- How much does it cost to build an app?
- Most MVPs land between $18k and $60k, depending on platforms and integrations. After a free scoping call we send a fixed quote for the first release, so the number does not move.
- How fast can you start?
- Usually within two weeks. We keep a bench of senior engineers so a new project never waits for hiring.
- Who owns the code?
- You do, from the first commit. Everything lives in your GitHub, your cloud account and your App Store listing.
- Do you work with startups or bigger companies?
- Both. About half our clients are funded startups building a first product; the rest are growing companies that need more engineering hands.
- What tech stack do you use?
- React and Next.js on the web, React Native or native Swift and Kotlin on mobile, Node or Python on the backend, and AWS or GCP in the cloud. We pick what fits your product and team.
- How do we stay in the loop?
- A shared Slack channel, a demo of working software every two weeks and a live board of what is in progress. No surprises at the end.
- Can you take over an existing codebase?
- Yes. We start with a one-week code audit, fix what is risky and then keep shipping features on top.
- What happens after launch?
- We stay on for monitoring, fixes and new features on a monthly retainer, or hand everything over to your team with documentation and training.

- You do, from the first commit. Everything lives in your GitHub, your cloud account and your App Store listing.
- Do you work with startups or bigger companies?
- Both. About half our clients are funded startups building a first product; the rest are growing companies that need more engineering hands.
- What tech stack do you use?
- React and Next.js on the web, React Native or native Swift and Kotlin on mobile, Node or Python on the backend, and AWS or GCP in the cloud. We pick what fits your product and team.
- How do we stay in the loop?
- A shared Slack channel, a demo of working software every two weeks and a live board of what is in progress. No surprises at the end.
- Can you take over an existing codebase?
- Yes. We start with a one-week code audit, fix what is risky and then keep shipping features on top.
- What happens after launch?
- We stay on for monitoring, fixes and new features on a monthly retainer, or hand everything over to your team with documentation and training.

› How much does it cost to build an app?
Most MVPs land between $18k and $60k, depending on platforms and integrations. After a free scoping call we send a fixed quote for the first release, so the number does not move.
