Mobile Apps
Create customer-facing apps, internal field tools, mobile-first MVPs, and cross-platform experiences that are practical to launch and maintain.
Typical deliverables
- Mobile UX flows and interface design
- Cross-platform app build where appropriate
- Authentication, APIs, and data sync
- Testing across target devices
- Launch support and handover
Business outcomes
- A smoother mobile experience
- Reduced operational friction
- A product foundation ready for future releases
What it costs
Indicative ranges for the Indian market, not a quote. They exist so you can sanity-check a budget before writing a brief — scoping produces the real number, and it may land outside these bands.
MVP
₹8,00,000 – ₹20,00,000
Typically 12–18 weeks
One platform or cross-platform, scoped to test the assumption you are least sure about.
Full product build
₹20,00,000 – ₹45,00,000
Typically 5–8 months
Breadth, edge cases, offline behaviour, store compliance and the polish a paying audience expects.
Budget roughly 15–20% of the build cost per year for maintenance — dependency and OS updates, security patches, and small improvements.
Where the budget goes
Every engagement runs through the same five phases. Discovery is the smallest line and the one that most reliably pays for itself — industry data puts it at 5–10% of budget while cutting development overspend by 40–60%.
Clarify the business goal, users, constraints and risks, then agree what the first release must contain. The cheapest phase to get right and the most expensive to skip.
Interface design, data model, integration map and the technical decisions that are hard to reverse later.
Engineering in focused cycles with working previews, so scope and direction stay visible instead of arriving as a surprise at the end.
Functional testing, performance, accessibility and security checks. Runs alongside the build rather than only at the end.
Deployment, documentation, store submission where relevant, and the handover that lets the product be operated and improved after release.
Common questions
- Should we build a native app or a cross-platform one?
- Cross-platform with React Native and Expo covers most business apps well and keeps one codebase for iOS and Android, which lowers ongoing cost. Native is the right call when the app depends heavily on platform-specific hardware, performance or OS integration. The decision is made against the actual feature set.
- What is the difference between an MVP and a full mobile build?
- An MVP tests the assumption the business is least sure about, with the smallest reliable product that proves it. A full build assumes the assumption is settled and invests in breadth, edge cases and scale. Scoping the MVP tightly is what keeps the first release useful rather than expensive.
- Do you handle App Store and Google Play submission?
- Yes. Testing, deployment, store submission, documentation and handover are part of delivery, so the app can be operated and updated after release rather than stalling at launch.
- What happens to the app after launch?
- It is documented and handed over so it can keep improving — the product should be supportable by the team that owns it, with a clear path for the next release.
- How much does a mobile app cost in India?
- A scoped MVP is typically ₹8,00,000–₹20,00,000 over 12–18 weeks; a full product build ₹20,00,000–₹45,00,000 over five to eight months. Cross-platform keeps one codebase for iOS and Android, which is the single biggest lever on both the build cost and what it costs to maintain.
