Software cost question (alien.top)

How much would it cost to own an app?

I’m not a tech savvy person so excuse my ignorance

I googled “how much would it cost to own an app?” And was surprised by the answer, “The minimum app development cost is $5,000-$10,000. A more complex mobile application will cost you around $50,000-$75,000 and reach $300,000+.”

Seriously why is the bar so high?

Ex: a local barber cuts ~500 people’s hair a month, and he wants an app to book appointments, but he can’t afford the $5k-$10k for that then what are his options?

How much is the bread you eat? Or the car you drive? Everything has a price tag. The bar is not high enough.

Keep in mind - not every business needs custom software. Your barber should look for an off-the-shelf solution. There are plenty of software as a service providers for most of the things you need nowadays.
