Game applet development is not as complicated as our traditional app development, and the natural cost is not so expensive, but how much it costs to make a applet is controversial. Only by knowing its development cost in detail can we better measure whether this emerging field is worth public investment. Generally speaking, the development cost of game applets has the following aspects:

1, the cost of development.

Under normal circumstances, developing some WeChat applets requires a team of five people, including front-end development+back-end development +UI design+test maintenance, and a person specially designed by users. These technicians need to pay more than 5,000 yuan, which varies according to different positions. The technicians in some first-tier cities are15,000 ~ 30,000 or even higher. According to this ratio, the whole development is counted.

2. Apply the template. Most enterprises and businesses will choose to buy templates directly, because the cost of self-development is too high, and the cost of buying templates and maintaining them is about 4~5 thousand in 1 year.

3. Post-maintenance and update costs.

As we all know, the current version is updated too quickly. Wechat and other apps are constantly improving, as are small programs, which means that small programs need to be constantly updated and iterated, and the cost depends on the actual situation. The cost of maintenance and update may be one tenth of the development cost.

The overall cost of game WeChat applet development is about 654.38+ 10,000 yuan, which is many times cheaper than app, because the current APP development needs to adapt to two mobile phone models, one is the common Android version of our public, and it takes a lot of energy and time to continuously debug and match after the development of the ios side of the Apple system. Because wechat is based on wechat, it solves the compatibility problem itself, and it does not need to spend extra time to match, which can naturally save costs. Applets are usually composed of multiple pages, but how many pages each applet needs depends on the actual situation of enterprises and businesses, so it depends on which of the following modes you adopt:

The first is to develop and do it yourself. This is also the most economical way. If you develop it yourself, you can save the money paid to the developer. In this way, you can develop a personal version of the applet and have your own applet without spending a penny. If you want to develop a small program mall with payment function, which is an enterprise version, you need to carry out WeChat authentication, and you only need to pay 300 yuan authentication fee to Tencent, provided that you know the technology, and it is best to have a team.

The second is to have development departments or developers. If so, we are the same as the first case, but we still have to pay the staff's expenses, which should also be included in the cost of developing a small program. After all, employees need company support. The cost depends on the salary you provide to your employees. Generally, the basic salary of an employee who can independently develop small programs will not be less than 10 thousand, which is still the basic salary of a small city. If it is in Beishangguang, it will take about 20,000 to 50,000. And if you have a development department, the cost will be higher.

The third is to find a development company with the qualification to develop WeChat applet mall. This method is the most convenient and cost-effective way when you have no development ability. Because we don't need to spend so much energy to develop ourselves, and we don't need to spend too much money to support a developer or development department, developing a small program only needs to pay the market price (several thousand yuan). How much is the small program development of the game? It can be said from the following aspects:

1, let me tell you the cost composition of the applet mall. The cost structure of applet mall is 2 1 13 system development cost+update maintenance+certification cost, in which the system development cost varies greatly according to the function and development time. I will explain it to you again and again below.

2. Let's talk about the development cost of small programs. Small 526 1 program mall is divided into template type and customized type. Template type refers to the template that has been developed and is suitable for most small and medium-sized enterprises. Its characteristic is that it can be used after being uploaded to the server 4 102, and the cost is low. Its disadvantage is that the functions are similar and cannot be customized. The price of template applet 1653 system is. Then let's talk about a customized applet system. The so-called customization means customized development. This kind of customers have clear needs, and then the network company develops according to the needs of customers. The advantage of customized version is customization on demand, but the disadvantage is that the development time is long, and the cost of general customization is not capped at 50 thousand yuan, so the price of customization is more expensive.

To sum up, you can win all the template applets for about 5,000 yuan, and it takes at least tens of thousands of yuan to customize them. Game development generally requires customized development applets.

Advantages are: unique, customized for your business or shop, functions you set, require you to set, convenient for later bug modification, convenient for changing things, and most importantly, permanent use rights!
