  • The Cost to Build an App - Is it Worth It?

    We've been receiving quite a volume of calls and emails from some inquisitive entrepreneurs and companies.  For the most part the initial part of the conversation is centered around a single, almost universal, theme.

    How much does it cost to build a mobile app?

    I suppose the answer to this question depends on who you ask.  For ISBX, we generally start at around $20,000 for a single platform application.

    Android Case Study

    This year we put an emphasis on Android. First with the Picturizr Android version launched in March, which saw a 5x increase in user traffic over iOS. Second, we launched FaceSmash for Android in May and saw a 3x increase in user traffic. We attribute the surge in traffic due to Android now having a larger user penetration over iOS as well as the large young demographic that have Android smartphones over iOS devices.

    Leveraging our successful Picturizr photo manipulation platform we created a fun social game allowing friends to challenge each other through a face smashing mobile app.  The app allows you to take a photo and using the touch screen combined with the shake gesture of the iPhone to launch punches causing various image distortion effects. Face smashing effects depend on how fast you swipe your fingers across the screen and how hard you shake the phone.
