iPhone and Android apps, from idea to the App Store

We design, build and launch mobile apps, including AI features, payments and the backend that runs them.

BikeLife, a rideout app for iPhone. Riders find rideouts near them, share clips in a video feed, message each other, ride together with spoken turn-by-turn directions and collect a stamp in their BikeLife Passport for every ride they show up to.
A food inventory app with AI fridge scanning. Users photograph their fridge and AI identifies each item, then the app tracks stock, calories and macros and suggests meals.

Mobile apps questions.

How much does it cost to build an app?

Apps for one platform start at $5,000, and apps for both iPhone and Android start at $6,450. Features like payments, chat, maps and AI, and whether you need designs and a backend, move the price. The quote tool gives you a price based on your answers.

How long does it take to build a mobile app?

Most first versions take ten to eighteen weeks including design, development and store review. A focused first version with fewer features can launch sooner.

Should I build for iPhone, Android or both?

In the US, iPhone often comes first. If you need to reach everyone, build both from one codebase, which costs less than two separate apps. We look at your audience and recommend one.

Will you publish the app to the App Store and Google Play?

Yes. We prepare the listings, submit the app for review and handle any changes the stores ask for. The developer accounts are in your name.

Can my app use AI?

Yes. Our food inventory app uses AI to identify items from a photo of a fridge. Other common uses are chat assistants, recommendations, summaries and voice input.

What happens after launch?

We monitor crashes and reviews, update the app for new iOS and Android releases, and build new features on a care plan from $300 a month.
