Mobile App Development

Mobile app development without the double budget

I build React Native apps on one codebase that ships to both stores, connected to the WordPress or web backend you already run. The risky parts, API layer, auth flow, and deploy pipeline, get planned first instead of discovered late.

850+ clients served, so your backend gets audited before your app gets promised

What it costs

One build, both stores, pipeline included.

The price covers a working app and the machinery that keeps it shipping after launch. An app without a release pipeline is a launch, not a product.

Mobile app build
From ₹2,50,000 From $2,999per project
  • React Native app with one shared iOS and Android codebase
  • Mobile-ready API and auth layer with token refresh built in
  • Push notifications, offline storage, and deep linking
  • CI/CD pipeline with over-the-air updates for instant fixes
  • App Store and Play Store listing setup and submission
  • Crash reporting, so you catch bugs before the reviews do
Scope my app

Scoped as an MVP first, so you prove the idea before funding every feature.

All prices include GST.

How this runs

You will know the price and the plan before I touch anything.

1

Audit

I map your screens, then audit the API and auth behind them, because that’s where most app projects quietly break. The MVP gets scoped against what your backend can actually serve.

You leave with: a scoped MVP and a backend gap list.

2

Build

The React Native app comes together with push, offline storage, and deep linking wired to a mobile-ready data layer. You test working builds on your own phone, not screenshots.

You leave with: a working app on your test devices.

3

Pipeline

CI/CD gets set up with over-the-air updates and crash reporting, so fixes ship in minutes instead of waiting a week in store review. This is the part most quotes skip.

You leave with: an automated release pipeline.

4

Launch

I prepare both store listings, handle submission and review back-and-forth, and stay on for the first releases. Launch day is a step, not the finish line.

You leave with: live listings and first-release support.

A note from me

How I build apps

The first thing I audit isn’t the design, it’s your backend. Apps fail on endpoints built for browsers, auth flows bolted on late, and pipelines nobody planned. I’ve watched teams spend big on two native codebases when one React Native build would have shipped in half the time.

I scope MVP-first, always. A focused first version in real users’ hands beats a year of guessing what they might want. The feature list grows from usage data, not from the kickoff meeting’s wishlist.

And I won’t promise what your budget can’t buy. If a progressive web app serves you at a fraction of the cost, or your idea genuinely needs native performance, you’ll hear it in the first call.

Before you write in

This isn’t for every site.

Worth starting

  • Your business runs on WordPress or a web backend and needs a real app on top of it.
  • You’ve got native-development quotes that doubled your budget for the same screens.
  • An existing app is stuck: slow screens, broken auth, or fixes trapped in review queues.
  • You want an MVP in users’ hands this quarter, not a year-long build.
  • Content, commerce, or community from your site needs to live in people’s pockets.

Look elsewhere

  • Your budget is under ₹2,50,000. A progressive web app delivers most of the value for a fraction.
  • Your app needs heavy 3D, AR, or hardware-level performance. That’s native territory, and I’ll say so.
  • There’s no backend and no audience yet. Validate the idea with a landing page before funding an app.
  • You want every feature in version one. That’s how app budgets die; I build MVP-first or not at all.
  • You expect the stores to bring users by themselves. Distribution is marketing, and it isn’t included.

If you want to:

  • Ship both stores from one codebase instead of paying twice
  • Fix bugs in minutes with over-the-air updates, not review queues
  • Reuse your backend so the app extends your systems, not duplicates them

Common questions

Not answered here? Ask directly and you will hear back within 24 hours.

App builds start at ₹2,50,000, including GST, scoped as an MVP with a shared iOS and Android codebase. Complex features, heavy integrations, and custom backend work raise the quote, and you approve the full number before work starts.

One codebase means one build, one bug surface, and one team, at roughly half the cost of parallel Swift and Kotlin builds. For most business apps the result is indistinguishable to users. When a project genuinely needs native, games, AR, heavy graphics, I’ll tell you upfront.

Yes, that’s the sweet spot. Your WordPress or custom backend serves the app through APIs, so users, content, and orders stay in one system. The backend audit in week one confirms what’s ready and what needs a mobile-friendly layer.

A focused MVP typically takes 8 to 12 weeks from kickoff to store approval, depending on screens and backend readiness. Store review adds a few days at the end, which the timeline accounts for.

The CI/CD pipeline and over-the-air updates mean fixes ship in minutes without waiting on store review. I stay on through the first releases, and ongoing development after that is scoped as you need it, never as an automatic retainer.

So, who’s writing your code?

A WordPress Core contributor with plugins running on more than 10,000 sites.

Development clients get the person who ships his own plugins, not a project manager.

I was a teacher before I was a developer. I taught mathematics to competitive-exam students, which is why I explain hard things plainly instead of hiding behind jargon.

What I am actually good at is the join: technical SEO, fast front-ends, and content treated as one system instead of three vendors blaming each other.

  • WordPress Core contributor
  • Plugins on 10,000+ sites
  • wp-mcp, listed on the LobeHub marketplace
  • 850+ clients since 2008

Describe the app and the backend behind it.

Tell me what the app must do, what systems it talks to, and who’ll use it. I’ll reply with an MVP scope, the backend gaps to close, and a fixed quote.
