The cost of creating a Metaverse Development Platform can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, such as the scope and complexity of the platform, the size of the development team, and the technology stack used. Some estimates suggest that building a basic metaverse platform could cost anywhere from a few hundred thousand dollars to several million dollars. However, the cost could be much higher for a more advanced and feature-rich platform. Additionally, ongoing prices for hosting, maintenance, and updates would also need to be considered. It's hard to provide an accurate cost without knowing the details of what you want to build.

Despite many different technologies, you can significantly cut the cost to build a metaverse. And that can be realized by taking care of the following things:

Infrastructure – An accurate estimate of the infrastructure you need in developing the metaverse can go a long way. For example, an accurate number of VR glasses, headsets, smartphones, PCs, 5G networks you need can help you cut the cost of development.

Digital avatars – The digital replica of real individuals, the avatars need some intensive work. Understanding the user’s need, i.e whether they want to load a predesigned avatar or create an exact copy of themselves can affect the budget significantly. The more subtle the avatar’s ability in handling emotions and feelings, the more will be work on developers, hence the cost.

Security – another area where the cost to build metaverse can shoot up is security. Layering your metaverse development services in security nets will add to the overall production cost.
