Why two apps aren't the same price.
The honest answer to "how much does a Shopify app cost?" is "it depends" — here's what it actually depends on.
Surface area
A single checkout Function is days. A public app with billing, onboarding and a dashboard is weeks. Scope drives everything.
Integrations
Talking to an ERP, 3PL or legacy API with quirky auth and no docs adds real engineering — and is where most surprises hide.
Public vs custom
Public App Store apps carry billing, multi-tenancy and review requirements a single-store custom app simply doesn't.
Timeline
A sensible timeline is efficient. A compressed, drop-everything deadline costs more because it reshapes how we staff it.
Design polish
Functional Polaris UI is included. Bespoke branded interfaces and animation are worth it for some apps and overkill for others.
Compliance
Handling payments, PII or specific regional rules raises the security and testing bar — and the effort to clear it.
