Mobile App Development FAQs

Everything you need to know about our mobile app development services and how we work.

How much does it cost to build a mobile app?

Mobile app development costs typically range from $50,000 for a simple MVP to $300,000+ for complex enterprise apps. The cost depends on features, platforms (iOS/Android/both), design complexity, and backend requirements. We offer transparent, usage-based pricing, pay only for the developers you use.

Get a detailed cost breakdown →

How long does it take to develop a mobile app?

A typical MVP takes 3-4 months to build and launch. A full-featured mobile app takes 6-9 months, while complex enterprise applications can take 9-12+ months. Timeline depends on feature scope, platform choice (native vs cross-platform), and team size. We work in 2-week sprints so you see progress continuously.

Should I build for iOS or Android first?

It depends on your target market. iOS first if you're targeting US/Western Europe markets or need higher revenue per user. Android first for global reach or emerging markets. Build both simultaneously with a larger budget, or use cross-platform development (React Native/Flutter) to launch on both platforms faster and more cost-effectively.

Read our iOS vs Android guide →

What's the difference between native and cross-platform development?

Native custom app development means separate codebases for iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin), offering best performance and access to latest platform features but costing more. Cross-platform development (React Native, Flutter) uses one codebase for both platforms, saving 30-40% on costs and time but with minor trade-offs.

Read our detailed comparison →

Do you offer mobile app maintenance and support?

Yes. Mobile apps require ongoing maintenance for bug fixes, OS updates, security patches, and feature enhancements. We offer monthly maintenance plans starting at $2,000/month with proactive monitoring, fast response times, and no lock-in contracts.
