Should I build for iPhone, Android, or both?
Start where most of your users are. If you need both from day one, a cross-platform app in Flutter or React Native reaches both for less than two native apps. We'll help you decide at your free consultation. Native iOS & Android development
Should I choose native or cross-platform?
Choose native for top performance, heavy use of phone hardware, or a one-platform launch. Choose cross-platform to reach iPhone and Android on one budget. Most business apps work well as cross-platform apps. Cross-platform app development
Flutter or React Native?
Both are proven. Flutter, from Google, is great for custom, branded designs that look the same everywhere. React Native, from Meta, is great if you already use React on the web or have a JavaScript team. We build in both.
Who owns the code and the app store accounts?
We recommend your business owns its Apple Developer and Google Play Console accounts, so the app is listed under your name. Ownership of the code and design files is spelled out in writing in your project agreement, so you'll know exactly what you get before any work starts.
Do I need an LLC to start an app?
You don't need one to build an app. Many founders form an LLC before launch to keep business and personal finances separate and to publish under a company name. This is general information, not legal advice. Talk to an attorney or accountant about your situation.
Can't I just build my app with an AI app builder?
AI builders can be fine for a quick prototype or a personal project. For an app you plan to sell, grow or run a business on, you'll need custom design, a solid backend, security, and App Store and Google Play approval. That's where an experienced team pays for itself. Many founders start with a prototype, then have us build the real thing.
