How much does it cost to make a small program?

The development cost of applet is determined by the function and complexity of applet. There are thousands of WeChat applets with simple functions, tens of thousands of WeChat applets with medium functions, and the development cost of WeChat applets with high complexity may reach more than 65,438+10,000.

Although it is impossible to clearly answer how much it costs to develop a small program, to take a step back, this question can be clearly answered: how to calculate the cost of making a small program? The cost of developing an applet = development tool cost+labor cost+server cost+applet registration and certification cost.

1, labor cost

At present, the unit price of human resources of developers/producers should be calculated at 2000 yuan/person/day. The unit price per person per day * the number of days required to complete the development is the total labor cost. There are three main modes of small program development tools: source code development mode, template editing mode and template-based drag-and-drop production mode.

In the source code development mode, it usually takes one month to develop a small program, and the labor cost is tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands; In the mode of template editing, it can usually be completed in one or two days, because there are really too few places to change, and I can't find anything to do if I want to work for a few more days, and the labor cost is generally less than 2000. Based on the template drag mode, statistics can generally be made from a few days to 2-3 weeks, and the labor cost is generally 30,000-20,000.

2. Server fees

Except for very simple applets, general applets need the server to deploy the backend. For the calculation of server cost, you can take the price in Alibaba Cloud as a reference. Some small program development tools have their own servers by default, so the cost of these servers is implied in the use fee of the tools.

Generally speaking, tools that use templates for editing and tools that drag and drop based on templates both contain servers. Even if users already have their own servers, they must use their own tools. It is equivalent to bundled sales, and the expenses are collected together and cannot be separated.

3, small program registration certification fee

This fee is officially charged by WeChat, and the personal registration applet does not have to pay this part of the fee. But the enterprise registration applet needs to pay the authentication fee. 300 yuan/year.

In addition, if the name of the applet is not carefully chosen and it needs to be renamed after release, you have to call 300 yuan again, re-certify once and get the chance to rename it; Change another one next time, and then spend money on certification. Of course, no one has nothing to do but change their names all day, so the cost is still small.
