How much does it cost to develop a money-making app?

No-code MVP: $3,000–$5,000; custom: $50,000–$150,000, depending on features.

What's the best monetization strategy for beginner apps?

Freemium model—free access with premium upsells for 90% higher downloads.

Yes, via ads, in-app purchases, or affiliates; top free apps earn billions annually.

No-code: 3–4 weeks for MVP; custom: 8–12 weeks with professional help.

No—use no-code tools like Adalo or hire experts like Appzoro for seamless development.

iOS for higher spending ($13/user vs. Android's $1); develop both for maximum reach.
