What is a price quote app?

A price quote app is a mobile application that enables users to get quotes for goods or services. Price quote apps usually include interfaces for searching and viewing prices, comparing the prices of different vendors, and creating digital shopping lists with price info.

Price quote apps are similar to other shopping apps like task apps, delivery apps, and shopping cart management apps. Popular price quote apps include Snagajob, Handy, and Postmates.

Here are some recent price quote app examples built with Xperts:

What is the typical cost to build a price quote app?

A price quote app usually costs $37,500 to build. However, the total cost can be as low as $25,000 or as high as $50,000. A price quote app with a low number of features (also known as a "minimum viable product", or MVP) will be more affordable than an app that includes all intended functionality.

  • $17,500

How to successfully grow your price quote application

A price quote app like Homie helps homeowners save money by providing instant estimates for the cost of home improvement projects. To increase conversions, Homie offers a referral program that provides users with $300 in incentives when their friends buy a project. The company also uses retargeting to advertise Homie to users who have previously viewed the app in order to boost awareness and engagement.

Risks and challenges of building a price quote application

A price quote app faces legal and reputational risks related to user misrepresentation of identity. In addition, because the app involves making product recommendations, a price quote app may have liability if the products it recommends receive negative reviews following purchase. You will want to invest time in vetting products and services, and employing robust mechanisms for identifying and blocking users who provide fake reviews or otherwise violate your terms.
