Mobile app development price in Chittagong, with the real numbers up front — not a 'depends, let's meet' runaround
Most Chattogram owners asking for app prices get a vague proposal and a quote that only appears after three meetings. I do the opposite. I'm RH Fardin, one senior developer who designs and builds the whole thing myself, and the mobile app development price in Chittagong starts at 50,000 BDT — published, not hidden. This page tells you exactly what each tier buys before you ever message me.
Starts at 50,000 BDT. Tiers: 50,000 / 90,000 / 1,50,000 BDT, custom from 3,00,000 BDT. 50% advance, 50% on launch. ~5 years building, every screen coded by me.

Every Chattogram business owner who messages me about an app opens with the same three words: 'app banate koto taka?' It's the right question, and most developers dodge it — 'depends on requirements, let's set a meeting.' That dodge usually means the price moves to whatever they think you'll pay. So I'll answer it flat: the mobile app development price in Chittagong with me starts at 50,000 BDT, runs through 90,000 and 1,50,000 BDT tiers, and genuinely custom builds start at 3,00,000 BDT. Now I can spend the rest of this page on the part that actually matters — what changes that number up or down for a port-city business.
Here's the thing most people in Chittagong don't get told: you probably don't need a native Play Store app to start, and that's the single biggest lever on price. A trader off Sheikh Mujib Road who wants customers to browse a catalogue, place an order and pay via bKash does not need a 5-lakh native app.
A well-built progressive web app — installs to the home screen, works on a cheap Android over patchy Agrabad 4G, opens like an app — does the same job and lands at the 50,000 BDT floor. When someone in GEC quotes you lakhs for a 'mobile app', a lot of that figure is native iOS plus Android plus the Apple and Google store overhead you may not need yet. Knowing the difference is what keeps the mobile app development price in Chittagong honest.
I'm RH Fardin — the only person who touches your project. Around five years writing code and shipping for Bangladeshi businesses: importers, garments suppliers, clinics, shops, real estate. The mobile app development price Chittagong owners pay me is lower than an Agrabad firm's not because the work is thinner, but because there's no office on GEC More, no sales team, no project manager forwarding your WhatsApp to a junior. You message me, I scope it, I design it, I code it, I ship it. That stripped-out overhead is the discount — and you also stop paying for the friction of explaining a port-city, Khatunganj-trade business to someone in Banani who's never stood in Agrabad traffic.
And if your real budget is under 50,000 BDT, I'll tell you on the first call instead of squeezing your idea into a number that ships something broken. For some early-stage Chattogram businesses the honest first move isn't an app at all — it's a fast mobile site plus a solid WhatsApp ordering flow, and I'll say so. I'd rather lose the job than hand you a half-app that dies before the next Eid rush and lands on someone else's desk to rebuild. The price below is for work I'll stand behind, not the cheapest thing that technically counts as an app.
No 'packages starting from' fog. These are the real tiers for mobile app development in Chittagong — what the number buys, and which Chattogram business each one actually fits.
An installable progressive web app for a focused job: a catalogue with enquiry, a single-service booking, a menu-and-order flow. Works on cheap Androids over weak port-city signal, with a bKash or Nagad number wired in. The honest entry point for most first-time Chattogram app buyers.
A real multi-screen app: product or service catalogue, user accounts, order or appointment history, push-style notifications and a manageable admin panel. The tier where a growing Agrabad shop or clinic actually starts running operations through it, not just showing a list.
A complete app with proper online payment (bKash/Nagad/SSLCommerz checkout, not just a number to copy), order tracking, roles, Bangla-English structure and an owner dashboard. For a Chittagong trader or importer ready to take real money and real volume through the app.
Native iOS + Android, distributor or buyer portals, live order tracking, ERP or inventory integrations, multi-vendor flows. Where genuinely bespoke port-city logistics or wholesale operations live. Quoted only after we scope it — I won't pin a number to a moving target.
Three things move the price: native vs PWA, real payment checkout vs a manual bKash number, and how many user roles or admin screens you need. I'll walk you through which of these your business actually requires — and which you can skip for now to stay near 50,000 BDT.
