There has been no sign of decreasing user count or even in the revenue. But what makes this app so popular? What does a media streaming app like Netflix offer that is different from other video streaming apps in similar genres? This is the question which you must know before you plan on getting your own VOD App Like Netflix developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-unique-concept\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Unique_Concept\"><\/span>1. Unique Concept<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When launched, Netflix was one of its kinds. There was no other app available in the market that offers online streaming and this is what attracted users to this app. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-high-quality-videos\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_High-quality_Videos\"><\/span>2. High-quality Videos<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Netflix never compromised with the quality of videos. With time and the invention of technology, video quality has definitely improved. Users can also opt for the video quality they want to stream their videos in and now, Netflix even has an option for HD video streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-original-content\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Original_Content\"><\/span>3. Original Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What Netflix brought and attracted users the most was the type of content. It has everything from comedy, to action to thriller. Users with different tastes and choices can stream the kind of content they like, unlike television where they had to see what&#8217;s been telecasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4-247-entertainment\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_247_Entertainment\"><\/span>4. 24*7 Entertainment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Users these days do not have much time to spent in front of those TVs to watch their favorite shows. Netflix removed this concept and allowed users to watch the content as and when users want. You can now even download videos and can watch them later without having an active internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"5-one-month-free-trial\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_One_Month_Free-Trial\"><\/span>5. One Month Free-Trial<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;This is a very smart move to woo users. Netflix offers a one-month trial period for users to first see what this app has and find their interest.

Now let&#8217;s move on to our main topic and know about how to make a VOD App like Netflix, what is the cost of making such an app, and what features you must include in your app to make it a success. So, let&#8217;s begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-get-started-for-ott-video-app-development\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_Started_for_OTT_Video_App_Development\"><\/span>How to Get Started for OTT Video App Development?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Video streaming app development is a complicated process, and before directly going to a mobile app development company and getting an app developed, here are a few steps which you must follow beforehand. Following these steps will ensure that your whole process is streamlined and you have not missed any aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-find-your-niche\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Find_your_niche\"><\/span>1. Find your niche<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is one of the first things which you must finalize before going to any entertainment app development company. This is where you decide what type of content you are going to have on your app or what kind of users you want. For example, are you going to show educational videos or videos related to fitness or just pure entertainment videos. This is very important to determine so that, based on the niche you choose, you can include the features in your app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-how-to-get-the-content\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_How_to_get_the_content\"><\/span>2. How to get the content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you are sure of what type of content you are going to have on your app, the next step is to determine the ways of getting that content. Are you going to make your own videos and post the original content or you are planning to have the content from various distributors and then show it on your app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have planned to get the videos from the distributors as well, you will have to work on getting the license and copyright for them or you can also rent the videos from any authorized distributors. You must sort all these things at the very beginning so that you do not face any trouble afterward. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-choose-the-right-monetization-model\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Choose_the_right_monetization_model\"><\/span>3. Choose the right monetization model<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have decided to go for on-demand video streaming app development, the most important thing is to find how you are going to earn from this idea. As discussed earlier, Netflix works on the subscription-based model, you must also choose your monetization model. You may choose from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>i) Subscription-based model<\/strong>: In this model, business owners earn when any user subscribes to any services just like Netflix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ii)<\/strong> <strong>Advertisement-based model:<\/strong>&nbsp;In this model, business owners earn by charging other companies for running their ads in between the videos on your app, just like YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>iii)<\/strong> <strong>Pay-Per-View:<\/strong>&nbsp;This is where users have to pay for every video they watch, and business owners can earn money from that, just like iTunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/semidotinfotech.com\/request-a-quote?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=semidot_blog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"192\" src=\"https:\/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/OTT-or-VOD-App-Development-CTA-1024x192.png\" alt=\"OTT\/VOD App Development CTA\" class=\"wp-image-6430\" srcset=\"\/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/OTT-or-VOD-App-Development-CTA-1024x192.png 1024w, \/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/OTT-or-VOD-App-Development-CTA-300x56.png 300w, \/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/OTT-or-VOD-App-Development-CTA-768x144.png 768w, \/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/OTT-or-VOD-App-Development-CTA-380x71.png 380w, \/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/OTT-or-VOD-App-Development-CTA-800x150.png 800w, \/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/OTT-or-VOD-App-Development-CTA-1160x218.png 1160w, \/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/OTT-or-VOD-App-Development-CTA.png 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4-look-for-other-requirement\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Look_for_other_Requirement\"><\/span>4.

