How Much It Costs To Develop A Doctor’s Appointment Apps?

Depending on your specific requirements and the functional scope for your doctor booking app…it can take approximately $40.000 – $50.000 for a working app, but if you add more advanced features like video functionalities or AI, it would grow up to $100,000 to $150,000.

And remember that Doctor appointment app development on android O.S is cost higher than iOS development since the android application requires testing against multiple devices.

Moreover, to become the leading doctor booking site/app, you need to develop your app to increase the number of consultations per month for doctors, as well as keep the flexibility & best online service for patients. If you don’t have a trusted Offshore Development Center, this will take a ton of money and time!
