Contract complexity is the first driver. A standard ERC-721 collection with fixed supply is quick to build and test, while custom sale mechanics, allowlists, staking, ERC-1155 editions with several token types or cross contract logic all add development and testing work. An independent security audit is a separate cost paid to the audit firm.
The second driver is everything around the contract. A full NFT marketplace with indexing, search, offers and an admin panel is a much larger build than a mint page, and mobile apps add store compliance work, wallet integration on two platforms and transaction status handling. Network fees on mainnet are paid on the chain and vary with network demand.
Mobile apps at SIZ Group start at $4,500, and NFT products are scoped on top of that based on contracts, chain and platforms. We confirm scope and price in writing after a free scoping call.
