Mobile app development

An iOS and Android app together with its backend, admin panel and store release. We start with a free prototype of the key screens - before any contract or payment.

Free, before the contractFree prototype ↗

Mobile app development is building an iOS and Android app together with its server, admin panel and release in the App Store and Google Play. An app pays off when users come back regularly or you need phone features: camera, notifications, location.

An app is more than what you see on the phone. Behind it are a server, a database, an admin panel, push notifications, payments and store rules that Apple and Google change every year. So we build all of it together: the app and what it runs on.

We released Vosmeet ourselves - a video calling app available in the App Store and Google Play. We've been through review, in-app payments and supporting real users, so we know where projects usually get stuck.

What's included

01Prototype and design

Flows and key screens before code. The prototype of the first screens is free - it shows whether we're building the right thing.

02iOS and Android

Cross-platform or native - chosen for the task. If the app needs the camera, calls or background work, we explain what that changes in time and cost.

03Backend and API

Server, database, auth, roles. If you already have a website or CRM, the app works with the same data.

04Payments and subscriptions

In-app purchases, subscriptions and card payments where store rules allow them.

05Push notifications and analytics

Notifications that don't annoy, and analytics that show where users drop off.

06Release and support

Builds, screenshots and descriptions, App Store and Google Play review. After launch - updates for new iOS and Android versions.

Apps we've built

All work ↗

What people come with

  • 01A working website or service, and customers need an app with the same data.
  • 02A product idea that needs a first version to test with real users.
  • 03An app for your own staff: requests, field visits, records, photos from sites.
  • 04An existing app that's hard to develop further or keeps failing review.
What we say upfront

Not everyone needs an app. If a website or a Telegram bot does the job, we'll say so: it's faster and cheaper, and users don't have to install anything. An app makes sense when people come back regularly or you need phone features.

How the work goes

  1. 012-3 daysProject review

    Who the users are, what they do in the app, whether you need native at all.

  2. 023-5 daysKey screens prototype

    Free, before the contract. We quote the first version from it.

  3. 031-2 weeksDesign

    Screens for iOS and Android, respecting their native gestures and elements.

  4. 044-8 weeksFirst version

    App, backend, admin panel. Every 2 weeks - a build you can install on your phone.

  5. 051-2 weeksReview and launch

    App Store and Google Play release. Apple review can be strict - we plan time for fixes.

  6. 06ongoingGrowth

    Updates, new features from feedback, support for new OS versions.

What the cost of an app depends on

01Number of screens and flows

A catalogue with a request form and an app with accounts, chat and payments are different scopes.

02One platform or both

iOS and Android together are usually cheaper cross-platform, but not for every task.

03Backend

A ready API, or a server built from scratch.

04Phone features

Camera, location, calls, background work and offline mode add work.

05Payments and subscriptions

In-app purchases need separate setup and testing in each store.

The exact quote comes after the prototype: first version first, then iterations.

No “from” and no hidden lines: one number, and we stick to it.

What we need and what you get

What we need from you

  • A description of the task: who will use the app and why
  • Access to your current website or CRM if the app uses their data
  • Developer accounts in the App Store and Google Play in your company's name - we'll help set them up
  • A person on your side who answers questions about the flows

What you get

  • The app in the App Store and Google Play on your account
  • Backend and admin panel for managing data
  • Source code and access - yours from day one
  • A guide for shipping updates

Contract, payment, warranty

01Contract

We work under a signed contract. Scope, quote and timeline are fixed before we start and do not change later.

0230% advance

30% when the contract is signed, 70% after you accept the finished work. Payment by invoice.

033 + 12 month warranty

For three months after launch we fix bugs and help with small edits free of charge. Bugs in our code are fixed free of charge for 12 months.

04Remote, worldwide

We work with clients in different countries: calls online, documents signed electronically.

Mistakes we avoid

01An app where a website would do

Installing is a barrier. If people visit once a year, an app won't pay off. We'll say it before we start.

02Everything at once

A first version with every idea ships in six months. We start with the main flow and grow from feedback.

03Leaving review for the end

We account for store rules from the prototype so the release doesn't stall on rejections.

04Store accounts on the contractor

We publish on your developer account. Otherwise you lose the app when you change contractors.

FAQ

How much does a mobile app cost?

Quoted individually, after a free prototype of the key screens. Apps vary a lot in scope, so we estimate the first version first and then work in iterations.

How long does it take?

A first version usually takes from six weeks, plus store review time. We give the exact timeline after the prototype.

Cross-platform or native?

Most business apps are fine cross-platform: one codebase for iOS and Android. Native is needed for heavy camera, calls or background work. We choose per task and explain why.

Whose account is the app published on?

Yours. We'll help set up developer accounts in the App Store and Google Play, so the app stays with you even if you change contractors.

Can you build an app for our website?

Yes. The app connects to the same data as your website or CRM, so nothing is tracked twice.

Maybe a Telegram bot is enough?

Sometimes it is, and then we'll say so. A bot is faster and cheaper, and users don't install anything. An app pays off when people come back often.
