Mobile app pricing, Gulshan
What a mobile app actually costs in Gulshan, and why nobody tells you upfront
Why can't you get a clear mobile app development price in Gulshan? Most quotes are written so you can't compare them, on purpose. One agency quotes a 'basic app' at 80,000 and another at 4 lakh. Neither will say what's inside. The vagueness isn't an accident. It lets them renegotiate after you've already paid an advance. I work the opposite way. You see the tier, the feature list and the number before any money moves.
Here's the honest floor. A real, store-ready mobile app starts at 50,000 BDT, and that truly is the bottom. Below it, you are buying a template or a glorified web wrapper that the Play Store will flag sooner or later.
From there it's three clear tiers. 50,000 BDT buys a focused single-purpose app. 90,000 BDT is for when you need accounts, content and a few moving parts. 1,50,000 BDT covers proper backend logic, multiple user roles and links to services like bKash or Nagad. Anything truly custom is quoted from 3,00,000 BDT. That means real-time features, complex dashboards or a system other apps plug into.
Gulshan buyers are a specific kind of client. You often run an established business: a restaurant, a clinic, a boutique or a service firm off Gulshan Avenue or near the lake. You've likely been burned before. Maybe it was an overpriced, foreign-feeling agency, or a cheap freelancer who vanished after the advance.
So I keep it boring and accountable. You pay 50% advance to start and 50% on launch. You also get a design-approval guarantee. I don't write a line of production code until you've signed off on how every screen looks. You're never paying for something you haven't seen.
I'm one operator with about five years of shipping apps, and that's the whole pitch. No account manager passes your idea badly to a developer in another room. When you message me about mobile app development in Gulshan, the person who reads it is the person who builds it. That's why my prices can be lower than an agency's and my answers faster. There's no extra layer to feed.
