How much does a custom mobile app cost in India in 2026?
Indicative 2026 ranges: MVP single-platform app (4–6 weeks): ₹3L–₹8L. Cross-platform (Flutter / React Native) MVP: ₹6L–₹15L. : ₹15L–₹40L. Enterprise build (multi-app suite): ₹40L–₹75L+.
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
MVP (single platform): 4–8 weeks. MVP cross-platform with backend: 8–14 weeks. Growth-tier with admin + payments + integrations: 14–22 weeks. 4-app suite (customer + driver + vendor + admin): 16–28 weeks.
Should I build native (iOS + Android) or Flutter / React Native?
Cross-platform (Flutter / React Native) for 80% of MVPs in 2026 — faster, cheaper, single codebase, near-native performance. Native iOS + Android only when: AR / VR / advanced animations / hardware-specific features, OR your team has native expertise to maintain.
Will my app be published on App Store + Google Play?
Yes — we handle Apple Developer Account setup, App Store Connect + Google Play Console listings, app review compliance, ASO (App Store Optimization), screenshots + assets, version submission. Typically 1–2 weeks for first approval.
Do you build the backend + APIs too?
Yes — Node.js / Python / Laravel / Go backend, REST + GraphQL APIs, PostgreSQL / MongoDB / Redis, AWS / GCP hosting, CI/CD, monitoring. The app is one part of a full-stack build.
Will I own the source code + Apple/Google accounts?
Yes — 100% source code, Apple Developer Account, Google Play Console transferred to you on launch. Work-for-hire SOW with full IP transfer.
Do you do post-launch maintenance + AMC?
Yes — monthly AMC (bug fixes, OS update compatibility, security patches, App Store version submissions). Typically 15–25% of build cost annually. New features beyond maintenance are scoped separately.
Can you integrate payment gateways + WhatsApp + analytics?
Yes — Razorpay / Cashfree / Stripe for payments, WATI / Interakt for WhatsApp Business, Firebase / Mixpanel / Amplitude for analytics, Onesignal for push notifications, plus any custom API integrations your business needs.
What's your QA + testing process?
Manual + automated testing: unit tests, integration tests, end-to-end (Detox / Appium), device-matrix testing (iPhone + Android tier-1/2/3), pre-release UAT with your team. Bug-free at launch is the bar.
Do you sign NDAs before discussing my app idea?
Yes — mutual NDA sent before discovery call. Standard practice for product builds. Your idea + IP stays confidential.
Can you take over an existing app from another developer?
Yes — we’ve done many code audits + handovers. Includes: codebase audit, refactor plan, App Store account migration, gradual feature ownership transfer. Typical audit: 1–2 weeks; full handover: 3–6 weeks.
What if I’m not technical — can you handle product + UX too?
Yes — we have product designers + UX practitioners who scope user flows, wireframe, prototype + iterate before any code. Common for non-technical founders. Bring the idea + business goals; we handle product + tech + launch.
