost to build a business app in Egypt?

Updated: 2026-10-23

There is no single price for a business app in Egypt: simple tools cost less and large platforms cost more. The price depends mainly on the number of screens and features, whether you need Android, iPhone or both, and the admin panel behind the app. A written quote after a free call gives you the exact price for your idea.

What kind of project is yours?

SmallBusiness websites, small online stores and simple tools.
MediumA first version of a mobile app, booking systems and business software for one team.
LargeLarge custom platforms with many user types, payments and connections to other systems.

What drives the cost

  • The number of screens and features
  • Payments, maps, live chat or tracking
  • Android, iPhone, or both
  • An admin panel to manage content, users and orders
  • Connections to other systems, such as accounting or stock software
  • Design effort: standard screens cost less than a fully custom design

Costs people forget

  • Hosting and servers, which are paid every month
  • App store fees: Google Play charges a one-time registration fee and Apple an annual developer fee
  • Messaging costs such as SMS or WhatsApp notifications, if you send many
  • Maintenance and updates after launch

How to spend less

  • Start with the few features that matter most, then grow
  • Launch on one platform first, based on where your customers are
  • Use a website if you do not need an app yet
  • Write down your features before asking for quotes

How to get a fair quote

Describe your idea and the features you need, then ask for a written scope with a price and a timeline. Compare what is included, not only the total. A good quote lists the screens, the admin panel, hosting, support after launch and how changes are handled.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest way to get an app?

Start with a mobile-friendly website, or build only the core features first. Both lower the first cost.

Are there monthly costs after the app is built?

Yes. You pay for hosting, and you should plan for maintenance and updates. The yearly Apple fee and messaging costs may also apply.

Why do quotes differ so much?

Quotes differ because the scope differs: the number of features, the design level, the platforms and the support included. Compare the same scope.
