UI/UX Design Cost for Apps and Websites in India
Design pricing is confusing because it is sold per screen, per hour or per project, and 'UI/UX' can mean anything from a nicer look to full user research. This guide separates the pieces so you can compare quotes on what's actually delivered.
Design cost by scope
| Option | What you get | Typical cost | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Landing page | One long page, desktop + mobile, 2 revision rounds | ₹25K – ₹75K | 1–2 weeks |
| Business website (8–12 pages) | Page designs, components, responsive layouts | ₹60K – ₹1.5L | 2–4 weeks |
| App MVP (25–60 screens) | User flows, wireframes, UI, clickable prototype, handoff | ₹40K – ₹1.5L | 2–5 weeks |
| Product with design system | Research, full UI, component library, usability testing | ₹1.5L – ₹4L+ | 5–10 weeks |
Estimate your own budget
Choose what your design project includes.
Starting point: app UI for about 25 screens with flows, wireframes, visual design and developer handoff. This is a planning range, not a quote — the final price depends on detailed scope.

Number of unique screens
Repeated layouts are cheap; each genuinely new screen type takes design and review time.
Research and testing
Talking to users before and after designing prevents expensive development changes.
Design system
Up-front work, but it speeds up every future screen and keeps the product consistent.
Revisions
Unlimited revisions usually means unclear goals. Agree rounds and decision makers upfront.
Branding
If you don't have a brand yet, it needs to come before UI design.
Where the time goes in an app MVP design
For a ₹1L app design project:
| Line item | Share of budget | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery and user flows | 15% | Goals, users, journeys |
| Wireframes | 20% | Layout and hierarchy before visuals |
| Visual UI | 40% | Final screens, states, dark/light where needed |
| Prototype | 10% | Clickable Figma prototype |
| Handoff and developer support | 15% | Specs, assets, answering questions during build |
Costs people forget to budget for
Content and copy
Designs need real text. Copywriting is often not included.
Illustrations and photography
Custom illustrations or photo shoots are separate.
Design changes during development
If design is done by a separate vendor, budget for adjustments.
Tool licences
Figma and font licences for your team.
Design pricing models
| Per screen | Hourly | Fixed project | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Predictability | Medium | Low | High |
| Encourages | More screens | More hours | Clear scope |
| Includes UX thinking | Often not | If you ask | Usually |
| Best for | Simple visual refresh | Ongoing design support | New products and MVPs |
How to spend less without cutting corners
- Design and build with one team. Designers and developers in the same team avoid handoff gaps and redesign costs.
- Use a proven component library. Starting from Material or a solid UI kit saves time on standard elements.
- Design the core flow first. Settings and edge screens can use simpler layouts at MVP stage.
- Test with five users. Five usability sessions catch most major issues before any code is written.
