Offshore Mobile App Development Company

An offshore mobile app development company designs, builds and maintains apps for clients in other countries. You work with its engineers remotely through shared tools and scheduled calls. 8ration has done this for over 10 years and offers dedicated teams, fixed-price projects and staff augmentation.

Cost depends on features, platforms and integrations. At 8ration, simple apps run $20,000 to $50,000, mid-level apps $55,000 to $150,000 and complex apps $160,000 to $400,000 or more, and offshore rates can save you up to 60% compared with hiring locally. Our app cost calculator gives you a quick estimate.

The main benefits are lower cost, faster hiring and access to senior skills that can be hard to hire locally. You can start with a ready team instead of recruiting for months, scale headcount up or down and keep your in-house staff on core work.

At 8ration, you get access to Jira and Confluence from the first day, plus an agreed reporting cadence. Sprint check-ins, demos and calls happen during hours that overlap with your day. When something changes, the team tells you directly before it affects the delivery date.

Offshore teams work in distant countries with large time differences and lower rates. Nearshore teams sit in nearby countries with similar hours and higher costs. For a US company, India or the Philippines would be offshore and Mexico would be nearshore. We schedule overlapping hours to close that gap.

Common offshore choices include India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Vietnam, Poland and Romania. Each offers a different mix of rates, English skills and time-zone fit. The best choice depends less on the country than on the company, so check its portfolio, verified reviews, security certifications and communication process.

A simple app takes 2 to 4 months, a medium-complexity app 4 to 9 months and an enterprise-grade app 9 to 12 months or more. With an offshore partner, the team is already in place, so you skip months of local recruiting before the first sprint.

We sign an NDA at the start of your first consultation. Every project follows ISO 27001 information security controls, code goes through review, and sensitive apps follow the OWASP mobile security methodology. Your ideas and business data stay confidential from first call to final delivery.

Yes. You can keep 8ration on after launch for updates, security patches, performance work and new features. Most of our client relationships run well past the first build. You can also hire offshore app developers from us through staff augmentation and add them to your in-house team.
