Hiring an App Developer: FAQs

Common questions business owners ask when looking for a mobile engineering partner.

Should I choose Native (Kotlin) or Cross-Platform (Flutter)?

If you have a strict budget and need both iOS and Android, **Flutter is usually the best choice**. If you need maximum performance, complex hardware integration (Bluetooth, AR), or long-term scalability, **Native Kotlin** is superior.

How much does it cost to build an Android app?

A simple MVP can cost **$15k - $30k**. A standard business app (like Uber for X or E-commerce) usually falls between **$40k - $80k**. Enterprise-grade apps with AI or complex backends easily exceed **$100k+**.

Do I own the source code after development?

**Yes, you should.** reputable agencies transfer all IP rights and source code to you upon final payment. Always check the contract ("Work for Hire" clause) before signing to ensure you aren't held hostage by a vendor.

How long does it take to build an app?

An average timeline is **3 to 5 months**. This includes Discovery (2 weeks), Design (4 weeks), Development (8-10 weeks), and Testing/Launch (2 weeks). Rush jobs often compromise code quality.
