Frequently Asked Questions
The cost to build an app varies greatly based on many factors. We’ve built apps that were as little as $25,000 while others after 2 years of development approached $1 million. Once we understand your app better through our Discovery service, we can provide a realistic estimate.
Time will vary based on the complexity of your app, but for most solutions it takes 3 – 6 months from Discovery to Deployment for your MVP or version 1.
The short answer is maybe. It partly depends upon your existing technology, goals, quality of source code and other factors. Jump on a quick call with us to discuss your needs. If we can’t help you, we’ll work to refer you to someone who can.
A clickable prototype is a type of interactive mock-up of your app that allows you to click through a series of screens or pages as if it were a fully functioning product. This ensures you get exactly what you envision and helps you to test and validate your idea with customers, investors or other stakeholders before development begins.
We fully hope that someday you are so successful, that hiring your own dedicated team becomes a reality. From day one you are in control and hold the keys to your services and source code. We also help with that transition through great software documentation and will work with you to get your team up to speed.
Yes! We have extensive experience in healthcare, financial services, technology services, real estate, social media platforms within various industries.
