  • Single codebase for iOS/Android
  • 30-40% cost savings vs native
  • Near-native performance

02.

React Native App Development

Develop iOS and Android apps in JavaScript with React Native. Share code and resources between platforms while maintaining native feel and performance.

  • JavaScript-based development
  • Code sharing between platforms
  • Rapid iteration and development

03.

Swift (iOS) Native Development

Build high-performance native iPhone and iPad apps in Swift. Leverage iOS features deeply for apps that demand top-tier performance or unique platform capabilities

DECISION GUIDE

Cross-Platform vs Native: Which Should You Choose?

The honest answer for most products: cross-platform wins on speed and budget; native wins on hardware-heavy performance. Here’s how we advise clients:

FactorCross-Platform (Flutter / React Native)Native (Swift / Kotlin)
Best forMVPs, B2C apps, internal tools, most startupsAR/VR, gaming, hardware-intensive, platform-first UX
Relative cost30–40% lower (one codebase)Higher (two codebases, two teams)
Time to market8–14 weeks typical12–20 weeks typical
PerformanceNear-native; fine for 90% of appsMaximum; direct hardware access
MaintenanceOne team, one release cycleTwo parallel release cycles
Our recommendationDefault choice — 80% of our buildsWhen performance or deep OS features are core
HOW WE WORK

Our Mobile App Development Process

 A fixed, transparent process refined over 60+ launches. You see working builds every two weeks no black boxes. Final app is production-ready, fully tested and App Store ready to submit.

1
Discovery & Scoping — Week 1
Define product concept, core user flows, and success metrics. Review competitive products. Align on key user scenarios to prototype. Set design direction and constraints.
2
Low-Fidelity Wireframing — Week 1-2
Create multiple wireframe concepts exploring different layouts and navigation patterns. Map core user flows. Validate structure and organization before investing in visual design.
3
High-Fidelity Design & Visual Styling — Week 2-3
Develop visual design language, apply branding, and build out high-fidelity designs. Create consistent component library. Design micro-interactions and motion details.
4
Interactive Prototype Development — Week 3-4
Build interactive prototypes in Figma with clickable flows, animations and transitions. Test interactions and refine. Ensure prototype feels responsive and natural to use.
5
User Testing & Iteration — Week 4
Run usability tests with target users on your prototype. Gather feedback on flows, messaging and design. Iterate based on findings to improve prototype quality.
6
Design Specs & Developer Handoff — Week 5
Create comprehensive design specifications, component library and developer handoff documentation. Prepare prototype for engineering or investor presentation. Answer all questions before handoff.

FAQS

Mobile App Development FAQs

How long does it take to build a mobile app?
For a production-ready mobile app with core features, 8 to 14 weeks typical for cross-platform (Flutter/React Native). Native apps (Swift/Kotlin) typically 12 to 20 weeks for parallel development. MVP with essential features can ship in 6 to 8 weeks.
Should we build for iOS, Android or both?
Launch both if possible. iOS users spend more and convert better; Android has larger market share. Cross-platform frameworks like Flutter let you ship both at once. Native if performance or specific device features are critical.
What's the difference between Flutter, React Native and native?
Flutter and React Native: single codebase for iOS/Android, faster to market, 30 percent lower cost. Native (Swift/Kotlin): maximum performance, access to latest OS features. Use cross-platform for most apps; native when you need OS-specific capabilities.
How much does a mobile app cost?
MVP with core features: $80K to $150K. Full-featured app: $150K to $300K+. Cost varies by complexity, timeline and platform choice. Get a fixed quote after discovery to know your investment upfront.
Do we need a backend or can we use Firebase?
Firebase is perfect for rapid development and MVPs. Use Firebase if you need quick time-to-market and don't need complex business logic. Build custom backend if you need specific server functionality, complex integrations or scalability requirements.
What happens after the app launches?
60-day warranty covering crashes and bugs. Provide ongoing maintenance for app updates, OS compatibility and feature additions. Advise on v1.1 features based on user feedback. Transition to maintenance support or hand off to in-house team.
How do we measure app success?
Track daily active users, retention (day 1, day 7, day 30), session length and conversion rates. Use analytics to understand which features users engage with. Run experiments to measure impact of new features.
Can we build an app if we have an existing website?
Yes. Modernize your web app into a mobile-first app. Repurpose backend APIs for mobile. Build native iOS/Android experiences instead of mobile web. Use PWAs if web app performance is acceptable.
