Looking at our financial projections we will need some serious revenue to come in. We first researched apps that were similar to our idea such as Life 360. On average, it cost between $3000 to $18000 to make a tracking app with features on it. We believe that it would probably be near the $18000 range due to all of the features we would want on the app. We plan on offering a 14 day free trial of our premuim package as a way to draw in users to get them interested, then funding the app with our pro and premium offers that contain additional features.
Ensure your family's safety today!
