FAQ
Common Questions
Mobile app development in Dubai 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 Dubai 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 startups, enterprises and global headquarters that make Dubai a global tech hub. Our Dubai projects are built around the way Dubai 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 offer structured maintenance and growth retainers to keep your app updated, secure, and scaling as your user base in the UAE grows.
