How it works

From idea to the app stores

  1. 1

    Scope

    We agree the users, the core journey and the features, then send a fixed scope and price in writing.

  2. 2

    Design

    User flows and the key screens for your review, where design is part of the scope.

  3. 3

    Build

    The app and its backend, built in milestones, with a working build on your phone at each one.

  4. 4

    Release

    Beta, production builds and store submission through your own accounts, including review fixes.

Our promises

Hiring a remote app team, without the risk

Four commitments on every project, in writing.

  • Scope in writing.

    Every project starts with a written scope, price and milestone plan you approve.

  • Your code, your store accounts.

    Code lives in your organisation’s repositories, and the app is published through your own Apple and Google accounts wherever possible.

  • Builds you can try.

    You see the app working on real devices at each milestone, not only at the end.

  • Your time zone, our process.

    A regular meeting slot agreed at kickoff, with written updates in between.

Built with Flutter or React Native, native modules where a feature needs them, and a backend we build or connect to yours.

FAQ

Questions before you build an app

How much does mobile app development cost?

Projects start from $3,500 (₹2.5 lakh in India) for a simple business app, $6,000 (₹4 lakh in India) for an MVP, $12,000 (₹8 lakh in India) for a business app, $20,000 (₹15 lakh in India) for a complex product and $30,000 (₹25 lakh in India) for an advanced platform. These are starting points; the final price depends on platforms, features, design, backend and integrations, and you get a written quote before work starts.

How long does it take to build a mobile app?

A focused MVP typically takes eight to twelve weeks; larger apps are delivered in phases over several months. Store review adds some time at the end, which varies by platform. You try working builds at each milestone rather than waiting for the finish.

iOS, Android or both — and native, cross-platform or web?

For most business apps, one cross-platform codebase in Flutter or React Native covers iPhone and Android, with native modules where a feature needs platform-specific code. Separate native apps make sense when the product depends heavily on one platform’s capabilities. If you do not need the app stores, a web app or PWA may serve you better. We recommend based on your requirements.

Can you build the backend too?

Yes — APIs, business logic, databases, authentication and admin tools, built alongside the app so the two fit together. If you already have an API, we review it first and extend it where we have access, or work with the team that owns it.

Custom software development

Can you publish the app to the App Store and Google Play?

Yes. We prepare signed production builds, store listings and screenshots, submit the app and handle any review feedback — publishing through your own Apple Developer and Google Play accounts wherever possible.

Who owns the source code?

Ownership and intellectual-property terms are set out in the project agreement, which you review before work starts. Code is kept in repositories under your organisation’s accounts, and store listings in your own developer accounts.

Can you rebuild an app or work with our existing team?

Yes. We look at how people use the current app and where it falls short, then improve the UX, the architecture or both — rebuilding in stages where a full rewrite is not justified. We can also extend an app your team started, with shared repositories and reviews.

Do you provide support after launch?

Yes. Post-launch support is available based on your project’s requirements — OS compatibility updates, dependency and store updates, fixes, performance work and new features — and is scoped and priced with you.
