As might have been hinted at, I'm building up a portfolio of mobile apps and until I have a few to show off, I'm doing this starting at $2000. Depends on complexity obviously but this can include design & development if required.
For more complex things we can agree a price or tweak features to fit the budget. Could be a good idea for your MVP?!
Ongoing Testflight builds and repo access so you can see work progressing.
I was (and still am) a web developer but now I'm trying to build up my mobile portfolio and get things rolling in that direction. To that end, I am offering complete design & development of iOS or Android apps from $2000.
I say 'from' as it does depend on how mightily complex your app will be. We can also work out what can be done for the price if budget is an issue, though.
I put together a little site that explains things a bit more here:
I'll build you an app that will literally figuratively blow your pants clean off. Also, I'll do it from $2000.
Reasons:
I've done a few of these now but the majority are in-house apps and as such I have little to show. I need to build up a bit of a portfolio that folks can actually see.
Also, due to personal circumstances, my hours are all over the place so I'm not Johnny Officehours.
I also have many, many years of web app dev and design experience. Happy to go into more detail via e-message and discuss all the bits & pieces.
Why don't you put a couple of apps up on the app store?I don't see how anyone can hand you $1000 up front when there is no proof that you can actually do the job.

I've been 'struggling' with this lately. I have app dev experience but not really anything to show in public so I have been offering to do apps at $2k-ish as a portfolio building exercise. Maybe I anchored it too low or this is just how it is, but I received a fair few messages asking if I'd go sub $1000 or work on a pay-if-we-like-it/if we make money basis.
You are going to have very painful projects at that price range. The customers will be entirely out of touch with reality, if they think below $1000 is "fair" for an app (or really any kind of custom software). Expect such projects to drag on and on, and be very sure to get at least some payment upfront, as these kinds of customers also tend to forget or be "too busy" to pay their bills.
Also, stay far, far away from the pay-if-we-like-it, pay-if-we-make-money schemes.
Unless you are desperate for the cash can't you do some simple but nice utilities to put in the app store as your portfolio. If they are good enough to charge for you might get a trickle of revenue and if not you still have the portfolio.
You also get to choose what you demonstrate rather than what a client wants you to do and you won't be stuck implementing someone else's design mistakes and putting them in your portfolio.
If company building app for 2000 and it's not one page. Company should recognize it will be piece of junk.2000 it's just 20 hours of work. What you can build in 3 day?
When dev guy building his portfolio that mean this guy doesn't have experience. So he will make 1000 bugs. And it's normal later he will be good (maybe).
So question is are do you ready to pay money to teach someone? Or you just need good app
