Owners of IOS technology are of particular interest to businessmen who want to take profit to the next level. Why? Because this is a multi-million audience of potential customers with good purchasing power indicators. If you create an IOS application besides a site, you can communicate with clients using mobile gadgets, that are near them 24/7.
Advantages:
Convenience and style of the interface
Creation of a new distribution channel
Financially secured segment of the target audience
Increase in profit (through paid apps and monetization)
Formation of a positive reputation and image
Informing the target audience

Disadvantages:
Perhaps the only drawback of developing an IOS application is relatively high cost of creation.
Some people think that creating an IOS application is fabulous money, they say, we will invest 1000 dollars, and no one will even download our application. This scenario is unlikely to happen: the marketers, even at the concept development stage investigate the business niche, target audience and its desires/needs, competitors, and then decide on the feasibility of create an ios application. That is why, it is important to understand from the beginning if your application will be profitable or not, let’s analyze what determines and how much does it cost to create an ios application.
Developer’s portfolio
This is like a business card for a developer, who may have in his/her arsenal a large number of works, but rather primitive and mediocre. A good specialist is not the one who have done many, but the one who created qualitative ios applications.
Type of application
There are 3 main types of application: native, hybrid and web applications. Each one of them have specific elements, whose price can differ significantly.
Structured application architecture of IOS applications
A well designed code architecture when developing an IOS application is of course a significant plus. When a developer initially splits it into modules when creating an IOS application, implements an interface, this significantly increases the cost of an IOS application, but at the same time gives confidence that the work will be efficient, smooth, and most importantly the result will be the one you expected.
Interface design
An attractive design is 88% of application’s success. It is not an easy task to think over the design and the arrangement of all elements of an ios application in detail and requires a long and painstaking work, which significantly increases the cost of creating an IOS application.
Timing
Whether the application will be developed in 2 months or half a year, this will significantly affect the cost of creating an ios application.
In order to create an IOS application of medium difficulty, it is necessary approximately 200-400 hours, taking into account that the application will be developed by a team of developers, designers, content-managers and testers.
Is it possible to save money?
Of course, but you need to make sure that these savings don’t influence the final result. Reduce the list of requirements. For example, you can reduce the amount of implemented functionality or if you don’t need a corporate style you can get by with a template version.
