In the event, you have ascertained that the user base of yours prefer only mobile phones, develop an application on that platform only. It is that simple. If plagued with doubts, it is suggested to go for an adaptive application compatible with every platform.
When coming to contemplating between iOS or Android, the former in terms of development offers simplicity and is quite economical as well. But to be considered is the fact that it constantly needs updates and maintenance, thereby there are bound to be additional expenses.

Functionality:

There might be a case where you might cash in on user profiles so as to increase the user experience tenfolds. In-app subscription is the best shot if there is the integration of products, subscriptions and the such. Device synchronization will come handy for the users as well along with a search feature.
UI and UX Design:
Taking into consideration the case where the user base of yours is inclined towards design solutions and the such then, the focus must be given to the product’s appearance. However, occupying a stronger prominent role is the UX design. Irrespective of what are the inclinations with respect to the clients, they want a solution for their problems ultimately.

Information related to the team involved in Development:
Coming to the most vital aspect related to app development which affects the cost of development is the development team who handles the work. Inclination towards opting for a team with less expertise will surely incur less cost but unfortunately poor quality in the work as well.
This does not, however, imply that costly services mean greater quality. There are cases where there is poor judgment in understanding the pros and cons and also the expertise of such teams. However, this is the moment when you select a team from a given list, along with their work inclinations/ methodologies etc will serve to provide greater insight.
Winding up things, when eventually narrowing down on a team with greater expertise which is known for its impressive reputation and has been serving well-known clients from all over the globe, it is normal for them to quote their price a bit high.
