What will your app actually cost?
Most agencies answer that with “it depends” and a discovery call. Pick a white-label product or a custom build below and get an indicative price immediately, built on the same fixed prices we publish across the site.
Questions we get asked before every build
What's the difference between Managed and Buyout for a white-label product?
Managed means we keep the code, host it, and run it as your tech team — lower upfront cost ($3,000–$6,000 setup depending on complexity), then a monthly fee tiered by user count. Buyout means a higher one-time fee ($15,000–$18,000) for full source-code and IP transfer, no recurring cost, self-host anywhere. Managed is cheaper for the first year or so; Buyout is cheaper if you plan to run it for several years.
Can I switch from Managed to Buyout later?
Yes, after a minimum of 12 months on the Managed plan. The buyout price is discounted to credit roughly half of what you've already paid in monthly fees, down to a floor price — ask on your discovery call for the exact number.
How much does it cost to build a mobile app?
Matrytech builds fixed-price iOS and Android apps from $7,500, shipping in about four weeks. Apps needing custom integrations, real-time features or AI typically run $10,000–$25,000. The calculator on this page gives an indicative range once you pick your features.
How much does an AI agent cost to build?
A single agent with tool use starts at $15,000. A multi-agent system with memory, orchestration and enterprise integrations runs $40,000–$80,000. Every build is quoted fixed-price per project, never hourly.
Is the estimate the price I pay?
The estimate is indicative. The fixed price is agreed after a short scoping call, and once agreed it is the price you pay, no hourly billing and no scope-creep invoices.
What drives the cost of an app the most?
Real-time features. Live video, streaming and chat are the biggest single drivers, because they add infrastructure as well as interface. After that: number of platforms, third-party integrations, and any compliance regime such as HIPAA or SOC 2.
What happens after launch?
Most clients move to a maintenance retainer of $1,500–$3,000 a month, covering bug fixes, OS-update tracking, security patches and dependency updates. It is optional and cancellable at any time.
