Netflix App Development

To create a Netflix clone app, follow the below laid out steps: 

• Identify your target audience 
• Create a large pool of engaging content 
• Study your competitors 
• Come up with a budget 
• Land on your revenue model 
• Find an experienced app developer 
• Create an MVP 
• Test, deploy, and update

The video steaming service market is filled with great apps like Netflix and we are experts at creating clone app for all the big names in the market:

• Hulu 
• Disney + 
• Apple TV 
• Amazon Prime 
• HBO Max

This is an incredibly subjective topic and the answer depends largely on what your business model is. That being said, there are a couple of revenue models you can choose from:  

• Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD): It is the pay per view revenue model in which your users pay only for what they want to watch.  
• Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD): Your users purchase a monthly/yearly subscription to get a full access to you content bank. However, you can have different types of subscriptions like Premium or VIP as well.  
• Ad-Supported Video on Demand (AVOD): In this model, most of the revenue is made by advertisements, like YouTube. 
• Hybrid: You can come up with your own revenue model by using elements from the above three revenue models that we talked about. The benefit of a Hybrid revenue model is that you get to experiment and find the best fit for your business model. 

App like Netflix need two key components: great content and a great infrastructure (severs, apps, etc.). The content part comes first. You need to get your hands on video content that would actually engage people and would want them to pay for your streaming service to check out. This can be achieved either by acquiring streaming rights from big production house for their top-tier content and you can start developing your own content, which obviously is a very expensive undertaking. Once you have content, you need a way to make it available to your users and this is where your infrastructure comes in.

A feature-rich mobile/web/T.V. app that is not only easy to use but is smart and does things to keep things interesting for your users, like make recommendations, would bring customers in droves to your streaming service. Lastly, your revenue model will also play a key role in the number of users you are able to gather. There is nothing wrong with a slightly expensive subscriptions given that you have the content and infrastructure to justify it. 

Much like its cost, predicting how much time it takes to develop a Netflix clone app is impossible. In the end, it would depend on how complex your app is. An app with all sorts of latest features, an app built to dominate the market will obviously require a longer development cycle than an MVP.
