Service · Mobile apps

iOS and Android apps from a single, cost-efficient codebase.

Cross-platform apps that look and feel native, ship faster, and cost less to build and maintain — with the payments and integrations your market needs.

The problem

Two native apps cost twice as much to build and maintain.

Most businesses don't need separate iOS and Android teams. A single modern codebase reaches both platforms, ships faster, and costs roughly 30–50% less to build and keep updated — without the clunky feel of older cross-platform tools.

What's included

Everything this service covers

  • Cross-platform development

    Flutter or React Native — one codebase, both iOS and Android, ~30–50% cheaper and faster than two native apps. Flutter for polished, animation-heavy apps; React Native for JS-stack business tools.

  • Native iOS & Android

    Swift/SwiftUI and Kotlin/Jetpack Compose when there's a real technical reason to go fully native.

  • Mobile UI/UX design

    Prototypes, design systems and platform-correct interactions that feel right on each OS.

  • Backends for mobile

    Supabase (Postgres + auth + realtime + storage), Firebase, or custom APIs built for mobile.

  • Integrations

    Payments (Stripe, M-Pesa Daraja, Flutterwave, Paystack), push notifications, maps/geolocation, biometric auth, analytics and in-app purchases.

  • App categories

    On-demand/marketplace, e-commerce, fintech/wallets, booking & services, social, health & fitness, and productivity/business tools.

  • MVP development for startups

    Ship the core action fast, scope ruthlessly, and get real user feedback sooner.

  • Launch + ASO + maintenance

    App Store and Play Store launch, app-store optimization, plus ongoing maintenance and OS-version updates.

  • PWA option

    A progressive web app when an app-store presence isn't essential — lower cost, instant updates.

FAQ

Common questions

Flutter or React Native — which should I choose?

Flutter for polished, animation-rich consumer apps; React Native if you're already in the JavaScript ecosystem or building business tools. I'll recommend honestly based on your app, team and budget. See the full comparison.

How much does a mobile app cost?

An MVP typically starts from around $1,500–$3,000; more complex apps scale from there. I scope tightly so you pay for what moves the needle. See pricing and this guide.

Can you integrate M-Pesa?

Yes — M-Pesa Daraja (STK push, C2B/B2C) plus Stripe, Flutterwave and Paystack for international payments.

Do you handle App Store and Play Store submission?

Yes, including store setup, compliance, app-store optimization (ASO) and the submission process end to end.

Will you maintain the app after launch?

Yes — OS updates, new features and fixes via a managed retainer, so your app keeps working as iOS and Android evolve.
