How to keep the cost down
Same result, smaller first invoice.
- 01
Start with the core
Launch the one feature people pay for. Add the rest after real feedback.
- 02
One codebase, two stores
A cross-platform app reaches Android and iPhone for far less than two separate apps.
- 03
Test on one store first
Prove the idea on Android or iPhone, then add the other.
- 04
Use what exists
Proven building blocks for login, payments and maps beat custom code.

How much does a simple app cost in Cambodia?
A simple app with a few screens and little or no login usually costs $1,000–$3,000 and takes 4–8 weeks to build, plus app store review.
How much does it cost to add KHQR payments?
Setting up a ready-made plugin, such as ABA PayWay for WooCommerce or Shopify, costs about $150–$300. A custom KHQR integration in your app or website, with live payment status and receipts, costs about $400–$1,000. Most Cambodian banks don't charge merchants for KHQR payments; card fees are set by your bank.
How much does a website cost in Cambodia?
A business website usually costs $1,000–$2,000 and takes 2–4 weeks. An online store or larger site starts from $3,000 and takes 4–8 weeks.
Do I need both Android and iPhone?
Usually, yes. Android and iPhone are close to evenly split in Cambodia. One cross-platform app covers both stores for much less than two separate apps.
What does it cost to publish an app?
Google Play charges a one-time $25 fee. Apple charges $99 per year. New personal Google Play accounts must also run a closed test with at least 12 testers for 14 days before going live, so plan 3–4 extra weeks for a first Android launch.
What are the monthly costs after launch?
Most new apps need $5–$50 per month for a server and database, plus the Apple fee if you are on the App Store. Updates and support are optional.
