Mobile App Development for UK Businesses

Working directly with me: roughly £4,000–£9,500 for a focused MVP over 6–10 weeks, £9,500–£19,500 for a standard business app, and £19,500–£47,000 for a feature-heavy product. These convert from the USD bands I publish everywhere on this site, so adjust slightly for the day's exchange rate. UK agencies quote multiples of this for the same scope.

Because the quote covers a London office, account managers, a sales team and the bench. None of those write your app. Hiring the senior developer directly removes every layer between the decision and the code — which is faster as well as cheaper.

I work from Pakistan on UTC+5, four hours ahead of UK summer time. My afternoon is your morning, so calls and decisions happen inside your working day rather than at either end of it. In practice it feels closer to working with someone in continental Europe than offshore.

Yes — one React Native codebase produces both, sharing 85–90% of the code. That matters in the UK where iOS holds a large share but Android is far from negligible; building only one platform leaves real users out, and building two natively roughly doubles the bill.

You do. The repository is yours and the apps publish under your own Apple and Google developer accounts — Apple's £/$99 annual fee and Google's one-time $25 are billed by them directly to you. Changing developer later costs you nothing but a handover.

Scope and milestones agreed in writing before any payment, then bank transfer in GBP or USD. Nothing is held hostage: the code is yours from day one, so if the arrangement stops working you keep everything built so far.

Yes, if it is React Native or Flutter. I read the codebase first and tell you honestly whether continuing beats rebuilding — and sometimes it does not. Knowing that in week one is worth more than any discount.
