How Much Does it Cost to Make an iPhone App?
Introduction
The demand for mobile applications like iPhone apps is at an all time high, but the cost of developing iPhone apps can be a major deterrent for small to medium sized businesses. It seems that anyone asking about the price of an iphone app these days will likely be quoted an astronomical figure in the tens of thousands, citing the countless hours of development and graphic design work.
Analysis
Not willing to allow sky-high price tags to squash their dreams of going mobile, these smaller businesses have found a way to get their messages right into their customers hands. Saavy entrepreneurs look to the various app development templates that they can customize at a fraction of the cost rather than creating one from scratch.
Conclusion
At the most basic level, iPhone apps can range in cost from $0 – the do it yourself model – up to $25,000 – $100,000 for sophisticated interactive apps that require months of coding, design and development.
Developers like 3 CLiCk Media have developed techniques to make custom apps with the sophistication and market appeal that meet customers various needs and requirements. Features such as GEO Location, App monetizing, social networking platforms, push notification functionality and more are easily produced at a fraction of the price. The development team also handles the nebulous task of submitting to the Apple’s App Store. Now, smaller businesses can compete with the big boys, and the app only costs about $2,500.

The very minimum price for building a simple mobile app is around $3,000. Speak with a professional developer about your specific project to find out the real cost based on your unique requirements...
I actually know many talented (and affordable) mobile developers (freelancers and agencies). I'd be happy to provide an introduction.
Thanks,

I believe there is also an "in-between" solution: finding a developer.
This will allow you to have a more "personal" relationship and therefore he might go the distance (that a "company" wouldn't). In addition, there is much more flexibility and space for changes and working within deadlines.
Just my two cents.
