A mobile app can be useful when people return regularly, need offline access or depend on device features. A responsive website or web application may be a better starting point for a service people use occasionally.
We help you compare these options against your users, budget, maintenance needs and launch plan. Native and cross-platform approaches both involve tradeoffs; the right choice depends on what the app must do.
One of the most important decisions in any mobile project is choosing the right development approach. We build both native and cross-platform apps and will always recommend the option that best serves your goals, your timeline, and your budget.
Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android)
Built specifically for one platform using Apple or Google's own languages and tools. Native apps deliver the best possible performance, the deepest device integration, and the most polished user experience on each platform.
Best for: apps requiring maximum performance, complex animations, or deep hardware access such as camera, GPS, biometrics, or push notifications.
Flutter and React Native
One codebase that runs on both iOS and Android. Cross-platform development reduces build time and cost while still delivering a high-quality, near-native experience on both platforms.
Best for: businesses that need to launch on both platforms quickly, have a limited budget, or whose app requirements do not need deep platform-specific features.
We manage every stage of your mobile app project from initial concept through to a live app in the hands of your users.
We design every screen, interaction, and user flow before development begins. Your app is prototyped and tested so the experience is intuitive, on-brand, and conversion-focused from day one.
Apps need ongoing care after launch. We provide maintenance, bug fixes, OS compatibility updates, and feature development as your user base grows and your product evolves.
There are a lot of options when it comes to mobile development. Here is why South African businesses choose us:
App development costs vary significantly based on complexity, platform choice, and feature requirements. A straightforward MVP might cost considerably less than a full-featured consumer platform. We scope every project individually and give you a detailed quote before any work begins. Get in touch to discuss your project and budget.
A basic app with core features typically takes 3 to 5 months from discovery to App Store submission. More complex apps with custom backends, integrations, or advanced features take longer. We will give you a realistic timeline during the scoping phase.
Yes. We build for both platforms, either natively or cross-platform using Flutter or React Native depending on your requirements. We will recommend the right approach for your specific project.
Can you add features to an existing app?
Yes. We work on existing mobile apps whether we built the original or not. We will review the current codebase first to understand what we are working with and give you an honest assessment of what is involved in extending or improving it.
South Africa has variable connectivity and we design with this in mind. Where appropriate, we build offline functionality, optimise data usage, and ensure apps degrade gracefully under poor network conditions rather than simply failing.
Yes. We manage the full submission process for both stores including writing the store listing, preparing screenshots and preview assets, ensuring compliance with store guidelines, and handling the review process. We aim to make launch day as smooth as possible.
Yes. Most apps require a server-side backend to manage user accounts, store data, and handle integrations. We design and build backends that are secure, scalable, and hosted on reliable infrastructure. Your app and its backend are built and managed by the same team.
We are currently building a mobile app for Eazy-Biz, our business finance product. This is work in progress, not a launched App Store or Google Play release.
