About 65% of e-commerce orders placed are through the app. This fact shows the importance of the app while analyzing consumer behavior, So it is no surprise I have been asked many times as to what would be the cost to develop an e-commerce app like Amazon or Flipkart.
Deriving the cost of development for an e-commerce app is not a simple process and depends on many factors such as
· Features list to be implemented
· Features complexity
· UI/UX Design
· Backed Technology Requirement
· Location of Developer
The UI/UX design for any app development is a subjective thing and would vary based on the quality of work one can offer so it is difficult to derive the cost of UI/UX development.
