Frequently Asked Questions Common Questions About Mobile App Development
Find answers to the most common questions about mobile app development.
Platform & Technology
The choice depends on your requirements and budget. Native apps (separate iOS and Android codebases) offer the best performance and full access to device features, but cost more. Cross-platform apps (single codebase) reduce development time and cost by 30-40% while providing near-native performance. We recommend cross-platform for most business apps, and native when you need maximum performance.
Mobile app costs vary based on complexity. Simple apps typically range from $30,000-$75,000. Medium-complexity apps range from $75,000-$150,000. Complex enterprise apps can range from $150,000-$400,000+. Cross-platform development typically costs 30-40% less than building separate native apps.
A minimum viable product (MVP) can typically be delivered in 3-5 months. Full-featured apps usually take 5-9 months, while complex enterprise applications may take 9-12+ months. We use agile development with regular releases so you can start testing early.
For cross-platform, we use React Native, .NET MAUI, and Flutter. For native iOS, we use Swift. For native Android, we use Kotlin. Back-end services typically use .NET Core or Node.js with Azure or AWS cloud hosting.
