FAQs

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to build an app?

App cost depends on complexity, the number of features and whether it's iOS, Android or both. We'll scope your idea and give you a clear, fixed quote with no surprises.

Should I build native or cross-platform?

It depends on your goals. Cross-platform (React Native or Flutter) is cost-effective and fast for most apps, while native gives maximum performance for demanding apps. We'll advise on the right route for you.

Can you build for both iOS and Android?

Yes. We build for both platforms and can launch your app on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Will you publish the app to the stores for me?

Yes. We handle the full submission and review process for both the App Store and Google Play, so your app goes live without the headache.

Do you maintain the app after launch?

We do. Mobile operating systems change constantly, so we offer ongoing maintenance, updates and improvements to keep your app working and current.
