开发商对Twitterrific这样的iPhone应用收费多少?

我想知道这一点,因为我需要这样一个具有相同功能的新社区网站的应用程序。我会Ruby,但没有Objective-C的经验。因此,如果我开始阅读有关iPhone编程的书籍,或者将工作外包给iPhone程序员,对我来说会很有趣。

以上所提到的价格是你希望支付给美国开发者的价格;然而,我确实认识一些人,他们可以通过离岸开发者以低至4000美元的价格开发自己的应用。

此外,卡拉·怀特写了一本很棒的电子书,讲述了她把自己的应用程序“内部秘密”外包给iPhone应用程序的过程。她谈到自己是如何得到一笔好交易的,因为她愿意与一个仍在学习iPhone应用程序开发的团队合作。

所以,除了上述开发者所讨论的高价游戏,我们还有其他选择。

I am an account exec at a web and mobile development company and hear this question everyday. Unfortunately, iPhone apps are not cheap. You can expect around $100 per hour if you are staying on US soil. I have seen some offshore Indian developers out there for as low as $20 per hour. It all depends on the number and complexity of the functions you wish the app to perform. Simple one function apps are normally around 4-5k. They are so expensive because you are paying a team of people a healthy hourly wage and any type of raw prototyping, development, and coding takes time. Apps can exceed 60-100k pretty easily. Southwest Airlines making an app with a full ecommerce platform that allows you to buy tickets over your phone is an example. All of that porting into their IT is a big job.

And offshoring the project is definitely not always a better option. If you do so you better know who you are dealing with. Do not get me wrong there folks over there who do a bad ass job for a way better deal, but they are not that easy to find. Those guys could fuck around for 5 months on a simple project that would take 6 weeks here, or just not complete it at all and hand it over half finished. I have seen this scenario many times where we finish the work. The project management becomes a challenge. It can be difficult to communicate exactly what you want the app to do.

iPad版《River of News》花了大约400个小时开发1.0版本,我不知道我的设计师花了多少时间(20-50个?)按照美国的劳动力价格,这至少是4万美元。但这种紧密的发展是可能的,因为它是一个人的操作。当你将编写代码的人和决定产品功能的人分开时,会增加大量的开销。

如果你打算把钱汇到海外,你最好确切地知道你想要什么。由于语言和时差的原因,在你探索可能性的时候很难进行迭代设计。

我是一名非常优秀的iPhone应用程序开发人员,我的服务收费超过每小时150美元。我在开发iPhone应用程序及其服务器端组件方面有丰富的经验。我也曾多次被叫去修复海外开发的应用程序。以下是我的看法。

Design costs money, good design costs lots of money. Expect several designer weeks of work per app screen. Offshore teams do not do design. Server development and infrastructure is critical if the app is to succeed. A slow server response, or an overloaded server will hamper your app, and crimp sales and satisfaction. The server side of the equation will cost the most and take the most time to develop. Those who offshore their server development will find that quality and uptime are both terrible, in my experience. App development if done right takes time too. A professional developer will ensure all HIG rules are followed, the app is properly structured and contains no known errors, it performs well, and it passes the app store validations. Offshore teams just cut code.

I'm just about to release a shopping app for a client. The design work was done by 2 client in-house designers over 2 weeks, quick because they had all the image assets already. Think 2 people x 10 days x 8 hours = ~$24,000. The server side had to be modified to provide data for the iPhone app. We used their in-house team and in-house platform and in-house API, 2 developers, 4 weeks, or about $50,000 and that's because they already have a web shop and API. Cost them about $400,000 to get there (excluding platform). And I wrote the app side in 3 weeks, given that a lot of my code is duplicated from previous projects, another ~$25,000, the cheapest app I ever did.

总花费:10万美元,这真是太便宜了!

他们会免费提供,这样客户就会用iphone从他们的商店购买。

对于你的应用程序,彼得,如果你有服务器、api和设计,我猜根据复杂程度需要3万到6万美元。如果你没有设计,加倍。如果你没有api,再翻倍…

Appsamuck iPhone教程的目标是31天的教程,最后是31个为iPhone开发的小应用程序,所有源代码都可以下载。他们还提供商业服务来构建应用程序!

如果你想知道你是否能编码,至少你可以下载代码,看看是否有任何东西对你的需求有帮助。另一方面,你也可以从他们那里获得为你开发应用的报价,所以你可以尝试硬币的两面,外包和内部。当然,这也取决于你有多少时间!这当然值得一看!

(好吧,在我上次尝试发布有用的帮助后,我四处寻找!)
