We don't publish fixed prices — great mobile apps are scoped around your goals. But here's how our engagements are structured.
Ship a focused, production-quality mobile MVP to validate your idea and attract investment. Built lean. Built fast. Built right.
A full-featured product with advanced functionality, polished UX, and infrastructure ready for thousands of users from day one.
A full embedded product team — designers, developers, QA — working exclusively on your product on an ongoing monthly engagement.
Mobile app costs vary widely. Here are the factors that move the number — and what you can control.
Every feature adds design and development time. A social login screen takes 2 days; a real-time chat system takes 2 weeks. The more focused your MVP scope, the faster and more cost-effective the build. We help you prioritize ruthlessly in the discovery phase.
With React Native, both platforms share ~90% of the same codebase — so building for both costs significantly less than native development for each. We typically recommend building both from day one. iOS-only or Android-only is an option for extremely tight budgets.
A simple CRUD app with user accounts costs far less than a platform with real-time data sync, payment processing, and complex third-party APIs. We scope backend complexity carefully — sometimes Firebase covers everything; other times you need a custom microservices architecture.
A clean, functional UI that follows platform conventions costs less to design and build than a fully custom, animation-heavy design system. Both are valid — it depends on whether design is a competitive differentiator for your product or a functional requirement.
Compressed timelines sometimes require expanding the team, which increases cost. Our standard sprints are designed for quality and predictability — rushing typically leads to technical debt that costs more to fix later. We're transparent about what's achievable and when.
Apps need maintenance — iOS and Android release updates that require compatibility patches, bugs get reported, and features evolve. We offer optional post-launch retainer plans from a few hours per month to a full dedicated team. Factor this into your budget from the start.
