How much does it cost to build a mobile app?

A mobile app MVP starts from $6k with our MVP Sprint, which runs 4 to 6 weeks. A larger app with payments, an admin portal and a security review starts from $12k as a Product Build of 8 to 14 weeks. These are starting prices; your fixed price is written into the proposal after a scoping call.

What does a mobile app cost, tier by tier?

Tier	Starts from	Typical duration	What it covers
MVP Sprint	$6k	4 to 6 weeks	Discovery, design system, one mobile MVP, one core integration, launch
Product Build	$12k	8 to 14 weeks	Everything in the Sprint, plus payments or ledger modules, admin portal, security review

The exact figure depends on scope. See the full breakdown on the pricing page.

What makes a mobile app cost more?

• Platforms. One codebase for iOS and Android with Flutter or React Native costs less than two native apps.
• Backend and admin. Most apps need an API, a database and a back office. That is real work even though users never see it.
• Integrations. Payments, maps, push notifications and identity checks each add scope.
• Offline use. Apps that must work without signal need local storage and sync logic.
• Store requirements. App Store and Google Play review, privacy declarations and release set-up take time.

What is not included?

Our fee covers design, engineering, testing and launch. App store accounts, hosting and third-party usage costs are billed by those providers to accounts in your name, and we list the expected amounts in the proposal.

How do you keep the cost down?

Start with one core journey instead of every feature. Build for both platforms from one codebase. Add the second and third features after real users have tried the first. You own the code, so nothing has to be rebuilt later.

Is $6k the final price for a mobile app?

No. It is the starting price of the MVP Sprint. The fixed price in your proposal depends on scope.

Building both from one Flutter or React Native codebase costs much less than two separate native apps. We confirm the platforms in your proposal.

Do I own the code?

Yes. Code, IP and infrastructure are yours from day one.
