9. Costing

A key actor in your app success is the cost of an mobile app. While a free mobile app always sounds better to mobile users, but it won’t be as good for you, particularly as you had to pay for costs such as the Developer’s License for the app development company you dealt with. So, before releasing the app make a great financial decision. The average return on investment (RPI) for a small business app is really dependent upon what their app does. If the cost of developing the app is recovered in 1 or 2 years, then it’s a good investment

Take into account both your target audience and the kind of industry you are in.
