What's included in a mobile app MVP?

A production iOS + Android app built on React Native, with auth, your core feature, push notifications, a real backend (Postgres), and optional AI features. We ship to a TestFlight build for iOS and an internal-testing track on Google Play for Android. App Store / Play Store submission and review is included on request.

How long does a mobile app MVP take?

14 days for our standard mobile MVP scope (single platform or simple cross-platform). App-store submission and review adds 3–10 days on Apple, 1–3 days on Google. We can submit on day 14 and most clients are live on both stores within 3 weeks of the scoping call.

Do you build native iOS / Android or cross-platform?

We default to React Native — cross-platform, one codebase, near-native performance, fastest 14-day delivery. We can build native (Swift / Kotlin) on Custom engagements when there's a real reason (heavy device-hardware integration, ARKit, advanced media). Most founder MVPs don't have that constraint.

Will my mobile app MVP get into the App Store and Google Play?

Yes, with caveats. We submit on your behalf and handle the technical review (provisioning, certificates, screenshots, metadata). Apple's review is opinionated and occasionally rejects MVPs for vague reasons — we know the common rejections and design around them. Google is fast and rarely an issue. Submission is included; we don't charge to resubmit if Apple bounces it.

Can you add AI features to a mobile app MVP?

Yes. AI chat, image analysis, voice-to-text, on-device AI (where the model is small enough), and AI-powered recommendations all fit in our standard mobile MVP scope. We typically run the LLM on a backend you control (OpenAI / Anthropic) and the mobile app calls into it.

Do you support push notifications?

Yes — push notifications are part of the standard scope. We use OneSignal or Firebase Cloud Messaging by default. Custom segmentation and scheduled notifications are also in scope.

What happens after launch?

You own the codebase and the app-store listings. You can take the build and continue with another team, or stay on a retainer with us for ongoing iterations. App-store certificate renewal, expo SDK upgrades, and OS-version compatibility maintenance are all retainer-scope work.

Q: How much does a mobile app MVP cost?

$4,000 to $6,000 for a standard mobile MVP. Slightly higher than our web app MVP range because of the dual-platform build, native module integration, and store submission overhead. Fixed-price on the scoping call.

Full stack included

AI-native mobile
