Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to build a mobile app?

Budget £40,000–£60,000 for a simple mobile app. A more complex product can exceed £100,000. These are planning ranges, not fixed packages or a minimum project fee. Your quote depends on the user journeys, iOS and Android coverage, backend, integrations, testing and launch. We price prototypes, design-only work and improvements to an existing app separately. See our UK app development cost guide for the full breakdown.

What is included in a mobile app development quote?

We set out the agreed scope for design, development, integrations, testing, launch and handover, alongside exclusions and third-party costs. Post-launch support and new features are priced separately.

How long does it take to develop a mobile app?

A focused MVP can be ready for app store submission from 6-8 weeks after the scope is agreed. We use AI to speed up suitable development tasks, while integrations and testing still shape the schedule. We confirm your project timeline during discovery; Apple and Google review the app after submission.

Do you build apps for iOS and Android?

Yes. We can build for either platform or both. We assess native and cross-platform options against your users, device requirements, budget and future maintenance.

Can you build a mobile app MVP?

Yes. We define the core user journey and the data, admin tasks and testing needed for a usable first release. We can prototype the idea first; a clickable prototype is different from a live MVP.

Can you redesign an existing mobile app?

Yes. We review the user experience and technical constraints, then scope a focused redesign, new features or a rebuild where needed. Our Thursday project shows UX/UI redesign work on an existing app.

Can we hire you for mobile app design only?

Yes. We can deliver research, user flows, prototypes, UI and a handover for your developers without taking on the build. Explore our UX/UI design services.

Do you help launch apps on the App Store and Google Play?

Yes, when launch support is included in the scope. We help test, prepare and submit the app; Apple and Google control review and approval.

Do you support apps after launch?

Yes. We can agree coverage for bug fixes, compatibility updates and new features. The scope, response expectations and third-party costs are set out separately.
