How much does it cost to build an iOS and Android app?
Cuanto Labs mobile apps start at $15K, fixed, over 8–16 weeks. For context, Dribbble's agency cost guide lists cross-platform apps at $20,000 to $350,000 and native iOS at $15,000 to $400,000. Our proposal fixes your number before any code exists, so scope is settled up front.
Can one codebase ship to both the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. We build in React Native and Expo, so a single codebase ships to iOS and Android with a native feel, and we handle the deployment to both stores. That is how a two-platform app stays at the cost of one build instead of two separate ones.
What features come in the base mobile build?
Push notifications and offline-first architecture are built in from the start, not bolted on after launch, alongside iOS and Android deployment. The app is React Native and Expo with a native feel. These are scoped into the fixed price in your written proposal before work begins.
Is a $15K mobile app realistic?
$15K is our published floor for a scoped React Native app. The market is wider: Dribbble lists cross-platform apps from $20,000 and progressive web apps from $10,000. A multi-phase build that needs more than one sprint costs more, and the number in your proposal is fixed before work starts.
Do I need a mobile app or will a web app do?
A web app starts at $8K and takes 4–8 weeks. A mobile app starts at $15K and takes 8–16 weeks, because of two platforms, store review cycles and device testing. If your users need push notifications and offline support on their phones, build mobile. Otherwise a web app may be the cheaper first step.
How does Cuanto Labs' mobile app price compare with South Florida firms?
Cuanto Labs starts at $15K, fixed. 4 of 17 South Florida software and web firms on Clutch that publish a minimum project list one above $15K, and the median minimum is $10,000+. Their median hourly band is $100-$149/hr. Clutch minimums cover any project type. Data as of September 26, 2026.

More questions
Native or cross-platform?
React Native and Expo, so one codebase ships to both stores. That is what keeps a two-platform app at one build's cost.
Do you handle the App Store and Play Store submissions?
Yes, iOS and Android deployment is part of the build.
Does it work without a connection?
Offline-first architecture is part of the build rather than something retrofitted after launch.
Why is the timeline longer than a web app?
Two platforms, store review cycles, and device testing. 8–16 weeks is the honest range; the fixed price is agreed before we start.