Whatever tier you pick is a defined scope at a fixed number. No 'bhai aro 30,000 lagbe' in week three. New ideas mid-build get quoted as a clear add-on you approve first — so the price you agree is the price you pay.
The biggest cost lever, by far, is native versus PWA. A native app means two separate builds — iOS and Android — plus Apple's 99-dollar-a-year developer account, Google's one-time fee, store review cycles and ongoing maintenance for two codebases. That's where the lakhs in a typical GEC or Agrabad quote come from. A progressive web app is one codebase that installs to the home screen, runs offline-ish on a cheap Android, and skips the stores entirely — which is exactly why my floor can sit at 50,000 BDT.
For a Chattogram catalogue, booking or order app, the PWA does the real job and saves you the native premium until you've actually proven demand. I'll only push you to native when your case genuinely needs it — like a logistics or wholesale app that has to use the phone's hardware in ways a browser can't.
The second lever is payments, and in Bangladesh that's the part owners underestimate. A manual 'pay to this bKash number' block is nearly free to add — it sits inside the 50,000 BDT tier. But a proper in-app checkout, where money moves through a bKash, Nagad or SSLCommerz gateway with order confirmation, refunds and reconciliation, is real integration work and pushes you toward the 1,50,000 BDT tier.
After that it's the boring multipliers: every extra user role (customer, staff, admin), every admin screen, every report, and any third-party integration — your existing inventory system, a courier API, an accounting tool — adds build time and therefore cost. Tell me which of these you truly need on day one versus what can wait, and I'll keep the mobile app development price Chittagong businesses pay as close to the floor as your actual requirements allow.
The number isn't a mystery — it's the sum of decisions you get to make with eyes open.

The real price questions Chattogram business owners ask me before they commit.
The mobile app development price in Chittagong with me starts at 50,000 BDT for a starter progressive web app — a focused catalogue, booking or order flow that installs to the phone. The 90,000 BDT tier adds accounts, history, notifications and an admin panel. The 1,50,000 BDT tier is a full app with real in-app payment, order tracking and an owner dashboard. Genuinely custom builds — native iOS and Android, portals, integrations — start at 3,00,000 BDT, quoted after we scope it. Payment is always 50% advance, 50% on launch.
Two reasons. First, a lot of their quote assumes a native iOS-plus-Android build with store overhead and two codebases to maintain — for most Chittagong businesses a single progressive web app does the same job and lands at 50,000 BDT instead. Second, you're not paying for an office on GEC More, a sales team, or a project manager forwarding your messages to a junior. It's just me building it. Same senior work, none of the markup or the layers.
For most first apps here, yes. A progressive web app installs to the home screen, opens full-screen like a native app, works on cheap Androids over weak signal between Agrabad and the port, and handles catalogues, bookings and bKash ordering perfectly. You skip the Play Store wait and the native premium. You'd only need a true native build for things a browser genuinely can't do well — heavy offline use, deep hardware access, certain logistics features. I'll tell you honestly which camp your business is in on the first call.
It depends which kind. A manual 'pay to this bKash/Nagad number' block — with number masking and a copy button so customers actually use it — fits inside the 50,000 BDT starter. A full in-app checkout where money moves through a bKash, Nagad or SSLCommerz gateway with confirmation and reconciliation is real integration work and sits in the 1,50,000 BDT tier. Tell me how you want to collect money and I'll tell you exactly which tier that puts you in.
Never the whole amount up front. It's 50% advance to start, 50% on launch day before the app goes live — so you always see real progress before the second payment. The advance can come via bKash personal, Nagad, bank transfer, or international wire if you're a diaspora-owned Chattogram business paying from abroad. You get a proper invoice with a transaction reference field so it goes through your books cleanly.
Fine — but it's handled cleanly so the price never quietly creeps. Whatever tier you start on is a fixed scope at a fixed number. If you want something new mid-build, I quote it as a clear add-on with its own price, and you approve it before I build it. No surprise 'bhai aro lagbe' calls in week three. The figure we agree at the start is the figure you pay, plus only the add-ons you've signed off on.
