Questions, answered.
How much does mobile app development for trading and distribution 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.
Are you ready for UAE e-invoicing?
Yes. We structure invoice data so it can flow to an accredited e-invoicing service provider as the mandate phases in.
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.
