Why is this so much lower than the prices in your cost guides?

Our cost guides show what typical US agencies charge, so you can compare quotes. We price lower because we are a lean team, we use AI-assisted development for the routine work, and we start every project with a focused MVP instead of a full product.

What is the difference between the MVP and the full version?

The MVP is the first version with the core features, ready for real users. The full version is where most projects end up once you add more features after launch. You only pay for what you decide to build next.

Does the price include hosting and maintenance?

The price covers design, development, testing, and launch. Hosting, app store fees, and paid services such as SMS or AI usage are separate. We can also look after updates and fixes after launch on a monthly plan.

How quickly can my app launch?

A focused MVP can launch within a few weeks. After that, the timeline depends on the features you add, and we confirm it on the call along with the fixed price.

What moves the number

The choices that change app development cost most

Different kinds of users

Customers, staff, and admins each need their own screens and permissions.

Chat, live tracking, and offline use

Some of the hardest features to build reliably, because they have to work on bad connections.

Connecting to your tools

Each link to Stripe, QuickBooks, a CRM, or a calendar needs setup and testing.

Medical or financial records

HIPAA and PCI rules add security work across the whole product.

Platforms

One React Native codebase covers iPhone and Android, which costs much less than two separate apps.

Building custom business software rather than an app? The custom software development cost guide covers CRMs, internal tools, and larger platforms.
