One app. Both stores.

It depends on scope. As a typical guide, a focused first version (for example bookings or a loyalty card) often takes around 8–12 weeks from approved design to store submission, and larger apps with accounts, payments and integrations often take 3–6 months. Apple and Google reviews usually take a few days. We give you a realistic timeline with your fixed-price quote.

You do. Once the project is paid for, the source code and design files are yours, and the app is published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts. If you ever move to another developer, we hand everything over.

At the time of writing, Apple’s Developer Program costs US$99 a year (billed in local currency) and Google Play charges a one-off US$25 registration fee. If you sell digital content inside the app, the stores take a commission — commonly 15% for smaller businesses on their reduced-rate programmes and 30% otherwise. Physical goods and real-world services, such as table bookings, haircuts or food orders, can usually take normal card payments instead. We check the current terms for your app before you commit.

Yes. Apple and Google release major operating-system updates every year, and devices, libraries and store rules change. Our optional App care plan covers updates, fixes, monitoring and back-end hosting so your app keeps working — and you can cancel it at any time.
