How much does it cost to outsource iPhone app development?
tzm: I'm in Raleigh, NC.  I develop iPhone / iPad and Android apps for a small dev firm.  We price our apps on a fixed rate basis, typically starting at $3k, for full service work (graphic design to app store distribution);  2-3 week lead time.Although we could bill $100 - $150/hr, we find clients respond better to fixed rate pricing, which seems to be a more manageable on both ends.We focus heavily on providing excellent design and rich UI/UX. We often work with agencies behind the scenes or with enterprise customers, brands, publishers and entrepreneurs with an "idea".  Pretty much all types of customers.We also build the web service infrastructure, which may include social, geo and eCommerce capabilities and/or integration.Btw, we've had iPhone apps approved in as little as 2 days.Your app seems like some of the apps that we've developed for $2-3k, assuming you have a workflow / spec draft and initial design consideration.
