A useful beauty app budget starts with the business you plan to run. A single salon needs a reliable appointment calendar. A salon chain also needs branch controls. A marketplace must coordinate independent professionals, coverage, commissions and support. Comparing those products as though they have the same scope makes quotations difficult to assess.
Digittrix Beauty App Development Prices
The following figures are Digittrix’s published development prices for agreed product scopes. They are not estimates of what every developer charges.
| Product scope | Price (USD) | Product functions |
|---|---|---|
| Basic salon booking app | USD 1,499 | Service catalogue, customer booking, staff availability, payment integration, reminders and essential admin controls. |
| Multi-branch salon platform | USD 1,500-2,499 | Salon booking with branch-specific services, staff calendars, branch permissions and consolidated booking reports. |
| On-demand beauty marketplace | USD 2,500+ | Customer and provider booking workflows, service areas, provider availability, assignment and marketplace admin controls. |
Prices are in USD. Every tier includes Android and iOS apps, a website/web interface and an admin panel, plus design revisions, launch assistance and post-launch support for the agreed scope. Customer, staff and provider functions follow the selected product tier. Before development, agree the branch or provider count, screens, revision rounds, integrations, delivery milestones and handover. Record whether the build uses custom code or an agreed reusable foundation, including source access and licence terms. Specify the support period, covered tasks, hours and response targets in the proposal. Continued maintenance after that period and later feature changes need a separate agreement. Taxes, hosting, messaging, payment-provider charges, app-store fees, third-party licences and data migration cost extra unless expressly included. Advanced AI, AR, video and custom payouts require separate scoping. Any INR billing amount is confirmed in the written quotation.
For local enquiries, see the separate INR packages on our Mohali page and Delhi-NCR page. Those pages publish their own prices; do not calculate an INR quotation by converting this table.
What Each Package Includes
Every tier includes Android and iOS apps, a website/web interface and an admin panel, plus design revisions, launch assistance and post-launch support for the agreed scope. Customer, staff and provider functions follow the selected product tier.
- Basic salon booking: service catalogue, customer appointments, staff availability, payment integration, reminders and essential admin controls.
- Multi-branch platform: the salon workflow plus branch-specific services, staff calendars, permissions and consolidated booking reports.
- Beauty marketplace: customer and provider workflows, service areas, provider availability, assignment and marketplace administration.
The proposal should identify the actual screens and responsibilities behind those descriptions. Specify which tasks staff complete through a mobile app or web interface, which integrations the team will implement, and how you will approve the release. Agree branch or provider limits, design revision rounds and the included support period before development.
Decisions That Change the Development Scope
| Decision | What to clarify |
|---|---|
| Booking rules | Service duration, staff skills, breaks, room availability, deposits, cancellation deadlines and travel buffers. |
| External systems | Which POS, CRM, payment or messaging services need integration, whether their APIs are available, and who pays their fees. |
| Existing records | Customer records, future appointments, prepaid balances, export access and the trial-import process. |
| Design and code | Custom design requirements, reusable components, third-party licences, source access and ownership. |
| Optional features | AI recommendations, AR previews, video consultations, bespoke payouts and advanced reports. |
An Android and iOS commitment does not define every device feature. For example, background location tracking, an offline workflow or a separate professional experience needs a clear specification. Review the feature checklist before requesting a final quote.
Budget for Running Costs and Support
Development and operations create different costs. List hosting, domain renewal, messaging, payment processing, app-store accounts, third-party licences and monitoring separately. Usage-based charges can change as bookings and messages increase. Obtain current charges from the providers you select.
Each tier includes post-launch support for an agreed scope and period. Record the covered tasks, contact hours, escalation process and response targets. Separate that commitment from later feature development and continued maintenance after the included period.
How Long Does Development Take?
Allow an indicative 8–16 weeks for a standard salon booking app after scope and design approval and receipt of the required content and account access. Multi-branch platforms and marketplaces need their own estimates. Data migration, integrations, vendor onboarding, app-store review and scope changes can affect the launch date.
The MadamG case study records a specific 30-day MVP confirmed by Digittrix, with go-live in November 2025 and full-project handover in February 2026. That project milestone is not the default schedule for a new build.
How to Compare Two Quotations
- Give both teams the same service menu, operating model and platform requirements.
- Compare included screens, user roles, integrations and migration work.
- Ask how the team will test double bookings, payment failures and cancellations.
- Check source-code access, third-party licences, deployment documents and account ownership.
- Compare taxes, provider fees and the support period alongside the development price.
- Agree milestones that demonstrate working journeys and clear acceptance criteria.
A low headline price cannot tell you whether an estimate includes the work you need. A detailed scope lets you compare proposals and identify optional additions before committing.
Prepare Your Beauty App Budget
Write a short brief covering your services, branches or launch areas, staff or provider count, existing systems and target date. Identify the tasks customers and staff must complete in the first release. Then compare beauty app development services and use the delivery roadmap to plan approvals and launch dependencies.
