It depends on the scope of the project. If it’s a simple app and all of the system specifications, user stories, and designs are ready; it can take as little as 60-75 days. For more complex projects; and depending on the project budget, 6-12 months. Call us at 1-800-336-7716 or schedule your strategy session to get a more realistic answer for your project. 

We can use AI for the right things: research, test data, documentation, and sometimes boilerplate code. We don’t let an AI “auto-build” your product end-to-end.
Why? Fully AI-generated apps often:

• Are hard to maintain once the original “builder” disappears,

• Hide security and performance issues, and

• Can’t scale when your user base grows.
  Our approach: real engineers and designers using AI as a power tool—never as a replacement for proper architecture, code review, and testing.

You can but for very very simple applications/tools. For anything more complicated, you’ll likely pay twice: once for the initial build, and again for the rebuild. We regularly inherit projects that:

• Look good in a demo but collapse under real traffic,

• Are glued together with random plugins and copied code,

• Have no documentation, tests, or deployment process.
  If your app is a serious business asset (not just a school project), you need solid foundations: clear architecture, clean code, and a partner who plans for version 2.0 and 3.0 from day one.

We’ve worked on simpler projects as low as $10k and larger projects over $1M. See further below for rough pricing. You can also read more about mobile app development cost.

You don’t need a 50-page spec, but you do need clarity. Before we start, we’ll help you define three things:

1. Who your primary user is,

2. The one core problem your app solves for them, and

3. What “success” looks like in the first 6–12 months (revenue, usage, efficiency, etc.).
   From there, we turn that into a scoped MVP, timeline, and budget so you’re not paying to build “everything” at once.

Yes. A big part of our work is saying “no” or “not yet.” We can run a short discovery phase where we:

• Stress-test your concept and assumptions,

• Prioritize features into “must-have” vs “nice-to-have,” and

• Outline a lean MVP you can use to test the market or raise capital.
  If we don’t believe the project is viable or fundable, we’ll tell you early—before you burn time and money.

The projects that win have engaged founders. We’ll need you to:

• Make timely decisions when we present options,

• Provide or approve content and key messaging,

• Join milestone reviews (wireframes, designs, demos), and

• Be honest about your budget and deadlines.
  We’ll handle the tech. Your job is to own the vision and help us keep it aligned with your business.

You have options. We can:

• Train your internal team and hand off clean code, or

• Stay on as your long-term partner for maintenance, new features, analytics, and optimization.
  Either way, we design your app so it can be monitored, updated, and improved—not dumped in a server and forgotten.

Yes, but we’ll be honest about what’s salvageable. We usually start with a code and architecture review to see:

• Whether it’s safer to refactor or to rebuild,

• What technical debt you’re carrying, and

• How much time and budget it would take to stabilize things.
  If a full rewrite is the smarter long-term move, we’ll tell you—and show you a phased path so you’re not starting from zero overnight.

Yes. We regularly work under NDAs for app and product work. You’re welcome to send your own NDA for review, or you can use ours: Sign our standard mutual NDA
