For Mirpur founders pricing an app before they commit
An app price is wide for a reason: a 'mobile app' can mean five different things, and nobody told you which one you're buying
When you Google "mobile app development price in Mirpur", the numbers come back so far apart they stop meaning anything. Someone in a Facebook group offers 25,000 taka. A small studio near Mirpur 10 says 1.2 lakh. An agency in Dhaka opens at 4 lakh and somehow climbs to eight by the second meeting. Here is what nobody tells you. Those aren't four prices for the same product.
They're prices for four very different things that share the same word. The 25,000-taka 'app' is almost always a WebView. That is your website crammed into a Play Store shell, and it breaks on the first Android update. The lakh-plus quote might be a real Progressive Web App. The agency number is a layered native build priced to feed a team. Until you know which one your business needs, every quote is just noise.
So the real first question isn't koto taka. It's what the app has to do, and who will open it twice. That's the talk I have on call one, before any number gets thrown around. A fabric shop on Mirpur 11 wants customers to reorder and pay by bKash. A coaching centre in Section 6 streams class videos to monthly students. A delivery business near Pallabi needs live rider tracking and an owner dashboard.
Each of those needs something very different. Price each one by what it must do, and the wild spread shrinks into something sensible. Price them by 'app banao' with no spec, and you get a guess. A guess is exactly how Mirpur founders end up paying twice.
My pricing has fixed tiers and no theatre. The floor is 50,000 BDT. A Progressive Web App or simple hybrid for a Mirpur business usually lands in the 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT range. That covers a menu or catalogue, ordering, bKash and Nagad checkout, push alerts and an install straight from a link. Where it lands depends on how much it has to do.
A truly custom app starts at 3,00,000 BDT. That means many user roles, live order tracking, payment matching and an owner dashboard. The published number is the number. No 'enterprise tier' appears after you've signed, and there's no 'sir, message koren for quote'. The mobile app development price Mirpur founders get from me is the same one written down before we start.
At any tier, you get an app built for how Mirpur really behaves. bKash, Nagad and cash-on-delivery sit in one checkout, because that is how Pallabi and Kazipara really pay. It is not a foreign template that assumes everyone has a card. Bangla and English share the same screen. The build stays light enough to open fast on the mid-range Realme and Samsung A-series phones your customers carry over patchy 4G.
And one senior, me, works on it from the first WhatsApp call to the Play Store submission. When you compare my price against a cheaper line on someone else's quote, you are not comparing two prices for one thing. You are comparing a finished, owned, working product against a gamble. I'd rather you see that clearly before you pay anyone, including me.
