Mobile app development

Apps planned before they are built

Most app projects go over budget because nobody wrote down what the first version should do. We start with a two-week discovery sprint that ends in a clickable prototype and a fixed quote, then build for iOS and Android from one codebase.

How it works

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Two weeks of workshops, flows and a prototype. You leave with a scope and a fixed quote, whether or not you build with us.

  2. 02

    Design

    We design every screen in the first release and test the main flows.

  3. 03

    Build

    We work in two-week sprints and send you test builds on your own phone.

  4. 04

    Release

    We submit to both stores, handle review feedback and monitor the first weeks of use.

What clients say

“The app they built for us is easy to use and looks great. It changed our mobile presence and brought a clear jump in user engagement.”

Questions

Not answered here? Call +1 646-757-1774 or send us a message.

How much does it cost to build an app?

Discovery is $2,500. A first release (MVP) on iOS and Android starts at $25,000. Native apps, compliance-heavy apps and platforms start at $60,000. The fixed price comes out of discovery.

How long does an MVP take?

Most MVPs take 10 to 16 weeks after discovery, depending on the number of screens and integrations.

Native or cross-platform?

Cross-platform (React Native or Flutter) fits most business apps and costs less to maintain. We recommend native when an app depends heavily on device hardware or platform-specific features.

Who owns the code?

You do, once the project is paid. The code lives in a repository you control, and the store listings are under your developer accounts.