You must reach out to a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/semidotinfotech.com\/services\/mobile-app-development-company\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">mobile app development company<\/a><\/strong> that has enough experience in creating a video streaming app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>iii) Internet Speed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have videos in HD and HDR the internet speed must be really good, and to stream videos without HD, you need a minimum speed of 2 Mbps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>iv) Cloud Architecture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must choose your cloud platform very smartly as you will require space to save all your content, and with time, you will have to go for the platform that is expandable and can accommodate all your future storage needs too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>v)<\/strong> <strong>Security<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This goes without saying that you must focus on the safety and security of our app. Since your app will require to store users\u2019 information like payment details, choosing a secure solution is very important. You can opt for various measures like domain restriction and geographical restriction to prevent content from a particular domain or any location or you can also go by watermarking your content from saving it from any misuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 id=\"now-that-we-know-the-steps-to-follow-before-proceeding-with-the-whole-video-streaming-app-development-process-lets-have-a-look-at-the-features-now\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Now that we know the steps to follow before proceeding with the whole video streaming app development process, let\u2019s have a look at the features now.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"must-have-features-to-include-in-vod-app-development\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Must-have_Features_to_include_in_VOD_App_Development\"><\/span>Must-have Features to include in VOD App Development<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is an important section to consider for those who want to get details of how to make a streaming service like Netflix.

This way user can watch the content in the language they prefer and can even change their preferred language to their native language while browsing your app. this adds too much convenience as people are more comfortable with their native language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><h4 id=\"multiple-device-support-2\">Multiple Device Support<\/h4><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"952\" height=\"773\" src=\"https:\/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Video-Streaming-Multiple-Devices-Support.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8274\" style=\"width:461px;height:374px\" srcset=\"\/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Video-Streaming-Multiple-Devices-Support.png 952w, \/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Video-Streaming-Multiple-Devices-Support-300x244.png 300w, \/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Video-Streaming-Multiple-Devices-Support-768x624.png 768w, \/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Video-Streaming-Multiple-Devices-Support-380x309.png 380w, \/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Video-Streaming-Multiple-Devices-Support-800x650.png 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 952px) 100vw, 952px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>These days people like watching the content as and when they are comfortable and for this, you must ensure that your app is compatible with the majority of the devices and with all operating systems. &nbsp;Instead of going for just native app development, you can opt for cross-platform app development. This will not only save money but more and more users will have access to your app now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><h4 id=\"live-video-streaming\">Live Video Streaming<\/h4><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great option to offer if you are planning to have fitness or sports related content on your app. People like watching cricket or football matches live and rather than seeing on TV, these VOD apps are really convenient. The same goes for any fitness or any educational videos. Users can easily interact with their trainer or teacher via live learning session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><h4 id=\"multiple-payment-option\">Multiple Payment Option<\/h4><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your app requires users to pay for the content or even subscribe to your services, then you must integrate a variety of payment modes so that they can choose the one that suits them the best and make the payments accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><h4 id=\"watch-it-later\">Watch it Later<\/h4><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving users an option to download their favorite content and watch it later even without having an active internet connection is a great way of keeping them on your app. This way users can conveniently watch their favorite shows and movies when they have time for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><h4 id=\"create-a-playlist\">Create a Playlist<\/h4><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There is usually too much content and users often get confused about which one to go for.

