FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is mobile app development?
Mobile app development is the process of designing, building, testing and publishing apps for smartphones and tablets. It includes the screens users see, the backend server and database, integrations such as payments, and publishing on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
How much does mobile app development cost in India?
Mobile app development cost in India depends on the number of screens, platforms, user roles, integrations and the admin panel. A simple app or MVP, a typical business app and an advanced app are each priced differently. You get a fixed written quote after a free consultation.
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
A simple app or MVP usually takes 4–6 weeks, a typical business app 8–12 weeks, and complex apps 12 weeks or more. Building version 1 with core features first gets your app to users sooner.
Should I build a native or cross-platform app?
Cross-platform frameworks such as Flutter and React Native suit most business apps because one codebase runs on Android and iOS, reducing cost and time. Native development is better for apps that need maximum performance or deep device features.
Do I own the source code of my app?
Yes. Once the project is paid, the source code, designs and app store listings belong to you. We publish the app under your own Google Play and Apple developer accounts.
Do you publish the app on the Play Store and App Store?
Yes. We prepare store listings, screenshots and privacy details, submit the app for review and handle any changes the stores request.
Do you provide app maintenance after launch?
Yes. Our maintenance plans cover updates for new Android and iOS versions, bug fixes, performance monitoring, security updates and small feature changes.
