How much does an app cost to build?

It depends heavily on feature scope. We start with a scoping session to define an MVP feature set before quoting, rather than guessing at a number upfront.

Do you handle App Store approval?

Yes, store listing preparation and the submission/approval process are included as part of the launch phase.

Mobile App Development

Mobile app development is the design and engineering of native or cross-platform applications for iOS and Android. ZAVYANS builds mobile apps around retention and engagement from the architecture stage, since most app failures come from users who download once and never return.

What's included

iOS & Android from one codebase

Cross-platform development where it makes sense, keeping cost and maintenance overhead down without sacrificing native feel.

Retention-focused UX

Onboarding, push notification strategy, and engagement loops designed around keeping users active, not just downloading.

App Store & Play Store launch

Store listing optimization and submission handled as part of the engagement, not left as your problem after handoff.

Backend & API included

Full-stack delivery including the backend and APIs your app needs to function, not just the front-end shell.

How we work

Step 1
Product scoping

We define core features and user flows, scoped tightly around what proves your app's value fastest.
Step 2
Design

UI/UX design built around platform-native conventions users already understand.
Step 3
Development

Iterative builds with regular testable versions, not a single reveal at the end.
Step 4
Launch & post-launch support

Store submission, launch support, and an option for ongoing iteration based on real user data.

Most mobile apps fail at retention, not acquisition — users download it, open it once, and forget it exists. We design the engagement loop before we write a line of feature code, because that’s the part that determines whether the app survives past week one.

Frequently asked questions

Cross-platform frameworks now cover most use cases well and reduce cost; we recommend native development specifically when your app needs deep hardware integration or maximum performance. We'll advise based on your requirements.