However, here are the most common technologies that are used:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Programming Language:<\/strong> Java, Python, Swift, Kotlin<br><strong>Database:<\/strong> MySQL, MongoDB, Cassandra<br><strong>Cloud Hosting:<\/strong> Amazon EC2<br><strong>JavaScript Library:<\/strong> React<br><strong>Cluster Management:<\/strong> Dynomite<br><strong>API Tools:<\/strong> Falcor<br><strong>Server:<\/strong> Nginx<br><strong>Routing:<\/strong> Bird Daemon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"factors-affecting-the-video-streaming-app-development-cost\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Factors_Affecting_the_Video_Streaming_App_Development_Cost\"><\/span>Factors Affecting the Video Streaming App Development Cost<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, this is the most common question, which anyone who is planning for getting an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oxagile.com\/competence\/custom-video-solutions\/ott-apps\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OTT<\/a> app development solution developed, ask us. So, here is a breakdown of the factors that affect the cost of video streaming app development, and once you get a knack for it, you will be able to understand the cost in a better way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-features\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Features\"><\/span>1. Features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your <a href=\"https:\/\/semidotinfotech.com\/mobile-app-development-cost\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Mobile<\/strong> <strong>app development cost<\/strong><\/a> majorly and predominantly depends on the features you tend to include. The more complex it is to integrate that particular feature o the more the number of features the more time developers take it to develop, and thus the cost of video streaming app development is increased. So, if you are not willing to spend too much in the beginning the best way is to get the basic features first and move to the advanced ones only when your app gets popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-platform\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Platform\"><\/span>2. Platform<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another factor that affects the video streaming app development cost is the platform that you choose for your app development. Both <a href=\"https:\/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/cost-to-develop-an-ios-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iOS app development cost<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/android-app-development-cost\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cost to create an Android app<\/a> is different as the tools and technologies used are different. So, based on the platform you choose, your app development cost will vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-app-design\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_App_Design\"><\/span>3. App Design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The more complex design you choose for your app the more it will put a strain on your budget. However, design plays an important role in attracting and retaining the users on your app, and hence you must hire a UI UX designer to get your app designed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"4-location-of-app-development\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Location_of_App_Development\"><\/span>4. Location of App Development<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is something which we have discussed quite many times. Based on the location of your app developer the cost will vary, and the main reason behind this is that the app developers in countries like the USA and Europe charge more than the developers in India and other Asian countries. So, if you want to save some extra money here, go for the developers who charge less on an hourly basis. Here are some of the charges based on different regions-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>India-based developers-&nbsp;$20 to $40&nbsp;per hour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>USA-based developers \u2013&nbsp;$70 to $150&nbsp;per hour<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Developers from eastern Europe \u2013&nbsp;$60 to $120&nbsp;per hour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"5-development-team-size\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Development_Team_Size\"><\/span>5. Development Team Size<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, the cost that you pay for getting any app developed is the average of the total hourly rate of the development team working on your project. Thus, the bigger the team size, the more will be the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, in almost every mobile app development company, the team that will work on your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/semidotinfotech.com\/video-streaming-app-development\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">on-demand video streaming app development<\/a><\/strong> project will consist of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>UI\/UX Designer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Front-end developers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Backend Developers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Specialist Developers (Android or iOS)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quality Analyst<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Project Manager<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-much-does-it-cost-to-develop-an-app-like-netflix\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Much_Does_It_Cost_to_Develop_an_App_Like_Netflix\"><\/span>How Much Does It Cost to Develop an App Like Netflix?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, it is the most common question asked by business persons who are planning to have an OTT app development solution. Therefore, above we have described all the factors that affect the cost of video streaming app development, and once you get a knack for it, you will be able to understand the cost in a better way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, based on these factors, the cost to develop an app like Netflix would be around <strong>$15,000 to $40,000<\/strong>. This cost is directly proportional to the number of hours taken to develop an app along with other aspects. Your specific business requirements can fluctuate this estimated cost anytime, hence make the decision accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"final-words\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Words\"><\/span>Final Words<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is everything that you need to know before getting an app like Netflix developed for your business. As said, the process of VOD App development is not simple but if you choose the right mobile app development company the whole process can become a lot smoother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This whole blog is based on the Netflix model and if you want you can either get a VOD App like Netflix developed or can get a fully customized video streaming app as per your requirement. There is a huge demand for apps like Netflix in the market, so do not wait much and get your app developed now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/semidotinfotech.com\/request-a-quote?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=semidot_blog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"137\" src=\"https:\/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Get-an-App-like-NetFlix-CTA-1-1024x137.png\" alt=\"Get an app like Netflix CTA\" class=\"wp-image-6432\" srcset=\"\/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Get-an-App-like-NetFlix-CTA-1-1024x137.png 1024w, \/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Get-an-App-like-NetFlix-CTA-1-300x40.png 300w, \/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Get-an-App-like-NetFlix-CTA-1-768x102.png 768w, \/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Get-an-App-like-NetFlix-CTA-1-380x51.png 380w, \/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Get-an-App-like-NetFlix-CTA-1-800x107.png 800w, \/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Get-an-App-like-NetFlix-CTA-1-1160x155.png 1160w, \/\/semidotinfotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Get-an-App-like-NetFlix-CTA-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"These days, more than people watching TV, they like to watch content on the video streaming apps like Netflix.
