NextEraSolutionsMobile App Cost Calculator
A realistic budget range and timeline in about 2 minutes. No email needed to see the number.
What are you building?
≈ half the price for the same scope, at our planning rate
An indicative estimate. We'll confirm it on a short call.
An honest model, not a magic number.
Hours × a planning rate
We size the scope in engineering hours (a base for your app type plus each feature) and price them at a blended planning rate of £45/hour. That is an estimating figure, not a single price: our rates are per engineer, about $30–90/hour depending on seniority.
What moves the price
Platforms, design depth and regulated-sector compliance multiply the hours. The biggest lever is always the feature list.
Why a range
Before discovery an estimate is honest only as a range: we show ±15% around the scoped midpoint and confirm it on a call.

Frequently asked.
UK agencies typically charge £80-£150 per hour, which puts a solid business app at £100,000 or more. Pocketworks, a UK app agency, quotes agency day rates of £650-£1,200 (about £81-£150 an hour over an 8-hour day) and cites The Wow Company's BenchPress 2026 report for an average UK agency rate of £122 an hour: Pocketworks, “UK app development costs in a nutshell” (checked September 2026). Next Era Solutions contracts through an Estonian company, and its engineers work remotely across Europe. Our rates are per engineer, about $30–90 an hour depending on seniority, and this calculator plans at a blended £45 an hour, roughly half the UK agency rate.
It is a scoped ±15% range built from engineering hours per feature. After a short discovery call we send a written proposal. The calculator's job is to give you a realistic starting point, not a contract number.
The feature list, then platforms (two fully native apps add about 70%), design depth and regulated-sector compliance. Cutting scope to a focused MVP is the fastest way to a smaller number.
We can usually staff a team within one working week. A design-first phase gives you something concrete to react to before you commit to the full build.
Yes. Legal, insurance and finance are our focus niches. We plan for compliance, data protection and line-of-business integrations like Proclaim from day one.
