Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We have answers. Here are some of the most common inquiries about our iOS development services.
The cost varies significantly based on complexity, features, and design. A simple app might start around $25,000, while a complex, feature-rich enterprise application can exceed $250,000. We provide a detailed, transparent quote after our initial discovery session where we understand your specific requirements.
Timelines depend on the app's complexity. A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) can often be developed in 3-4 months. A full-featured application typically takes 6-9 months or more. Our agile process ensures we deliver value in incremental sprints, allowing for faster initial launches.
Yes, absolutely. While this page focuses on our iOS expertise, we have equally strong teams dedicated to native Android development using Kotlin, as well as cross-platform development with frameworks like Flutter and React Native. We can help you decide the best strategy for your multi-platform needs.
You do. Upon final payment, we transfer 100% of the intellectual property and source code to you. Our agreements are clear and transparent, ensuring you have full ownership of your application.
We offer flexible and comprehensive maintenance and support packages. These can include 24/7 monitoring, regular iOS compatibility updates, security patches, performance optimization, and ongoing feature development.
