In the era of Mini Programs, most companies and brands want to develop their own Mini Programs. How much does it cost to develop a WeChat applet? Before understanding how much money is needed for the development of small programs, we must first understand the process and configuration of small program development, and finally we can estimate the development costs of small programs.
Introduction to the cost and price of small program development. Currently, there are three main types of small program development methods: custom development, source code purchase, and templating
Type 1: Custom Development
Small program development is a systematic project, and the human resources invested include: product manager, tester, artist, front-end, and technology research and development. If the per capita monthly salary is 10,000 yuan, it will be completed within one month from project demand analysis to development completion. The investment is 50,000. It also depends on the complexity of the realization of functional requirements, and the cost is also different.
In addition, the normal operation of the mini program also needs to provide infrastructure such as server configuration, domain name registration and SMS service. This part is paid on an annual basis. If the user traffic is not large, the annual investment is at least about 5,000.
In fact, from development to online operation of a small program, a series of positions are needed to provide support, such as operation and maintenance, after-sales customer service, art and operation, etc., and this expenditure is still long-term.
On the whole, the cost of custom development of small programs is about tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands.
The second method: buy the source code
As the name implies, it refers to the source code of the program. The source code is generally subject to a buyout system, that is, one-time payment for permanent use, and secondary development can be carried out on the basis of the source code. The price is generally more than 10,000 yuan.
This also requires self-configuration of infrastructure such as servers, domain name filing, and SMS services. Later, operation and maintenance and redevelopment will be required. It is suitable for technology-savvy or small Internet companies.
The third type: template development
There are many software companies that provide template development in the market, and these are mainly aimed at businesses with no technical experience or excessive budget.
Templating is a SaaS software model developed without code. Generally speaking, it is a set of industry solutions developed by a third-party small program platform, and provides maintenance and after-sales service. Enterprises and merchants can use it at a low annual rental fee.
Merchants only need to simply drag and drop the design or use the theme template to generate a small program with one click, which is fast and easy to use. The cost ranges from thousands to tens of thousands, and there are also service providers under the banner of free, such as providing free small program templates, which need to be carefully considered. The operation of a company requires costs, and he is not doing public welfare.
In addition, software service providers provide infrastructure such as server configuration, domain name registration, and SMS services, as well as a series of supporting services such as operation and maintenance, after-sales, and operations.
Before the development of small programs, the development price is only one of the considerations. You also need to comprehensively consider the company’s strength, technical team, etc., whether the company is purely selling software, or really providing services. Because the mini program is a technology-based product, it also involves the issue of upgrading and iteration in the later stage, and the development of Internet technology is changing with each passing day, and the mini program market is developing so fast, which also requires high market sensitivity of software service providers.
