The most cost-effective way to develop a mobile app in 2025 is using cross-platform frameworks like Flutter or React Native. These allow developers to write one codebase for both iOS and Android, reducing time and cost. Pairing this with low-code/no-code tools (e.g., FlutterFlow, Adalo) further cuts expenses for simple apps. Outsourcing to experienced freelancers or agencies in lower-cost regions like Eastern Europe or Southeast Asia offers quality at reduced rates.
