Is there any difference when you pay for a programmer to make you an app? Since from my experience programmers are asking for 2-3.000eur+ to make an app and then I found Zappter and it seems unreal that I can create everything and publish in under 50$
You would be lucky if you could get a custom app developed by a programmer. It usually takes much more time and money. If you find a talented and efficient developer team they will do a fine job, but definitely, it takes time. When you build with an online app builder, the building blocks of making an app, researching, and testing are already handled by some of the industry's best-known and talented developers. That's the difference.
