Apps that people keep on their phone

What makes an app stick

Most apps get deleted within a week. The ones that stay do one job very well: book, order, track, pay or learn, faster than a website can.

How we work

We help you find that job, cut the feature list to what proves it, and build it properly. You work directly with the designers and developers, not an account manager.

What an app really is

The app on the phone is the visible part. Behind it sit the pieces that make it work and let you run it.

Cross-platform vs two native apps

For most businesses one codebase is the smarter choice. We tell you if yours is the exception.

Questions

Straight answers. Ask anything else in your brief and we reply within 24 hours.

Yes. We use one cross-platform codebase, so both apps launch together for one price.

Yes. We sign an NDA before you share details of your idea, if you would like one.

Expect a short call or review each week. You approve the designs before development and test each build as it is ready.

Often, yes. We start with a paid code review to see what state the app is in, then quote fixed-price work from there.

No. We work remotely with companies across India and abroad, with video calls for the kickoff and every key review.

A web app MVP starts at ₹4L and a mobile app MVP for Android and iOS starts at ₹5L. Marketplaces with two apps are quoted after a short paid scoping sprint. Apple charges $99 a year and Google $25 once for store accounts.

The same as any of our mobile MVPs: from ₹5L for Android and iOS together. Flutter and React Native both give one codebase for both stores, which is why the price does not double.

Yes. A web app MVP starts at ₹4L and works on any phone or laptop without store approval. Many founders launch on the web first and add store apps once the idea is proven.

Most mobile MVPs take 8 to 12 weeks from the fixed quote to the App Store and Play Store. You get a test build on your phone every two weeks along the way.
