How much does a mobile app cost in Vietnam?
Short answer: a simple business app for iPhone and Android starts from about $1,000 (about 25 million VND) at Wecomax. The final price depends on what the app has to do, and you get an exact fixed price before any work starts.
Below is what actually moves the price, so you can plan a first version that pays for itself.
What makes an app cheaper or more expensive
| Factor | Why it changes the price |
|---|---|
| Number of screens | Every screen has to be designed, built and tested on many phone sizes. |
| Payments inside the app | Cards, bank QR or App Store purchases need a server that confirms each payment. |
| Accounts and sign-in | Sign in with Apple, Google or a phone number adds security work. |
| Admin panel | You will want to change prices, menus or bookings yourself, without a developer. |
| Push notifications | Reminders and offers need a server that sends them at the right moment. |
| iOS and Android | We build both from one code base, so you do not pay twice. |
| Release to the stores | Screenshots, descriptions, privacy policy and Apple / Google review. |
Start small: the first version
Most owners do not need every feature on day one. A good first version usually has:
- a catalog or menu with prices,
- ordering or booking,
- payment,
- notifications to you and your staff,
- a simple admin panel.
Loyalty points, reviews, chat and analytics can come in the second stage, after you see how customers use the app.
How we work on price
- You describe the idea in a few words — on wecomax.com you only leave a phone number and a messenger.
- Within a day we send a plan: screens, features, a fixed price and dates.
- We work in small stages. You see a working version in the first days and pay stage by stage.
- We release the app to the App Store and Google Play under your business account.
- You own the code and the accounts after payment.
Typical timeline: 2–6 weeks depending on the size of the app.
App or website?
If your customers buy once, a fast website is often enough (from about $300). An app pays off when customers come back again and again: cafés, spas, gyms, schools, delivery. If you are not sure, ask — we will tell you honestly which one fits.
What we have built
Our own products are live: LiveTalk, a voice translator app in the App Store, and NeoSIM, an eSIM store with an iOS app, a Telegram bot and a website in 10 languages.
