The single biggest cost driver isn't the app screens you can see — it's the backend behind them: accounts, data storage, and whatever your app needs to talk to.
Building for both iOS and Android roughly doubles the frontend work unless you share code across platforms, which is why most new apps are built cross-platform by default.
A simple app backed by an existing web product's backend costs far less than an app that needs its own new backend built from scratch.
Budget for maintenance, not just the build — app stores push OS updates every year, and an app that isn't maintained quietly breaks within a couple of release cycles.
