If you’re considering breaking into the app developer industry, it would be nice to know whether the effort required is truly worth it. While we wouldn’t encourage anyone to take a job just because of the money, knowing the average app developer salary can help!

The salary for an app developer starts from $62,000 per year for an entry-level developer in the US, going up to approximately $100,000 per year for senior app developers. 

If you’re looking for a job that offers the best prospects even when the world is undergoing massive change, you could do much worse than becoming an app developer. 

The rise of technology in our lives and the increased complexity of modern devices means there always needs to be somebody to create, repair, bug fix, refine and test the software that powers them.

But how much can you expect to earn as a developer? What’s the average app developer salary? What skills do you need to become one?

So as to not bury the headline, we’ll outline the app developer salary first. Then we’ll cover the role, the types of programming languages you’ll need and the main career stages.

Web hosting is one of the unavoidable costs of running a website. Alongside domains, they are the only expenses you cannot do without. And if you've been around hosting, you surely know about one of the biggest names out there, GoDaddy who has a global presence and a huge customer base. This GoDaddy hosting review will tear this host down so that we can answer some questions.

Are they any good? Does the company provide reliable services for a fair price?

As GoDaddy will likely appear in many ‘best web host’ comparisons, we thought we would take an unbiased look at their pricing to see if they are genuinely worth the cost.
