App development for companies and startups
I build Flutter, iOS and Android mobile applications and web apps for companies and startups, from MVP definition to store release. I follow you through every stage of the project, with a single codebase for iOS, Android and web and direct communication, no middlemen. Pick the closest city to see how I work in your area.
What I build
- iOS, Android and Web mobile apps with Flutter
- Fast, indexable websites and web apps
- Hybrid and cross-platform apps with a single codebase
- Integrations with SQL and NoSQL databases such as Firebase, MongoDB and MySQL
How I work
- We define MVP features and priorities together before writing any code
- I build with Flutter to cover iOS, Android and web from a single codebase
- Store release and fast iterations based on real user feedback
- Maintenance and evolution of the app after launch
Prices and timing
The cost depends on scope: an MVP starts from a contained budget and reaches the stores in 4-8 weeks, while an app with backend, integrations and multiple roles takes longer. I define the priorities with you before writing any code.
- Project work with a fixed price, or hourly for consulting and development
- We define must-have, should-have and nice-to-have together: in many projects 60-70% of the initial features are not needed for launch
- The quote is free and based on estimated hours per feature
- Recurring costs after launch: store accounts, hosting and third-party services
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to develop an app?
It depends on what the app must do: a showcase app with content and push notifications is not the same scope as a marketplace with payments. The quote is free and based on estimated hours per feature.
Native or Flutter?
Flutter covers iOS, Android and web from a single codebase, with a typical saving of 30-40% compared to two native codebases. Native is worth it only for hardware-intensive cases such as AR and advanced sensors.
Who owns the code?
You do. Code and repository stay yours, with full access from release day.
What happens after launch?
Maintenance, OS updates, compliance with store guidelines and new features.
