What changes the price

Features and screens

More user types, screens and workflows mean more design, development and testing.

Integrations

Payment gateways, WhatsApp Business API, ERP, CRM or accounting connections.

Backend and admin

A Firebase backend is faster to launch; a custom Java Spring Boot backend with admin panels takes longer.

Languages

Arabic with right-to-left layouts, or more languages, adds design and testing work.

AI features

Chatbots, document reading or smart search add setup work and AI provider usage costs.

Support after launch

Costs you pay directly

  • Apple Developer Program: USD 99 per year, required to publish on the App Store.

A well-defined MVP follows our 12-day plan. Business apps and ERPs take around two months, and a focused first automation typically takes a few weeks.
