Most Kenyan businesses do not need the most expensive option. We'll tell you which of these actually fits your users and your budget on the first call — including when the cheaper route is the better one.
One codebase ships to both Google Play and the App Store. Fastest route to being on both platforms, and the cheapest to maintain because there is only one thing to update.
Built natively for Android only, which is where the overwhelming majority of Kenyan users are. iOS can follow later once the app has proven itself.
Separate codebases tuned to each platform. Worth it when you need heavy device access — background location, deep camera work, offline-first sync, or demanding animation.
Two apps that sound identical in a WhatsApp message can differ by a factor of five once you get into the detail. Quoting a figure before we understand yours would mean padding it to cover the unknowns — and you'd pay for that padding. So here is exactly what moves the number instead. Bring these to the call and we can usually quote within 48 hours.
A booking app with 6 screens and a 30-screen marketplace are different projects. Screen count is the single biggest driver.
Android-only is meaningfully less work than Android and iOS together — and often the smarter place to start.
Anonymous browsing is cheap. Logins, profiles, permissions and password resets each add real work.
M-Pesa Daraja STK Push is well-trodden ground for us. Card payments, split payments or payouts add scope.
Working with no signal and syncing later is genuinely hard, and it is where a lot of budget goes when needed.
Someone has to manage the content and orders behind the app. Sometimes that already exists; sometimes we build it.
A finished Figma file shortens the build. If you need the design created, that is a separate phase we can quote.
Store fees, OS updates and support are ongoing. We agree the maintenance arrangement up front, not after.
The commitment: once we've scoped it, you get a written fixed price and a delivery date. It does not move unless you change the scope — and if you do, we re-quote that change before building it. The scoping call itself is free and you own whatever comes out of it, whether you build with us or not.
We walk through what the app has to do and who uses it. You leave with a written scope even if you stop there.
One price, one timeline, a clear list of what is in and what is not.
You see working builds on your own phone as we go — not a reveal at the end.
Play Store and App Store submission, listing copy, screenshots and the review back-and-forth.
Even a rough idea is enough to start. We'll tell you honestly whether an app is the right answer — sometimes a mobile-ready website does the job for a fraction of the cost.
