The essentials
A professional mobile app costs between €15,000 and €150,000 depending on complexity, with the market sweet spot between €30,000 and €80,000 for a standard iOS + Android app. Development takes 2 to 6 months. Neodigit builds your apps from Dijon, with security built in from the design phase and delivery in short iterations, for clients across France.
A mobile app agency in Dijon, with national ambition
Neodigit designs and builds complete applications for SMEs, mid-sized companies and startups: SaaS, business tools, mobile apps, internal portals. We never start from a technology to sell it to you: we start from your business, your constraints and your users, and derive the most relevant architecture from there.
Every project starts with a business immersion phase that avoids most bad technical decisions: understanding your rules, your workflows, your regulatory constraints before proposing a single line of code. A working MVP ships within a few weeks, then we iterate in two-week sprints with systematic demos. You keep control over the trade-offs, we keep responsibility for technical quality.
From Dijon, we deliver mobile apps across France: a local base that guarantees a single, available point of contact, without the coordination overhead of a Paris agency or an offshore provider.
What we cover
| Area | What it includes |
|---|---|
| Native and cross-platform mobile apps | iOS and Android, React Native for most projects, native when performance or an OS-specific feature requires it |
| Progressive Web Apps (PWA) | Installable web apps, no mandatory store listing, ideal for validating a concept or reaching a broad audience |
| Mobile business tools | Field apps for sales teams, technicians, mobile agents, with offline support |
| Security and GDPR compliance | Secure architecture from the design phase, audits, cryptography, personal data protection |
| Maintenance and evolution | Ongoing application maintenance, monitoring, security updates, feature evolution |
How much does a mobile app cost?
Price depends on the number of target platforms, functional complexity and the expected level of design polish. In 2026, the French market breaks down as follows:
| Project type | Budget | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|
| MVP / simple app (3-5 screens) | €15,000 - €30,000 | 4-8 weeks |
| Standard app (iOS + Android, dedicated backend) | €30,000 - €80,000 | 3-6 months |
| Complex app (multiple integrations, real-time) | €80,000 - €150,000 | 6-9 months |
| Enterprise app (enhanced security, scale) | €150,000+ | 9 months and up |
The full breakdown of price ranges, the factors that make them vary, and how to optimize your budget is covered on the mobile app pricing page.
PWA, native or hybrid: which tech fits your project?
Cross-platform (React Native, Flutter) cuts development costs by 20 to 40% compared to separate native iOS and Android development, by sharing most of the codebase. A PWA goes further: it costs 40 to 60% less than a native app, at the cost of more limited access to advanced hardware features (Bluetooth, NFC, in-app payment).
There’s no universal answer: the choice depends on your budget, your audience (mostly iOS or Android), and the hardware features you genuinely need. The detailed comparison, decision tree included, is on the PWA vs native vs hybrid page.
Mobile security: not an afterthought
85% of mobile apps have at least one critical vulnerability according to the OWASP Mobile Top 10 2024. The average cost of a data breach reaches $4.45 million according to IBM Security, not counting GDPR fines that can reach 4% of global revenue.
At Neodigit, security is built in from the design phase, not bolted on in a rush before launch. For example, we identified and fixed 12 critical vulnerabilities in three weeks during an audit for a B2B SaaS vendor, including a SQL injection flaw that exposed 15,000 customer records. The details of the 10 most common flaws and concrete fixes are on the mobile app security page.
MVP first, full app later
80% of apps fail partly because they’re oversized from the very first version. Our method always starts with a working MVP delivered in 6 weeks, to test assumptions against real users before investing in the full scope. This approach is detailed on the mobile app MVP page and builds on our MVP in 6 weeks method.
Once launched: maintenance
A mobile app is never finished at launch. Budget 15 to 20% of the initial development cost per year for corrective maintenance, OS updates and bug fixes. The breakdown of hidden costs (infrastructure, stores, evolutions) is on the mobile app maintenance and cost page.
Industries we know well
We’ve built particular expertise in industries representative of the Burgundy economy, each with specific business constraints:
- Mobile app for the wine industry
- Mobile app for the food industry
- Mobile app for tourism and hospitality
Case study: a concierge app for a premium hotel chain
A multi-property premium hotel chain entrusted us with building a digital concierge app, from check-in to room service. The goal wasn’t to replace human contact, the heart of the premium hospitality experience, but to remove operational friction: queues at the front desk, phone calls for room service, complex coordination for spa bookings.
We built an iOS and Android app on React Native, with a per-property configuration engine: each hotel activates its own modules, customizes its visual identity and adapts its service rules without a new app release. Measured results: check-in time cut by 4x, +35% room service orders, NPS improved by 20 points, front desk costs reduced by 25%.
The full case study is available on the tourism and hospitality industry page.
FAQ
How much does a mobile app cost for an SME in France in 2026?
Between €15,000 and €150,000+, depending on complexity. For an SME, the market sweet spot is between €15,000 and €50,000 for a standard iOS and Android app. The breakdown by project type is on the pricing page.
Should I choose a native app, a PWA, or a hybrid app?
It depends on your budget, your audience and the hardware features you need. A PWA suits a tight budget and mostly content or booking-driven use. Native becomes necessary as soon as you need Bluetooth, NFC, in-app payment or critical performance (games, real-time). See the detailed comparison.
Should I start with an MVP before building the full app?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases. An MVP lets you validate the concept with real users at a limited investment (€15,000 - €30,000, 4 to 8 weeks) before committing the full budget. See our MVP method.
How long does it take to build a professional mobile app?
On average 2 to 6 months: 4 to 8 weeks for a simple MVP, 3 to 9 months for a full project depending on the number of platforms and functional complexity.
