One codebase serves both platforms, so you are not paying for two separate builds. ## How I approach it React Native means one codebase produces both the iOS and Android app, which is why the price is a single figure rather than two. The design is done in Figma first, then built — so what you approve is what ships, and there is no rebuild after sign-off. Store submission is part of the job, not an afterthought handed back to you. That includes the review requirements both stores enforce, the assets they ask for, and the back-and-forth that usually catches teams out on a first submission. The back end is your choice — an existing service, or something custom. Most early apps do not need much of one, and I would rather tell you that than build infrastructure you are not using yet. Built for Founders who validated the idea and are ready to build the app Built for Businesses that need both platforms without paying for two builds Built for Teams that want design, build and submission from one person What you get out of it ### $2,500, both platforms One codebase covering iOS and Android, quoted as one fixed price. ### Live in the stores Submission and review handled, not handed back to you. ### Designed before built Figma first, so what you approve is what ships.

One codebase serves both platforms, so you pay once rather than twice and future changes ship to both at the same time. Native only earns its extra cost when an app leans heavily on platform-specific hardware or performance. 03 How long does an app take? Typically two to three weeks for design and development, plus store review time, which varies but is usually a few days for a first submission. 04 Do I need a back end? Not always. Plenty of early apps run on an existing service or a light setup. I would rather tell you that up front than build infrastructure you will not use for a year.
