Comment on Show HN: App vs. Website: Should you build an app or a website?parent

Fair point. We added an explanation on the result page for that use case that says:

"Most successful mobile apps cost upwards of 10K USD to build due to features, level of expected design, connection to a website, and if you’re building across multiple platforms (iOS, Android, etc.). If your budget is less than 10k, it’s more likely a website would be a better route to go. You can however test a mobile app idea out with a website. Here’s how (https://crew.co/how-to-build-an-online-business/build-websit...)."

The purpose was to try and make it clear that most (not all) successful mobile apps cost upwards of 10k USD.

I'd argue that services like Parse.com make the cost go way, way down. Even lower if you are a mobile app developer yourself.
