The Costs

The costs for development, deployment and maintenance of such an on-demand delivery app or grocery app development depends on what goes into developing it – the number of hours, complexity of UI/UX, Analytics and BI integration, Number of active users expected and so on.

Every app has a robust backend needed to manage the contents on the app and the obvious and apparent the frontend part. The app publisher, or you, would need a control-panel or a dashboard to edit the settings and control every aspect of the app – users, offers, product & services listings, partners, vendors, payments and transactions, etc. Such an app will also require integrations with many third-party services like Google Maps, Payment Gateways, etc.
