How much does a mobile app cost in Morocco in 2026?
In Morocco, an iOS and Android app usually costs 40,000–80,000 MAD for a simple MVP, 80,000–200,000 MAD for a complete app and 200,000–600,000 MAD for a marketplace or delivery app. At VCTRUM we deliberately price below these averages for the same quality: an MVP starts at 30,000 MAD.

Mobile app prices in Morocco, by type of project
The market ranges below summarise prices published in 2026 by about a dozen Moroccan agencies and studios (sources at the bottom). VCTRUM ranges are our usual prices for the same scope: iOS and Android, design, admin panel, testing and store publishing included.
| Type of app | Typical price in Morocco | VCTRUM price | Typical timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple MVP: one user type, 5–10 screens, sign-in, content | 40,000 – 80,000 MAD | 30,000 – 60,000 MAD | 10 – 16 weeks |
| Complete app: several roles, payments, notifications, admin panel | 80,000 – 200,000 MAD | 70,000 – 160,000 MAD | 3 – 6 months |
| Marketplace, delivery, ride-hailing: several apps, maps, real time, commissions | 200,000 – 600,000 MAD | 160,000 – 450,000 MAD | 4 – 9 months |
Prices exclude VAT and recurring costs (stores, hosting, maintenance). An exact quote depends on the scope agreed in the discovery call.
Our commitment: better value for money
We price below the Moroccan market average for equivalent scope, without cutting what makes an app last: clean architecture, testing, security and documentation.
Compare our quote line by line with the others you receive. If an item looks more expensive than elsewhere for the same work, tell us: we will explain it or adjust it.
- One codebase for iOS and Android (React Native and Expo): fewer hours, so a lower price
- A senior team that designs, builds and publishes: no middlemen on the invoice
- Price and schedule fixed before work starts, payments by milestone
- You own the code and the store accounts
What changes the price of an app
Payments
Cash on delivery, cards through CMI or Stripe, deposits, commissions and payouts. On the market, CMI integration usually starts at 12,000 MAD.
Real time and maps
Driver or courier tracking, dispatch, chat: this is what separates a delivery or ride-hailing app from a standard one.
Admin panel
Managing orders, users, content and statistics. Essential as soon as a team runs the app day to day.
Languages
French, Arabic (right to left) and English: planned from day one, Arabic is cheap; added later, it is expensive. hanout. works in three languages.
Integrations
ERP, point of sale, SMS, maps, AI: each connection to an existing system needs development and testing.
Costs after launch
The build price is not the total cost. Budget for these lines from the start, whoever builds the app.
| Item | Cost | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Apple developer account (App Store) | 99 USD, about 1,000 MAD | Per year |
| Google Play developer account | 25 USD, about 250 MAD | Once |
| Hosting and servers | 1,000 – 6,000 MAD depending on traffic | Per month |
| Maintenance (fixes, iOS and Android updates, security) | Market: 15–20% of the build · VCTRUM: 10–15% | Per year |
| Card payments (CMI) | About 1.5–2.8% per transaction, depending on the bank | Per transaction |
We recommend opening the Apple and Google accounts in your company’s name: the app stays yours, whoever maintains it.
Freelancer, agency or studio: how prices differ
In Morocco, an experienced freelance developer usually charges 800–1,500 MAD per day, and an agency 800–2,500 MAD per day. A freelancer is often cheaper for a simple MVP; an agency brings design, back end, testing and continuity if someone is away.
VCTRUM works as a studio: a small senior team without sales layers, with rates close to an experienced freelancer and the guarantees of an agency.
How to compare two app quotes
- Compare scope, not the total: number of screens, roles and features
- Check that both iOS and Android are included, along with store publishing
- Ask whether the admin panel and design are included
- Ask who owns the source code and the store accounts
- Check maintenance and the warranty after launch
- Ask for published apps and try them on your phone
