App development inquiry form template

This five-step app development inquiry form asks the type of app, the platform, the state of the design and the timeline, followed by the contact details. You can clone it into your Growform account and ask about budget too.

What the form asks, step by step

The questions scope a project the way a studio would on a discovery call. Budget is not asked in the template, and you can add it.

  1. Step 1: “What type of app do you want to develop?”

    Mobile, web or desktop decides which developers look at the brief.

  2. Step 2: “Which platform will your app be on?”

    iOS, Android, Windows or cross-platform changes the estimate considerably.

  3. Step 3: “Do you have existing design assets?”

    Finished designs can shorten a project, while none means design work first.

  4. Step 4: “What’s your project timeline?”

    Timelines from one month to no rush show how the project fits your schedule.

  5. Step 5: “How shall we contact you?”

    Name, email and phone come last.

  6. After submitting

    Rewrite the thank-you to say when a scoping call or rough estimate will follow.

Who it’s for

App development agencies, freelance developers and software studios use this template on their contact page. It works as a short mobile app questionnaire that tells you the app type, platform, design state and timeline before the first call. Prospects with no design and no rush need a different proposal from those with finished designs and a launch date. For larger bespoke systems, the software development template is a better fit.

Why this structure converts

  • Platform choices are plain words such as iOS and Android, which non-technical founders can answer.
  • The design question gives three honest answers, including “No, need help”.
  • “No rush” on the timeline lets early-stage founders finish the form without inventing a deadline.

Make it yours

  • Add a budget step

    The template does not ask about budget. Add a banded step after the timeline so proposals match what the prospect can spend.

  • Ask for a short description

    A text step asking what the app should do gives your team context that four buttons cannot.

  • Let prospects share files

    Add a file upload for wireframes or specifications when the prospect already has design assets.

Frequently asked questions

What should an app development questionnaire ask?

At first contact it should ask the type of app, the platforms, what design work exists, the timeline and the budget. This template covers everything except the budget.

Can I use it for web apps?

Yes. The first step includes web and desktop apps, and the platform step can be renamed for browsers or operating systems.

Where do project inquiries go?

Inquiries are emailed to you and can go to HubSpot, Pipedrive, ClickUp or Jira so the team can start scoping.
