App & product development
Native iOS and Android app development in Swift and Kotlin
Native apps when the product depends on the camera, NFC, 3D or platform polish — including an AI interior redesign app built natively twice, on purpose.
- Starting from
- $12,000
- Both platforms. One platform from $7,000.
- Typical timeline
- 8–14 weeks to a first release
Some apps are better built natively. Our AI interior redesign app was built separately in Swift and Kotlin because the camera and image pipeline mattered more than code sharing. Our NFC business card app reads and writes tags directly. A Roblox clothing designer renders a live 3D preview of a flat template.
Native development costs more than one shared codebase, so we only recommend it when the product needs it — and say so when it does not.
What you get
- Native iOS app in Swift
- Native Android app in Kotlin
- Camera, NFC and sensor integration
- 3D and graphics-heavy interfaces
- Backend, admin console and payments

How we work
- 1
Free scoping call
We talk through what you are building, who it is for and what has to be true on day one. You leave with a recommended approach and a budget range.
- 2
Written plan and fixed quote
Screens, features and integrations written down in plain language, with a fixed price and timeline for the first release — so there are no surprises.
- 3
Prototype the hard part first
The risky feature — the camera pipeline, the NFC read, the 3D view — is proven before anything else is built.
- 4
Build both platforms
iOS and Android developed in parallel against the same backend.
- 5
Launch and handover
Store submission, production setup and documentation.

Services Marketplace
Most services apps pick a lane: trades, or freelancers. This one runs both, off a single field in the listing form — do you do this work in person, or remotely?

Frequently asked questions
When is native worth the extra cost?
When the app's core value depends on the device — camera processing, NFC, Bluetooth, AR or 3D, or deep platform integration — or when you need the absolute best performance and feel on each platform.
Can you build just one platform first?
Yes. Many products launch on one platform to validate demand, then add the second. We structure the backend so the second app is straightforward.
Do I own the code?
Yes. You own the source code, designs and accounts from day one — repositories, app store listings and cloud projects are set up in your name, not ours.
What happens after launch?
We fix anything that was ours to get right at no charge, then offer ongoing support and development on a monthly basis if you want it. Nothing locks you in: the code is documented and yours to take elsewhere.
