What drives the cost
App and software development searches draw both serious buyers and students or freelancers looking for work. Filtering intent is the main cost lever.
What this budget buys
Using the typical bid range above:
- AED 5,000 a month: roughly 78 to 250 clicks at these bid levels
- AED 10,000 a month: roughly 156 to 500 clicks at these bid levels
- AED 20,000 a month: roughly 313 to 1,000 clicks at these bid levels
Clicks are only the start. What matters is how many of those clicks become enquiries, and that depends on the landing page and how fast your team replies.
What the landing page needs
For software and app development companies, the pages that turn clicks into enquiries usually have portfolio, process and budget ranges. Sending paid traffic to a generic home page is the most common reason costs look high.
