Mobile App Development
A first version where the main journey works end to end, with room to grow.
Typically for
Founders planning the first version of an app.
Common problems this solves
- Too many features and no single journey that works end to end.
- Scope copied from a competitor's feature list.
- No plan for who maintains the app after launch.
MVP App (Single Platform)
A minimum viable product mobile application built for either iOS or Android. Contains up to 3 core features, user authentication, and basic backend connectivity. Designed to validate a business concept, test user demand, or serve as a functional proof of concept for investors. Includes App Store or Google Play submission support. Delivered as a production-ready mobile application.
Scope must be locked at brief stage. Every added feature adds 1–2 weeks. 3 core features maximum at this tier.
Full App (Single Platform)
A fully featured mobile application for either iOS or Android. Contains up to 15 screens, comprehensive feature implementation, push notifications, user accounts and profile management, in-app data handling, and App Store or Play Store submission. Suited for businesses building a digital product or deploying an operational tool for staff or customers. Delivered as a production-ready, submitted mobile application.
15 screens, full feature set, push notifications, App Store submission included. Backend complexity is the largest variable.
Cross-Platform App (iOS + Android)
A single codebase mobile application that runs natively on both iOS and Android platforms simultaneously. Includes all features of the Full App delivered across both platforms. Suited for businesses that need maximum market reach without commissioning two separate builds. Delivered as a production-ready app submitted to both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Single codebase reduces time versus two separate builds but cross-platform testing adds time.

Costs after launch
Websites and apps keep costing money after they're built: hosting, domain or app store renewals, and any paid tools they use. Before you approve a project, we list these costs, who pays them and how often, so the build price isn't a surprise later.
