Mac application d?veloppement tarification / co?t / estimate / outsourcing

Prix de d?veloppement d?application Mac : approche Flutter multi-plateforme

pour Mac application d?veloppement, building uniquement pour Mac is often less effective than building Mac, windows, web, iOS, et android together avec Flutter. avec the same budget, you can usually reach a wider user base.

At Finite Field, we combine subscription-based DaaS (d?veloppement as a Service) avec Flutter ? provide a delivery setup that keeps product d?veloppement moving, starting at zero upfront co?t et JPY 298,000/month.

Key points dans 3 seconds

  • Pricing model: ongoing mensuel improvement instead de one-time upfront delivery (pauseable et scalable)

  • Flutter advantage: develop Mac / windows / web / iOS / android together (one spec change cycle)

  • recommand? path: Standard (JPY 598,000/month) pour fastest progress de launch ? growth

Points cl?s FAQ

What is the typical co?t range pour Mac application d?veloppement?

It depends on features, distribution model, et quality requirements. avec Finite Field's DaaS, the benchmarks are Clair (JPY 298,000/month) pour minor updates et Standard (JPY 598,000/month) pour new builds et growth.

If we uniquement plan Mac now, why choose Flutter?

You reduce rework risk when web, mobile, ou windows becomes necessary later. Spec changes are also easier ? reflect dans one cycle.

Can you support internal distribution instead de application Store release?

Yes. We propose the right process based on your distribution method, including internal distribution et MDM.

Mac application tarification depends on what you build et how far you need ? go

Mac application costs mainly vary by the following factors.

  • Use case: internal tool / business system / consumer application

  • Distribution: application Store / internal package (DMG) / MDM

  • Features: authentication, sync, offline, notifications, permissions, printing, integrations

  • Quality scope: tests, auditability, security, operations monitoring

  • Future scope: Mac uniquement vs planned multi-OS rollout

If you lock into a Mac-uniquement architecture de the start, adding other OS targets later can easily lead ? double investment.

Why 5-platform Flutter d?veloppement often outperforms Mac-uniquement d?veloppement

dans Mac application projects, requirements frequently expand during delivery.

If each OS is implemented separately, spec changes et additional work fragment across teams, slowing decisions et increasing maintenance costs. Flutter usually allows one design direction et one implementation strategy across platforms.

Common requirement shifts

  • The field team also needs a web version

  • People need access de iPhone/iPad while outside

  • Sales teams are on windows

  • Browser access is needed pour partner sharing

Traditional outsourcing (per OS) vs Flutter x DaaS (Finite Field)

Comparison Traditional outsourcing (per OS) Finite Field DaaS (Flutter)
Supported OS Mac uniquement (other OS require separate budget) Mac / windows / web / iOS / android together
Upfront co?t Often JPY millions ? tens de millions JPY 0 upfront (mensuel uniquement)
Delivery speed Parallel but separate OS tracks One line progressing across all OS
Spec changes Re-coordination per OS Changes reflected dans one cycle
Maintenance Often separate quotation each time Continuous support dans mensuel plan (depends on tier)
Risk profile Value appears uniquement near handover You can pause ou scale as needed

Pricing plans (zero upfront, mensuel)

Three plans designed pour starting small de Mac et scaling ? five platforms when needed.

Light

JPY 298,000/month

Maintenance phase / small internal tool updates

  • 1 d?veloppement line
  • web uniquement
  • Meetings as needed
  • Infrastructure co?t: actuals

Good fit

Minor improvements ? existing tools, small internal feature additions, et continuous operational tuning

recommand? / Fastest route

Standard

JPY 598,000/month

New product et growth phase / full build momentum

  • 1 d?veloppement line
  • web + application
  • Biweekly meetings
  • Infrastructure co?t: actuals

Good fit

Start de Mac et expand ? web/mobile/windows while growing the business application incrementally

Most suitable pour users arriving via Mac tarification search intent

Business

de JPY 980,000/month

Large scale / high-speed execution avec parallel tracks

  • 2 d?veloppement lines (about 2x throughput)
  • web + application
  • Weekly meetings
  • Infrastructure co?t: actuals

Good fit

Parallel new feature delivery et operations, multi-department rollout, et short-term replacement at scale

pour Mac search traffic: why Standard is often the best fit

New d?veloppement inevitably comes avec early spec changes.

Standard combines web + application scope avec biweekly prioritization cycles, which usually shortens the loop de planning ? adoption.

  • Keeps future windows / web / iOS / android rollout options open de day one
  • Matches iterative product improvement during operation
  • Makes co?t-effectiveness validation cycles easier ? sustain

Checklist that drives Mac application d?veloppement co?t

If these points are clear, rough estimates become much faster.

Unknown items are completely fine at consultation stage.

  • User volume (internal headcount / external users)

  • Authentication (Google/Microsoft/ID-password/SSO)

  • Data model (sync/offline/permissions/audit)

  • Integrations (CSV/Excel/existing DB/API/Slack, etc.)

  • Distribution (application Store / internal deployment)

  • Future expansion ? windows / web / iOS / android

Cheaper first build is not always cheaper dans total

Three common failure patterns dans Mac application d?veloppement:

  • Issuing a fixed-scope contract before requirements are stable
  • Separating maintenance contracts, making each improvement expensive
  • Building Mac-uniquement first, then rebuilding pour other platforms later

avec DaaS, you can operate dans a continuous loop de build, use, improve, et scale. This typically stabilizes total co?t better than relying on the first quotation alone.

Frequently asked questions

What is the typical co?t benchmark pour Mac application d?veloppement?

co?t depends on features, distribution model, et quality requirements. avec Finite Field DaaS, the benchmarks are Clair (JPY 298,000/month) pour minor updates et Standard (JPY 598,000/month) pour new d?veloppement et growth.

If we uniquement need Mac now, why use Flutter?

It minimizes double investment risk when web, mobile, ou windows becomes necessary later. Spec changes are also easier ? manage dans one shared flow.

Can you support internal distribution instead de application Store release?

Yes. We propose the right rollout strategy based on internal distribution ou MDM requirements.

Can we change plans ou pause later?

Yes. Because DaaS is mensuel, moving Clair ? Standard ? Business, ou pausing at a milestone, is easier ? design contractually.

What does infrastructure co?t as actuals mean?

Cloud costs (pour exemple Cloud Run ou Firestore) are billed at actual utilisation. We provide rough estimates during solution design.
