Many platforms now have mini programs, such as WeChat, Toutiao, and Alipay. It is enough to see that mini programs have become the most popular marketing tool, and the most used one is WeChat. Small programs, WeChat small programs are increasingly favored by businessmen and entrepreneurs. So for the development of WeChat applets, I believe that the question that most people are more concerned about is how much does it cost to develop a small program?
Let me tell you about the cost of developing this WeChat applet. I hope it will be helpful to you.
1. Wechat mini program server rental fee
WeChat applets are supported by servers, and there are two types of servers that can be used: self-built servers and leased cloud servers. The advantage of self-built servers is security, but the disadvantages are high costs and high maintenance costs; cloud servers basically have no disadvantages, and their security issues are already highly guaranteed. The advantages are cloud deployment, shared resources, low cost, and flexible operation , so most enterprises and merchants will choose to rent cloud servers directly, because the cost of self-development is too high, and server rental and maintenance costs are more cost-effective. The cost of a small program server depends on factors such as the storage space and bandwidth of the server. The cost of a simple small program server is less than 1,000 yuan, and the cost of a small program server with a large storage space or a large number of visits needs to be in units of 10,000.
2. Third-party payment interface fee
Most of the enterprises and merchants that develop mini-programs will involve payment functions. For these enterprises and merchants, third-party payment interfaces will be used in the development of mini-program applications. Currently commonly used payment methods include WeChat Pay, UnionPay, etc. Among them, WeChat Pay needs to authenticate the type of official account service account, which requires 300 yuan/annual examination fee. You can find a bank or a third-party company for the UnionPay payment interface for free. Later transactions and withdrawals through the platform will involve a service fee of about 0.6%-1%, which is slightly different for different industries.
3. The cost of WeChat Mini Program development
WeChat mini-program development costs will account for more than 90% of the entire mini-program development costs.
The development cost of WeChat applets is determined by the number of functions of the applet and the complexity of the functions. In addition, the price will be different depending on the development model. The development cost of a WeChat mini-program with simple functions is several thousand yuan, that of a WeChat mini-program with medium functions is tens of thousands, and that of a highly complex WeChat mini-program may reach more than 100,000 yuan. The development mode is mainly divided into templates and customization. The price of templates is about several thousand, and the price of customization is generally tens of thousands of yuan.
