FAQ
Common Questions
Mobile app development in Abu Dhabi starts from AED 15,000 for our fixed MVP offer and scales up from there based on platform, Stripe, Tabby, Tamara integration, and feature scope. Every project gets a fixed, scoped quote before a line of code is written.
Yes — Stripe, Tabby, Tamara are standard on Abu Dhabi projects. We also wire in Google Pay, Stripe-compatible PSPs and industry-specific rails where a product needs them, so the checkout matches what local users already trust.
Yes. Every project ships on both platforms from a single React Native codebase — one scope, one timeline, one budget. We move to native Swift or Kotlin when a feature needs deep hardware access or platform-specific behaviour.
A focused MVP can launch in 4 weeks. Full-featured iOS and Android apps typically take 8–14 weeks depending on payment, identity and third-party integrations.
Yes — we build for the government bodies, energy sector and ADGM fintechs driving the capital's growth. Our Abu Dhabi projects are built around the way Abu Dhabi users discover, buy and pay, from onboarding flows to the app-store listing copy that converts in this market.
Yes. GDPR compliance is built in from day one — data minimisation, consent management, right-to-erasure flows, encryption at rest and in transit, and alignment with UK ICO guidance on mobile data practices.
Yes — 100% code ownership on every project. Git repository, App Store and Google Play accounts in your name, and complete technical documentation are delivered at handover.
Yes, we architect our applications to comply with UAE PDPL and can deploy to local cloud infrastructure (like AWS UAE or Azure UAE) to meet strict data residency and sovereignty requirements.
