What drives the cost of a booking app
Booking apps live or die on the calendar: slots that update as people book, reminders that cut no-shows, and a staff view that shows the day at a glance. Cancellations, reschedules and advance payments are the details that take the time.
The estimate starts from 18 screens: service list, staff, slot picker, booking summary, payment, confirmations, my bookings, reschedule, profile and login screens. It comes to ₹3.6–9.1 lakh over about 7–16 weeks.
