Questions, answered.
How much does mobile app development in Dubai cost?
Most projects fall between AED 80,000 – AED 320,000, with a typical timeline of 10–24 weeks. The main cost drivers are the number of user roles, integrations, Arabic content and how polished the first release must be. You get a fixed price after a short scoping call.
Do you work with companies in Dubai?
Yes. We work with mainland and free-zone companies across Dubai. We work on UAE business hours, Monday to Friday, with a delivery lead you can reach directly and an engineering team in India. Workshops run over video, and you see progress in a demo every two weeks.
Should we build native or cross-platform?
For most business apps, cross-platform (Flutter or React Native) gives you both stores from one codebase at roughly 60% of the cost of two native apps. We recommend native only for heavy device features such as advanced camera, AR or Bluetooth hardware.
Who owns the source code?
You do. The repository, designs and store accounts are in your name from day one.
