Question 2

What payment options do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer flexible payment options to fit your situation: Fixed Price (upfront payment for full development), Equity Partnership (we build in exchange for equity stake in your company), and Hybrid Model (combination of payment + equity). Each model has its benefits depending on your funding situation and long-term goals. We're happy to discuss which option makes the most sense for your project during our initial consultation.

Question 3

Can I pay in installments?

Accepted Answer

Yes! For fixed-price projects, we typically structure payments in milestone-based installments. Common payment schedules include: 30% upfront, 40% at mid-point, and 30% upon completion. For larger projects ($50k+), we can create custom payment plans with 4-6 milestones. This approach protects both parties and ensures steady progress throughout the development cycle.

Question 4

What's included in your pricing?

Accepted Answer

Our pricing includes: full app development (frontend and backend), UI/UX design, project management, quality assurance testing, App Store and Play Store submissions, 30 days of post-launch bug fixes, and deployment setup. We also provide regular progress updates, source code ownership, and comprehensive documentation. Additional services like ongoing maintenance, marketing materials, or advanced analytics can be added to any package.

Question 5

Do you offer discounts for startups?

Accepted Answer

While we don't offer standard discounts, we're open to equity partnerships and hybrid payment models that are specifically designed for startups with limited capital. If you have a compelling vision and are willing to share equity in your company, we can work together to build your app without requiring full upfront payment. This model aligns our success with yours and allows us to invest in innovative ideas.

Question 6

What happens if the project goes over budget?

Accepted Answer

We prevent budget overruns through detailed upfront scoping and clear change request processes. Our fixed-price quotes are locked in based on the agreed scope. If you request additional features or changes beyond the original scope, we'll provide a separate quote before proceeding. We never surprise clients with unexpected costs. For time-and-materials projects, we provide weekly budget updates and require approval before exceeding the agreed budget.

Question 7

How long does it take to build an app?

Accepted Answer

Development timelines vary based on complexity. Simple apps (basic features, single platform) typically take 1-3 months. Complex apps (custom features, both platforms, backend) take 3-6 months. Enterprise apps (advanced features, integrations, high scalability) take 6-12 months. During our initial consultation, we'll provide a detailed timeline with specific milestones based on your requirements. We prioritize quality over speed and ensure thorough testing before launch.

Question 8

What's your development process?

Accepted Answer

We follow a proven 5-step process: Discovery (2-4 weeks: requirements gathering, wireframes, technical planning), Design (2-3 weeks: UI/UX design, mockups, client approval), Development (8-16 weeks: coding, weekly demos, iterative feedback), Testing (2-3 weeks: QA, bug fixes, performance optimization), and Launch (1-2 weeks: App Store submission, deployment, handoff). Throughout each phase, you'll receive regular updates and have opportunities to provide feedback.

Question 9

Will I own the source code?

Accepted Answer

Yes! For fixed-price and hybrid payment projects, you own 100% of the source code, designs, and all intellectual property upon final payment. We transfer the complete codebase, documentation, and any third-party credentials to you. For equity partnership projects, ownership terms are negotiated as part of our partnership agreement. We never hold your code hostage or charge ongoing licensing fees.

Question 10

Do you sign NDAs?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We understand the importance of protecting your intellectual property and business ideas. We're happy to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before discussing your project details. You can provide your own NDA template, or we can use our standard mutual NDA. Protecting your confidential information is a standard part of our business practice.

Question 11

How involved will I be during development?

Accepted Answer

Your involvement level is flexible based on your preference. At minimum, we require: weekly 30-minute check-ins, approval of designs and major features, and testing of milestone deliveries. Many clients prefer more hands-on involvement with daily Slack communication and access to our project management tools. We adapt to your schedule and communication style while ensuring you stay informed throughout the process.

Question 12

What happens after the app is launched?

Accepted Answer

After launch, we provide 30 days of free bug fixes to ensure stability. We'll monitor crash reports and performance metrics during this period. Post-launch, you have several options: handle maintenance in-house (we provide documentation), hire us for ongoing support ($500-2000/month depending on complexity), or schedule feature updates on a project basis. We're always available to help your app grow and evolve with your business.

Question 13

What technologies do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use modern, proven technologies: For iOS: Swift and SwiftUI (native). For Android: Kotlin and Jetpack Compose (native). For cross-platform: React Native or Flutter. Backend: Node.js, Python (Django/Flask), or Go. Databases: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Firebase. Cloud: AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure. We choose the tech stack based on your specific requirements, budget, and long-term maintenance plans. All our technology choices prioritize performance, security, and scalability.

Question 14

Do you develop for iOS, Android, or both?

Accepted Answer

We develop for both iOS and Android. You can choose to launch on one platform first (typically iOS for U.S. markets) or both simultaneously. Native development (separate codebases) provides the best performance and user experience. Cross-platform development (single codebase with React Native or Flutter) is more cost-effective for simple apps. We'll recommend the best approach based on your budget, timeline, and feature requirements.

