DIRECT ANSWER
A mosque app costs from free–USD 200/month on a shared or white-label platform, to about RM 35,000 for a custom build at DuaLab (8–12 weeks). Most mosques should start with subscription. Custom earns its cost only when templates refuse local FPX/DuitNow collection, a madrasah module, or integration with an institution system.
Three Ways to Get a Mosque App
| Option | Typical cost | When it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Shared platform | Free to low monthly | Worshippers already on the app; you need a profile, not a product |
| White-label subscription | Monthly licence | Announcements + prayer times under your logo; roadmap is the vendor’s |
| Custom build | RM 35,000 at DuaLab (~USD 8,000) | Local payment rails, class/madrasah module, or owned codebase |
The full decision tree is in Custom vs White-Label Mosque App. This page is the money view of the same choice.
What Does the Custom Quote Cover?
DuaLab’s custom mosque app tier usually includes the mosque’s own prayer/iqamah times, announcements, events, and sadaqah/infaq/wakaf collection through FPX and DuitNow QR. Zakat is calculate-and-route (or wakalah) — never a private till — because collection sits with each state’s Majlis Agama Islam.
Agencies quote roughly USD 10,000–18,000 for similar scope. Use the cost calculator (product type Mosque) for an indicative band.
When Is Custom Not Worth It?
- You only need prayer times and push announcements — white-label wins on price and speed.
- The office still runs yuran on WhatsApp and needs a web system first — see App or Web System First and institution systems (RM 20,000).
- Nobody will maintain a custom app after handover and no retainer is budgeted.
