Mobile App Development Company in UAE

Yes. We have clients in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and the Northern Emirates. Most meetings happen on video, but we come to you in Dubai and Abu Dhabi when it helps.

We design the Arabic version properly, right-to-left layout, Arabic fonts and copy checked by a native speaker. Not just a flipped English screen.

We build with TDRA guidelines and the UAE data protection law (PDPL) in mind, and we can host data inside the UAE if your industry needs it. For regulated sectors like health or finance we go through the specific requirements with you at the start.

Starter apps in the UAE begin at AED 4,999 - a fixed-price cross-platform package (iOS + Android from one codebase) with submission to both stores included. Custom MVPs typically run AED 25,000–50,000, full business apps AED 50,000–120,000, and enterprise builds AED 120,000–200,000+. Every Control Shift quote is fixed-price with milestones agreed before development starts. For a line-item breakdown with a calculator, see our app development cost guide at controlshift.ae/app-development-cost-dubai.

A well-scoped MVP launches in 4–8 weeks. Full business apps usually take 8–16 weeks, bigger enterprise builds 16+ weeks. The delivery date is in the proposal, so you know it before we start.

Theres no official ranking. Ask to see apps that are actually live in the stores, check if prices are published, and read the code ownership clause. We publish fixed AED prices, you get 100% of the source code, and apps like JBC Express, Salamah Drivers and NxVoy are live right now. Download them and judge for yourself.

Yes, its in every contract. At handover you receive the full Git repository, technical documentation, and the App Store and Google Play accounts in your company's name, so you are never locked into one vendor.

The UAE has lots of iPhone users, but Android is still a big share, so most businesses should launch on both. For the majority of startups and SMEs, a cross-platform build in React Native or Flutter is the fastest, most cost-effective route to both stores from one codebase. We recommend native Swift or Kotlin when you need deep hardware access, maximum performance, or platform-specific features.

Yes. Optional monthly support plans cover monitoring, crash fixes, OS-update compatibility (new iOS and Android releases), security patches and small feature iterations. Its optional. You own the code, so any team can maintain it.

Yes. We add things like AI chat, recommendations, document scanning and Arabic language features using OpenAI or custom models. NxVoy, our AI travel-planning app live in the stores, is a working example of a production AI mobile app built for this region.

Yes. We can scope customer ordering, sales follow-up or field-service apps around your existing business systems. Agree API access, user permissions, the source of truth for each record and any offline requirements. Test the mobile journey through to ERP or CRM records before a phased launch.
