How much would it cost to own an app?

I’m not a tech savvy person so excuse my ignorance

I googled “how much would it cost to own an app?” And was surprised by the answer, “The minimum app development cost is $5,000-$10,000. A more complex mobile application will cost you around $50,000-$75,000 and reach $300,000+.”

Seriously why is the bar so high?

Ex: a local barber cuts ~500 people’s hair a month, and he wants an app to book appointments, but he can’t afford the $5k-$10k for that then what are his options?

    hey your business is not that complicated to have an app for trust me you just need a nice good looking website to have appointments booked thats all now i have a running software agency we make apps animation websites you name it but it would not be in your best interest to have a app developed if you just want a good looking website thats affordable it will cost you around 2k-2.5k with 3-6 months of free service feel free if you need any other advice regarding this
