The timeline for developing software for the media and entertainment industry varies considerably depending on the software type, features, the selected technologies, and the development team’s expertise. A simple music streaming service app with basic functionality can take 3 to 6 months to develop, while more complex solutions with advanced features like multi-device compatibility or AI-driven personalization require 6 to over 12 months.

The cost of developing media and entertainment software varies widely and starts from $10,000 for a simple app with limited functionality. The final project cost depends on multiple factors, including the development approach (platform-based vs custom media and entertainment software), the solution’s complexity, features, the use of cutting-edge technologies, and location of the development team.
