What affects the cost and timeline?
Every project is different, but the same few factors account for most of the cost and time. Understanding them helps you plan a realistic budget and decide where to invest.
Features and complexity
Accounts, payments, real-time features and integrations all add effort.
Platforms
Cross-platform (Flutter) usually costs less than two separate native apps.
Design depth
Custom design systems and animation take more time than standard components.
Back end
Admin dashboards, APIs and databases are often half of the work.
Ongoing costs
Hosting, store fees, maintenance and updates after launch.
Our indicative prices
These are typical ranges for projects we deliver, priced for small and growing businesses. They are a guide, not a fixed price list: depending on scope, your project may come in below or above these figures. Every project receives a fixed, itemised quote after a free consultation. Prices exclude VAT where applicable.
| Project size | Typical scope | Indicative budget | Timeline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Focused MVP | One platform or Flutter, core features, simple admin | £8,000–£16,000 | 12–16 weeks |
| Growth app | iOS and Android, payments, integrations, custom design | £16,000–£32,000 | 16–24 weeks |
| Platform | Complex back end, multiple user roles, real-time features | From £32,000 | 6 months+ |
How to keep costs under control
Start with a clear scope, launch a focused first version, and add features based on what users actually do. A short discovery phase is the best way to get an accurate estimate.
