(FAQ) Straight answers

Cost, timelines and ownership, answered.

We build Android and iOS apps, websites, backend systems, games and AI features for teams in India and abroad. These are the questions that come up before every project — including the uncomfortable ones about money and deadlines.

How does a project usually start?

With a short call and a written brief. We ask about the problem, the users and the deadline, then come back with a recommended scope, a timeline and a fixed price for the first phase — usually within two working days.

How much does it cost to build an app in India?

A focused mobile build starts around ₹49,000 on our India rate card; a production app with accounts, payments and an admin panel usually lands between ₹1,20,000 and ₹1,95,000. International clients see the same scope on a USD card starting at $4,900. The estimator gives you a range in rupees, dollars, pounds or euros in under a minute.

How long does it take to design and build an app?

A marketing site or a focused MVP takes three to six weeks. A production mobile app with authentication, payments and an admin panel usually takes eight to fourteen weeks. We fix the date for the first phase before work starts, and we would rather move a date early than surprise you late.

Do you work with clients outside India?

Yes — most of our work is for teams in the US, UK, UAE and Australia. We keep at least four hours of overlap with European mornings and take early calls for US clients. International projects are quoted and invoiced in USD.

Should we build with React Native or fully native?

React Native is the right default for most products: one team, one codebase, near-native feel, faster to ship. Go fully native when the app leans hard on platform APIs — heavy camera or Bluetooth work, complex background processing, or console-grade performance.

Can you work with our existing codebase?

Yes. We start with an audit: architecture, dependencies, test coverage and deployment. If the honest answer is a rewrite, we will say so and explain the trade-off before taking the work.

Do you sign an NDA?

Yes, before the first call if you prefer. Nothing about your project goes into our portfolio, case studies or social posts until you approve the wording.

Who owns the code and design files?

You do, on final payment. The repository, design files and infrastructure accounts are transferred or owned by you from day one.

How soon can we start?

Usually within two to three weeks. If you have a hard deadline, tell us early — we would rather be honest about capacity than take work we cannot do properly.

What happens after launch?

You get the repository, the infrastructure accounts and documentation written for whoever comes next. If you want us to stay on, we scope a monthly block for fixes, monitoring and small improvements — no lock-in, and you can stop with notice.
