为大型企业客户构建应用程序的加拿大技术领导者表示，渥太华为 ArriveCan 标价 5400 万美元的价格令人难以容忍，并解释说，根据他们的经验，大多数应用程序的构建成本都低于 100 万美元。

他们还质疑为什么政府不直接向加拿大应用程序开发商求助，而是向 23 个独立承包商和数量未知的其他分包商求助.

Canadian tech leaders who have built apps for large corporate clients have described Ottawa’s $54-million price tag for ArriveCan as outrageous, explaining that in their experience, most apps are built for less than $1-million.

They also question why the government did not turn directly to a Canadian app developer rather than 23 separate contractors and an unknown number of additional subcontractors.
