Factors Affecting Development Cost of Apps like A23

If you are wondering about the reasoning behind this cost, there are quite a few reasons that justify it.       

1. Standalone or Gameplay for MultiGaming Platform 

If you are wondering about the reasoning behind this cost, quite a few reasons justify it.       

A Multi-gaming Platform app allows you to host many games on a single app. That means you can have ten games on a single app if you have ten games. That is, instead of having to have ten different apps. 

A standalone app has limited options and is only the best option when you have one game and want to stop there! However, a Multi Gaming Platform App is the better option if you want to develop several games.   

2. Rummy Game Modes

Rummy is a card game that has multiple modes. Each of these modes differs in terms of rules, sometimes by a small amount and sometimes by a larger extent. 

Points 

This fast-paced Rummy variant includes a single round. Players must be the first to declare and get a score of 0. This will earn the highest point, where each point already has a decided value. When the game concludes, the winner is the highest point-scorer.   

Pool

This mode involves multiple rounds in which all but one player must surpass 101 or 201 points. Afterward, points are calculated, and the player getting 0 gets higher points. Based on all the rounds, the winner is the player who has scored the highest points after all rounds have concluded.  

Deals

All players get the same number of chips. Each round progresses where the winning players get all the chips from the losing players. After all rounds have concluded, the winner is the one with the most chips.  

Raise 

Raise Rummy is similar to Points Rummy, with a few exceptions. The game runs on points that have a certain value. Players have one objective: to score points, as points have a monetary value. The player with the most points automatically wins the prize pool amount.   

Out of all these modes, Points, Pool, and Deals are the most popular modes, while Raise mode is not as popular as the rest.    

3. Tournaments & Events 

You can’t have an app like A23 unless you include the tournaments and the events. These are small to large special contests that can offer large prize pools or exciting prizes and are usually time-limited.    

Tournaments or events can acquire more users, improve engagement, and become a reputable name in the industry. Not to mention, it can have a direct impact on app profitability. 

When referring to games like Rummy or Poker, the tournaments and events can extend across all the variants of the games.  

4. Mobile Platforms

Prospective game owners may want to test their game before going all in. To do this, owners must develop a game that caters to a single mobile platform, Android or iOS.  

Post a successful Rummy app like A23, you can move on to developing an app for the second platform and possibly a web app as well.  

The alternative to developing an application for either platform is to develop a Cross-Platform Application to satisfy target audiences on both platforms using a single application. This is the more logical option when you know your app is going to be a success.     

5. Additional Features & Complexity 

Features your application possesses are important as they can influence just how easy or difficult it is to operate your app. For example, the account creation and login options help to save gameplay history and make it easier or faster to enter a game right away. Besides, it is a mandatory step in most apps.   

Certain Features that are desirable to have are:

  • Admin & User Panels
  • Practice games/rounds 
  • Multilingual support 
  • Multi-table feature   
  • Login bonuses and referral bonuses 
  • Technical support  

When assessing the additional features of a game, there is usually a distinction between the features; some are simple, while others are defined as complex. Simple features are easier and faster to implement, often costing less. In contrast, complex features are slightly harder to implement and a bit more time-consuming, hence, a higher cost to integrate into your game app.
