App Development Services

Business apps typically cost $30K to $150K, and enterprise apps with heavy integrations or compliance work run higher. Cost tracks the number of platforms, the depth of the feature set, and how much backend you need. We give you a detailed estimate after a free discovery call, no obligation.

A cross-platform MVP typically takes 8 to 12 weeks. A full native app on both platforms usually runs 4 to 8 months. We work in two-week sprints, so you install a working build every two weeks instead of waiting on a launch date.

Native means separate Swift and Kotlin codebases, which gives you the best performance and same-day access to new OS features. Cross-platform means one React Native or Flutter codebase for both stores, which usually cuts build time and cost. Most business apps do fine cross-platform. Go native for heavy graphics, demanding animation, or constant hardware access.

Build for the platform your paying users are on. US consumer and B2B products usually start with iOS. Android-heavy field workforces and most markets outside the US start with Android. If you need both at launch, a cross-platform build is normally cheaper than two native ones.

App development companies typically offer product strategy, UI/UX design, native iOS and Android development, cross-platform builds in React Native and Flutter, backend and API development, QA on real devices, App Store and Google Play submission, and ongoing maintenance. Softaims covers all of it in one team.

We sign an NDA before we discuss anything sensitive. Your repositories, design files, and store accounts stay in your ownership from day one, and access is limited to the engineers assigned to your team.

You do, 100%. All code, designs, and IP are yours, assigned in the contract. We publish under your Apple and Google developer accounts, so you keep full control of the listing if the engagement ever ends.

Yes. We prepare store assets and metadata, submit under your developer accounts, and fix anything the review process flags. We stay on through the first releases so a rejection does not stall your launch.

A common industry benchmark is 15% to 20% of the original build cost per year. That covers two annual OS releases, new device sizes, security patches, third-party SDK upgrades, and small feature work. We run this under clear SLAs rather than ad hoc requests.

Yes. We audit the codebase, store listings, and analytics first, then give you a written view of what to keep, what to refactor, and what to rebuild before we change a line.
