What drives the cost?

Six factors that set your app's price

Know them before asking for a quote to save time and compare offers properly.

Number of platforms

Web and mobile means double the UI, testing and publishing — the biggest cost driver.

Tracking & maps

Delivery apps need real-time tracking, a driver app and an ops dashboard.

Integrations

Connecting accounting, invoicing or ERP adds weeks of work and testing.

User types

Customer, merchant, driver, admin — each role has its own screens and permissions.

Custom design

A brand identity from scratch and custom animations add design hours.

Security & compliance

Encryption, permissions, audit logs and in-Kingdom data residency.

FAQ

App cost FAQ

We've gathered the questions we hear most about Fanann. Can't find your answer? Our team replies in Arabic.

How much does an app cost in Saudi Arabia?

Per published ranges from Saudi dev agencies in 2026: a simple app runs about SAR 15K–100K, a mid-size one SAR 40K–500K, and a complex one SAR 120K to over 1M — the spread depends on features and platforms.

What does yearly app maintenance cost?

Sources we reviewed estimate 15%–25% of the build cost per year.

Do prices include VAT?

Usually not. Most quotes exclude the 15% VAT; the calculator shows prices before and after VAT.

How much does an e-commerce app cost?

Use the calculator, pick “Online store” and the features you need. A web + mobile store with payments and a dashboard is usually a mid-size project.

Why is Fanann cheaper than a dev agency?

Fanann Agent writes, tests and deploys the code, and hosting and maintenance are in the subscription — so you don't pay dev hours for every change.

Is this an official quote?

No, it's a ballpark estimate. For an exact price, get detailed quotes from several agencies, or build your first version on Fanann for free.
