iOS, Android and cross-platform apps, from MVP to app store
We design and build mobile apps for startups and growing businesses. Projects typically cost $6,000 to $20,000+ and take 4 to 16 weeks, and larger products are scoped individually. You own the source code and IP, and every launch includes 30 days of post-launch support. Your quote is your price unless the scope changes. See pricing.
Mobile app development, start to finish
One team, design to launch
We handle product discovery, UX/UI design, development, testing and App Store and Google Play submission. Most apps also need a back end for user accounts, payments, notifications and an admin dashboard for your team, and we build that too.
When it fits your budget and timeline, we recommend a cross-platform framework such as Flutter or React Native, so one codebase serves both iOS and Android. When an app depends on device hardware or needs maximum performance, we build natively in Swift and Kotlin.
How we work with you
Before any code is written, we agree on the features for the first release, the screens and the price. During development you install working builds on your own phone, so feedback happens while changes are still cheap.
We have an office in New York and a development team in Noida, India, and we schedule calls at times that suit you.
Source code and IP ownership transfer to you at the end of the project.
Every app includes 30 days of post-launch support for fixes. After that, maintenance, OS updates and new features are quoted separately.
Whether it is a consumer app, a booking or ordering app for your customers, or an internal app for your team, we will tell you on the first call what it takes to build and roughly what it will cost.
Our capabilities
Most projects start with a focused first release that has the features your users need most. After launch, we improve the app based on how people actually use it.

Got questions?
Well, we've got answers
Most Cliffex mobile app projects cost $6,000 to $20,000+. A focused MVP on one cross-platform codebase sits at the lower end. Apps with many screens, payments, real-time features or a large admin dashboard cost more, and large products are scoped individually. Our pricing page lists what changes the price.
Typically 4 to 16 weeks from kickoff to store submission, plus a few days for App Store and Google Play review. A focused MVP sits at the shorter end.
For most business apps we recommend cross-platform (Flutter or React Native), because one codebase for iOS and Android keeps cost and maintenance down. Native Swift and Kotlin make sense for apps that rely heavily on device hardware, complex animation or maximum performance.
Yes. We prepare the store listings, handle submission and respond to review feedback. We recommend publishing under your own developer accounts so you stay in control of the app.
You do. Source code and IP ownership transfer to you at the end of the project.
Every app includes 30 days of post-launch support for fixes. After that, maintenance, OS updates and new features are quoted separately.
