How long does it take?
4 to 8 weeks for a simple app or MVP, 6 to 10 weeks for an iOS and Android app, and 3 to 6 months for a complex product.
Do I own the code and IP?
Yes — you own all source code and intellectual property.
Native or cross-platform?
Cross-platform for most business/consumer apps needing both stores; native for performance-critical or platform-specific products.
What about maintenance?
Budget 15–20% of build cost per year for OS updates, hosting and improvements.
Can you take over an existing app?
Yes — we regularly audit and take over apps from other teams, starting with a code and architecture review.
