Most apps we build fall between $20,000 and $400,000+. A simple app or MVP usually costs $20,000 to $50,000. Mid-level apps run $55,000 to $150,000. Complex and enterprise apps start around $160,000. The main cost drivers are feature count, platforms, third-party integrations and design complexity. Book a free consultation and we will send a detailed estimate for your idea.

A simple app usually takes 2 to 4 months. Medium-complexity apps take 4 to 9 months, and enterprise-grade apps take 9 to 12 months or more. Discovery, client feedback rounds and App Store review all affect the schedule. We share a sprint-by-sprint timeline at the start so you can plan marketing and launch dates around it.

Native apps are written separately for iOS in Swift and for Android in Kotlin. They give the best performance and full access to device features like the camera and sensors. Cross-platform apps built in Flutter run on both systems from one codebase, which lowers cost and speeds up release. We recommend one based on your features, budget and audience.

We work with both. Startups usually come to us for an MVP that tests the core idea with real users before they raise more money or add features. Enterprises bring us larger programs with complex integrations, strict security needs and several user roles. The process stays the same. The scope, team size and timeline change to match.

Yes. We start with an audit of your code, architecture and app store ratings to find what needs fixing first.

From there we can redesign screens, fix performance problems, add new features or rebuild parts of the app.

Yes. Our maintenance plans cover OS compatibility updates, crash monitoring, security patches, performance tuning and new feature releases.

Start with the portfolio and look for live apps you can download. Read verified reviews on Clutch or GoodFirms and ask for references. Ask how the company reports progress and who will write your code. Check its security practices and how it handles scope changes. A good partner answers all of these plainly on the first call.
