How much does it cost to design an app?
So you have a big idea and you've reached the stage where you're interested in knowing how much money you'll have to part with to get an app design? You're in the right place.
מחיר
It is important that you understand that the cheapest price is not necessarily the best value and in most cases it is even the other way around. As in any market, the competition here is tough and UI designers UX forced to lower their service to meet the competition. Discounting the services often impairs the holistic service that talented designers can provide you. Don't look for a cheap price for this work, look for the price that is reasonable for you and make sure you get the full value.
experience and talent
Look for designers who specialize in UI UX, who have experience and are focused on app design. Make sure you see live works (in stores) that you can notice and connect to the mind of the designer at the level of the user interface, the user experience and the implementation of the design in the application. I see the responsibility of the designer to beat this whole orchestra and put out an excellent product. At these stages, for me, a winning designer is also a product person.
What is involved in designing an app?
The visibility task includes quite a few elements, you don't have to accept them all, but know in advance what you are getting and what you are not:
Brand identity (mini branding) for the application and digital product
Quick branding for a digital product contains the elementary details needed to create a digital product.
Branding includes the following items:
Logo in different variations and in required formats. General graphic language. Symbols and icons concept. Fonts adapted for mobile + Web digital media. Color Palette. LISTING app store icon or software icon (shortcut). Mockup of three screens for commercial use. Digital stamp for email.
As part of the brand identity, my clients indulge in unique vector illustrations that will be used for the application and any other branding task in the product's life.
The branding products will be given to the customer in a PDF document and in a source file for future use to any sub-supplier that may require it.
Characterizing the UX user experience
characterizing the user experience (User experience), is a thought process designed to maximize the "stickiness" of the users of the digital product. The characterization of the user experience is intended to increase security and reliability and create a maximum level of use and intuitiveness for the end users. The process exists at this stage, in order to specify the various processes that the different users go through and to shorten them as much as possible in order to provide the user with an accurate, simple and professional profit experience.
The process includes: understanding critical points/points of failure in the user experience, interviewing different types of users, planning the intuitiveness, characterizing different processes for different users, creating a sequence of screens and cases and responses and under different conditions of use.
Design Design system
Advanced design processes require close cooperation between all the teams involved in the creation of the product. The creation of a design system enables a common language of all current and future design means and elements in one place, and the creation of a library that is updated in real time on a cloud. This process optimizes and improves the work and especially the schedules between the design team and the development team without sacrificing the quality of the user experience.
Creating a complete Design system environment and creating a unique line based on a safe and reliable, and familiar experience from the world of the digital product or enterprise, With reference to accessibility conditions suitable for each type of user. The design is adapted to a responsive desktop and mobile configuration.
Embedding the design to all screens
The design of all the screens and the implementation of the design system on all the design elements, Flows cases and responses / different users according to the characterization of the user experience and receiving a complete visual design concept of the screens as they appear in the characterization section user experience.
Micro interactions and illustrations
Micro interactions These are small pieces of animation that occur while using the digital product.
The animation accompanies and assists us in performing tasks, creating a simple and intuitive user experience. The animations are lightweight vectors and will be provided to developers in JSON format.
Integration with the developers
If you have chosen a designer who does not know the development company, I recommend that you buy a bank of up to 5 hours if there is a need for integration between the designer and the developers.
There is always something left behind, questions to be asked and files to be completed.
Diagnosing the usability of the user experience - Usability Test
The best first person to examine the result obtained after development is the designer you have chosen for the task. I always recommend buying a bank of a few hours and letting the person who designed and planned how your app behaves, check if that's what the poet intended.
Keep in mind that I come across quite a few cases where, after an application has been developed and is in stores, the entrepreneurs turn to me to examine the faults and barriers in the user experience that prevent the application from breaking through and succeeding.
Some questions that affect the pricing for the app design:
Is the application design intended for hybrid or native development?
For hybrid development, one and only design set is usually needed, which is then adapted by the development team for all end devices, for native development, two sets of designs must be produced (usually Android and IOS), which adds hours of work due to duplication and adjustments.
Is my product responsive?
You have fallen on a complex subject. Responsiveness is a whole world that refers to the dynamism of the design in the context of its visibility on different end devices or different resolutions. For example, it is desirable that a website works well in terms of user experience and are visible both on the mobile and on a desktop or tablet, in which case 3 breakpoints must be created where the design changes and adapts itself to the new size.
Another example, for example, of designing an application designed to work in horizontal and landscape mode, in such a case the designer has an additional task to examine changes in the design and user experience in order to adapt the application to these two modes.
Do I want the designer to cut the designs in preparation for development?
It is a sentence that is true to history, that we were still the designers, adapting the design to several sizes. Today's design platforms do most of the work for us, if the designer knows how to plan the work well. Good designers know how to perform the conversion and transfer the files in an optimal way to the development environment.
So, when it comes to app design, how much does it cost?
An hour of work for UI UX designers has a wide range of prices. The price depends on the experience, knowledge and professionalism you receive. A chest designer with experience may be expensive in working hours, but will provide you with the work in half the time you would get from other designers - this is a consideration that you must put in a time frame.
When it comes to designing applications, the cost of working hours ranges from 150 NIS per hour to 400 NIS per hour and even more.
In general, the design price for a complex application that has between 35-50 screens and includes all the sections I mentioned earlier can range from 15,000 NIS to 60,000 NIS in a period of three to five weeks of hard work by a UI specialist for applications.
Don't forget that the price is affected by many factors, such as the maturity of the characterization/ integration with the development team/ the quality of the designer and his level of experience and understanding of user experience and user interfaces/ the freedom of action he has and more...
The price of an application is not a one-size-fits-all matter. It is impossible to price an application according to the number of screens, but only after understanding the general concept and the required task. Find an excellent designer and let him take you where you need to go.

What fun it is to work with such a talented and creative man who brings to life the vision you dreamed of! We contacted Itay after many searches and dozens of exhausting meetings with designers who could not understand us. Happily, after one session with Itay, we knew this was what we were looking for. A designer and characteristic with a grace that listens to you and makes you precisely exactly where it is needed. Itai managed to make complex processes simple both in the product and in the communication with us. Thanks for everything; I'm sure we will meet again.
