02 Where you are
Which situation are you in?
Most apps start from one of three places: a new idea, a rebuild, or an app another team started.
- 01/03
A new app
An idea or a design that needs to reach both stores. It starts with how to build it.
- 02/03
Rebuilding an ageing or unstable app
An app that crashes, lags or is hard to change, rebuilt without losing the users it already has. We rebuilt WAC's app; it is live and scaling.
- 03/03
Taking over an app another team started
We audit the code first, then recommend whether to fix, extend or rebuild, with our reasons.

05 Launch · draft scope
What does "launch" include?
Everything it takes to get the app live in both stores, under your own Apple and Google accounts.
Design for both platforms is part of the build; for design on its own, see UI/UX design. The rest of how we run a project is on our process page.
- Design
- Screens designed for Android and iOS, so the app feels at home on each.
- Build
- The app, its backend and an admin panel for your team.
- Analytics
- Set up before launch, so you can see how people use the first version.
- Testing
- On real Android and iOS devices, before anything is submitted.
- Store submission
- Under your own Apple and Google developer accounts, including handling review feedback. Store fees are billed at cost: Apple $99 a year, Google $25 once.

08 FAQ
Questions about mobile app development.
How much does it cost to build a mobile app in India?
A simple single-platform app typically costs ₹3–6 lakh, a cross-platform MVP ₹8–15 lakh and a mid-complexity app ₹15–30 lakh, depending on screens, roles and integrations.
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
A launch-ready MVP with one core flow, admin and analytics takes 8–14 weeks; larger apps are planned in phases after discovery.
Are you an Android app development company, or do you build iOS apps too?
We build for both, in Flutter, React Native or native Android and iOS: WAC's rebuilt app is native on both, Kaipo is React Native and Fincurry is Flutter. We recommend one after discovery based on your features and team.
What does an app cost to maintain after launch?
Plan for about 15–20% of the build cost a year, plus hosting from ₹2,000 to ₹40,000 a month by scale.
Can you take over or rebuild an app another team started?
Yes. We audit the code first, then recommend whether to fix, extend or rebuild, with our reasons.
How much does iOS app development cost?
An iOS app costs about the same to build as an Android one at the same scope (₹3–6 lakh for a simple app), plus Apple's $99 a year developer fee; building both in Flutter or React Native shares most of the cost.
Are you a Flutter app development company?
Yes: Flutter is one of our main mobile stacks, alongside React Native and native Android and iOS, and our own Fincurry and ApnaStaff apps are built in it; see our Flutter page for when it fits.
Is your mobile app development team in Bangalore?
Tailwebs was founded in Bengaluru in 2015, has its office in Domlur, and works with clients across India, the UK and the US.
