We build Android and iOS apps from one codebase, or a progressive web app when a store listing is not needed. Each app is designed for patchy networks, small storage and the phones your users really carry.

Think of it like this

Choosing between them is like choosing between a car, a scooter and a bus pass: each gets you there, at different costs and freedoms.

01 / 04

A native-style app is installed from Google Play or the App Store and can use the camera, GPS, notifications and offline storage fully.

02 / 04

Cross-platform tools like Flutter and React Native let one codebase run on both Android and iOS.

03 / 04

A progressive web app, or PWA, is a website that installs to the home screen and works partly offline, without store approval.

04 / 04

The right choice depends on what your users need the phone to do.

App design for both platforms

Screens designed to respect Android and iOS conventions while keeping your brand consistent. We test layouts on small, low-resolution screens.

  • App design for both platforms
  • Cross-platform app
  • Backend and APIs
  • Offline sync
  • Push notifications and deep links
  • Store publishing
An example

Picture a business like yours,in three frames.

A typical situation, not a client story. The line in each frame goes from tangled to straight as the work is done.

How it runs

Each leg is sized by how long it usually takes. Watch the baton go round, or tap a leg to jump there.

What shapes the quote

Four factors,four corners of your project.

Each corner grows when that factor is on the larger side. The outline is your project's footprint, and the quote follows it.

The decision

The question we hear most:Flutter, React Native or PWA?

The board turns through each option. Tap one to hold it and read the trade-off.

Pick this when

You want consistent design across devices and smooth performance on a wide range of Android phones.

The trade-off

Performance and UI control are excellent, though the app size is a little larger and it uses Dart, a less common language.

How we avoid it

We check whether a PWA meets the need before recommending a store app.

Mobile apps questions,answered plainly.

Search the answers. If yours is missing, ask us on the call.

Cost & timeHow long does an app take and what affects the cost?

A focused app with an existing backend can take eight to ten weeks. Apps with a new backend, offline sync and several user types take twelve to sixteen. Device features, backend scope, user types and languages drive the price.

Getting startedWhat developer accounts do we need?

A Google Play developer account and an Apple Developer Program membership, both in your organisation's name. Apple requires a D-U-N-S number for organisations, which can take time, so we start this early.

OwnershipWho owns the app and code?

You own the source code, store listings and all accounts. We work as invited team members and can be removed anytime.

Getting startedCan the app work without internet?

Yes. We store data on the device and sync when the connection returns. We agree which actions work offline and how conflicts are handled.

Cost & timeHow long do store reviews take?

Reviews often take a day or two, though first submissions and policy questions can take longer. We prepare privacy details and demo accounts in advance to avoid rejections.

After launchCan the app support Indian languages?

Yes. We build language switching and test layouts for Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and other scripts. Translations should be reviewed by fluent speakers on your team.

In IndiaCan customers pay with UPI inside the app?

Yes. Gateway SDKs from Razorpay, Cashfree or PhonePe open the customer's UPI app and return the result. Digital goods sold in-app may fall under store billing rules, which we check with you.

Getting startedWhat maintenance does an app need?

Both stores require apps to target recent OS versions, so yearly updates are necessary. Our monthly plan covers OS updates, crash fixes, dependency upgrades and store compliance.
