I’d like to develop an online marketplace and service provider iOS app similar to the Airbnb app for my startup company. I need standard functions like email registration, user profile, listings etc. And special functions like: location tracking, map, booking system, embedded messenger for the host and customers, internet surveillance camera and rating system, payment system.

I have two questions:

-How much does it cost?

-Is it possible to develop it by myself and how long?(no programming background)

It’s super old.
And it’s obviously become a magnet for spammers.

Developing an app like Airbnb involves several cost factors, including UI/UX design, frontend & backend development, third-party integrations, and security features. The cost to develop an app like Airbnb varies based on app complexity, platform (iOS, Android, Web), and development team rates.

A basic app with essential features like user profiles, listings, bookings, and payments can cost $40,000–$80,000. A fully-featured platform with advanced AI-driven recommendations, smart pricing, and multi-language support can exceed $80,000+.