Question 15

Can you integrate with existing systems or APIs?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We regularly integrate with: payment processors (Stripe, PayPal, Square), authentication services (OAuth, Auth0), social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), analytics tools (Google Analytics, Mixpanel), CRM systems (Salesforce, HubSpot), shipping APIs (UPS, FedEx), mapping services (Google Maps, Mapbox), and custom internal APIs. If you have an existing backend or third-party service, we can integrate it into your mobile app.

Question 16

Do you provide backend development?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide complete backend development including: RESTful API development, database design and setup, user authentication and authorization, file storage and CDN setup, push notification infrastructure, admin dashboards, and server deployment and configuration. We can build a custom backend or use Backend-as-a-Service platforms (Firebase, Supabase) for faster development and lower costs.

Question 17

Is the app scalable?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We architect all apps with scalability in mind from day one. This includes: cloud-based infrastructure (AWS, Google Cloud), auto-scaling server configurations, efficient database design with indexing, CDN for global content delivery, caching strategies for performance, and load balancing for high traffic. We've built apps that handle 100,000+ concurrent users. Whether you're starting small or expecting rapid growth, we ensure your app can scale seamlessly.

Question 18

What about app security?

Accepted Answer

Security is a top priority in every app we build. Our security measures include: encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS), secure authentication (OAuth 2.0, JWT), encrypted data storage, API security with rate limiting, input validation and sanitization, protection against common vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10), regular security audits, and compliance with data protection regulations (GDPR, CCPA when applicable). We follow industry best practices and can implement additional security measures based on your requirements.

Question 19

Do you provide post-launch support?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Every project includes 30 days of free post-launch support for bug fixes and stability issues. After that, we offer ongoing maintenance plans starting at $500/month. These plans include: bug fixes, OS compatibility updates (new iOS/Android versions), security patches, performance monitoring, crash report analysis, and minor feature tweaks. We're committed to your app's long-term success and are always available to help.

Question 20

What if my app needs updates or new features?

Accepted Answer

We love helping clients evolve their apps! For new features, we provide a detailed quote based on complexity and timeline. Updates are billed hourly ($100-150/hour) or as fixed-price projects. For clients on maintenance plans, minor updates and tweaks are included. We prioritize existing clients and typically have faster turnaround times than new projects. Your app will never become outdated with us.

Question 21

Do you handle App Store and Play Store submissions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we handle the complete submission process for both stores. This includes: creating developer accounts (if needed), preparing app metadata, descriptions, and keywords, creating screenshots and preview videos, compliance with store guidelines, submission and review management, and handling any rejection issues. We guide you through every step and ensure your app meets all requirements for approval.

Question 22

What about bug fixes after launch?

Accepted Answer

The first 30 days post-launch include unlimited bug fixes at no extra cost. We define bugs as: crashes, features not working as specified, performance issues, and security vulnerabilities. After 30 days, bug fixes are covered under maintenance plans or billed hourly. Our thorough testing process minimizes post-launch bugs, but we're always ready to address any issues that arise quickly and professionally.

Question 23

Can you add features to the app later?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Most of our clients start with an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and add features over time based on user feedback. Adding features later is often a smart strategy to manage initial costs and validate your idea. We maintain detailed documentation and clean code to make future enhancements straightforward. We prioritize existing clients and can typically start feature additions within 1-2 weeks.

Question 24

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Getting started is easy! Fill out our application form with details about your app idea, target audience, and budget. We'll schedule a free 30-minute consultation call within 24 hours to discuss your project. During the call, we'll ask questions about your vision, provide initial recommendations, and explain our process. If we're a good fit, we'll send a detailed proposal and timeline within 2-3 business days. No commitments until you're ready!

Question 25

What information do you need from me?

Accepted Answer

To provide an accurate quote, we need: a description of your app idea and target audience, list of key features and functionality, preferred platform (iOS, Android, or both), desired timeline and launch date, budget or payment preference, any existing designs or brand guidelines, and examples of apps you like (for reference). Don't worry if you don't have all the details figured out - we'll help you refine your vision during our consultation.

Question 26

Do you help with app ideas and strategy?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Many clients come to us with a general concept but need help refining it. We provide strategic consulting including: market research and competitive analysis, feature prioritization (MVP vs. future phases), monetization strategy recommendations, user experience consultation, and technical feasibility assessment. Our goal is to help you build an app that solves real problems and has the best chance of success in the market.

Question 27

Can you help with design and branding?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We have in-house designers who create beautiful, intuitive interfaces. Our design services include: brand identity (logo, colors, typography), wireframing and prototyping, UI design (all screens and states), icon and graphics creation, and design system documentation. We can match your existing brand or create a complete visual identity from scratch. All designs are created specifically for mobile and optimized for both iOS and Android guidelines.

Question 28

What if I already have designs?

Accepted Answer

That's great! We can work with your existing designs. We'll review them to ensure they're technically feasible and follow mobile best practices. Sometimes minor adjustments are needed for optimal user experience or platform guidelines. We can also help fill in any missing screens or states. Having designs ready can potentially reduce your project timeline and costs. Just share them during the application process or initial consultation.
