Apps are the most commonly under-quoted work in this industry, because the build is maybe half the total cost. These prices include store submission, analytics, crash reporting and the first support window — the parts that get quietly omitted elsewhere.
Worth reading before comparing tiers — it's usually the difference between buying the right one and buying the cheap one twice.
App store submission and review, which can bounce for reasons unrelated to code. Analytics and crash reporting, without which you're blind after launch. Backend infrastructure and its running cost. Ongoing OS updates — both platforms ship breaking changes annually. A quote covering only the build is not a quote for an app.
React Native covers both platforms from one codebase and suits the large majority of apps — it's what we'd usually recommend. Fully native is worth the roughly 70% cost increase when you need heavy graphics, deep hardware access or platform-specific interface conventions that users will notice.
The first month post-launch always surfaces things testing didn't: real devices, real networks, real user behaviour. Every tier includes a support window for exactly that, and we'd strongly recommend budgeting for ongoing development rather than treating launch as the finish line.
Honest starting points for typical scope. Your itemised quote is free and usually lands within one business day.
Prove the idea with real users.
A real product, built to grow.
Scale, compliance and complexity.
Prices are honest starting points for typical scope — complex projects are quoted precisely, and the quote is always free.
Not upsells, and not reserved for the top tier — the baseline we think any agency should meet.
The same sequence every time, so you always know which stage you're in and what's coming next.
What the app must do in version one — and, more usefully, what it must not do yet.
Full interface design and a clickable prototype before any code. Changing a prototype costs hours; changing an app costs weeks.
Two-week sprints with a working build you can install at the end of each one.
Real devices, real networks, real conditions. Simulators hide most of what actually breaks.
Store listings, screenshots, privacy declarations and review — including handling rejections.
The first month always surfaces something. That's what the window is for.
Direct answers, including the ones other agencies dodge.
Real humans, one business day.
The MVP tier starts at $8,900 and genuinely covers a working, submitted app with a backend. Anyone quoting $3,000 is either using a template builder or omitting backend, submission and support — and you'll meet those costs later, usually at a worse moment.
