Fresh Clinics raised $32 million.

The technology platform that made it possible: Telehealth compliance, Integrated clinic management, Real-time prescribing oversight for 2,000+ practitioners across Australia and the US: Deloitte Fast 50 for 3 Years.

All designed and built by EB Pearls.

🎥 Watch how our clients launched smarter, scaled faster, and stayed in control.

Your App, Your Users, Your Outcomes. Owned end-to-end.

You don't need an agency that hands off at launch. You need one team that takes full accountability, from the first sketch through to the product your users actually love and keep using.

design

Your app, built for iOS & Android

Native or cross-platform, whichever gives your users the best experience on their device. You'll never be pushed toward a technology that suits the agency more than it suits your product.

Development

Your MVP, in market in 10–16 weeks

You've validated the idea. Now you need to prove it fast, cleanly, without burning your runway on features that don't matter yet. Prototype first. Build only what's needed. Then scale.

Growth icon

Your platform, rescued or rebuilt

Your current app is holding the business back. Technical debt, a failed offshore build, or an agency that stopped returning calls. You need someone to take ownership and fix it properly. Not just patch it.

Does This Sound Like You?

Before you book a call, see if your situation matches. If it does, this will be 30 minutes well spent. If it doesn't, we'll tell you that on the call. Honestly.
Funded Startups

Your idea is validated. Now you need the right team to build it.

Your first build sets the ceiling for everything that follows. A wrong agency choice here costs you 12 to 18 months and potentially your runway. You need someone who's done this before and will still be there after launch.
  • Your MVP in 10–16 weeks
  • Investor-ready documentation included
  • Post-launch support as standard. No re-negotiation.
Scale-Ups

Your app got you here. It won't get you where you're going.

You have traction but the platform is becoming a liability. Performance issues, feature backlogs, a dev team that's overwhelmed. You need a partner who can take on the technical weight and carry it properly.
  • Full platform audit before any rebuild decisions
  • Dedicated team embedded in your product lifecycle
  • Your app grows as your business grows
Enterprise & Government

The stakes are too high for an agency that disappears

Your project has real complexity: regulatory requirements, legacy integrations, sensitive data, or a board that needs confidence in the delivery partner. You need ISO-certified capability and a track record with organisations like yours.
  • ISO 9001 & 27001 certified
  • 200+ in-house specialists, no subcontracting
  • Clients include Optus, NSW Health, University of Sydney

You can start at any stage. Whichever situation is yours, the next step is the same.

A 30-minute call where we'll hear honestly what your project needs, what it will cost, and whether we're the right team.

No pitch. No obligation.

What your app will cost. Honestly.

Most agencies won't tell you until you've signed. Here's what projects like yours typically cost in Australia, so you can walk into any conversation with realistic expectations.
Budget & Timeline

Typical Budget

Focused MVP
Validated idea, core feature set, App Store launch. Proof of concept for investors or early users.
$50K – $150K

Growth Platform
Startup or scale-up platform with custom backend, integrations, and architecture designed for growth.
$80K – $400K+

Enterprise Platform
Complex integrations, regulatory compliance, high security requirements, large user base.
$120K - $400K+

Typical Timeline

  • Discovery & Scoping: 1–2 wks
  • UX Design & Prototype: 3–5 wks
  • Agile Development: 10–20 wks
  • Launch & App Store: 2 - 3 weeks
These are honest ranges, not quotes.

Your actual cost and time depends on scope, complexity, and the decisions made before a line of code is written. The discovery call gives you a specific, itemised picture. Not a ballpark figure designed to get you in the door.

You'll never wonder where things stand.

Most agencies make you feel like an outsider in your own project. Calls go unreturned. Updates are vague. Here's exactly what your experience looks like with us instead.

Launch and Ongoing Support

12 months of post-launch support included. Same team. Same codebase knowledge. No renegotiation. Most of our clients are still with us years after their first project.

Ongoing

Can AI just build your app?

Honestly - parts of it, yes. We use AI tools on every project.

Here's what that actually means for yours.

What AI still can't do

Decide how your architecture should scale to 100K users
Make security and compliance judgements for your industry
Manage a project, a client relationship, or a missed deadline
Own the outcome when something fails after launch
Replace the engineer who designed the system and understands why

What AI does in our builds

Generates boilerplate code in minutes not days
Accelerates test coverage across the codebase
Automates documentation as the build progresses
Helps our engineers ship faster without cutting corners
Identifies bugs and edge cases during development

The honest truth

AI tools make experienced developers faster. They don't replace the judgement, architecture decisions, and accountability that determine whether your platform survives contact with real users at scale.

Real results from real projects

Not polished award submissions. Outcomes you can verify, from clients who'll pick up the phone before you decide.

💥 You deserve a straight answer about your app.

30 minutes. A senior consultant who's seen 900+ projects. You'll leave knowing exactly what your app will take, what it'll cost, and whether we're the right team.

No pitch. No pressure. 

Is this the right call for you?

Be honest with yourself before you book.
This call works best when there's genuine fit. Here's what that looks like on both sides.

who EB Pearls is not for

Your budget is under $30K. A quality build at this scale isn't possible below that floor and we won't pretend otherwise
You want to skip validation and "just start building". That's how 90% of failed apps start
You need someone to take instructions, not challenge them. We push back when the brief will produce the wrong outcome
You're comparing on hourly rate only. Our rate isn't the cheapest and the difference shows in what you get at the end
You're not the decision-maker. We need someone in the room who can say yes after the call. Not take it back for approval

This call is worth your 30 minutes if...

You have a budget of $50K+ and understand quality has a floor
You've already validated your idea and know what problem you're solving
You want a partner who owns the outcome, not a contractor who clocks hours
Your current platform is holding your business back and you need someone to fix it properly
You've been burned before and need someone who'll be accountable this time

Looking for a Smooth and Successful App Design & Development Experience?

Creating an app doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We’re here to guide you every step of the way, from idea to launch.

The questions you're probably already thinking.

If something isn't here, bring it to the call. No question is too blunt.

A well-built MVP typically starts from $80,000–$150,000 for a focused, validated feature set. Complex platforms with custom backends, AI features, or deep integrations range from $150,000–$600,000+. You'll get a detailed, itemised scope document before any commitment, so you know exactly what you're paying for and why. Cheaper options exist. The question is whether you can afford to rebuild in 18 months.

Clutch rankings are based on verified client reviews, delivery quality, market presence, and industry recognition. Not paid placements or self-reported claims. Clients write reviews independently. We've held the number one position for four consecutive years because those reviews reflect real outcomes: $200K to $400K in client savings, 150% engagement uplifts, and platforms still running years later. We didn't buy the ranking. We built it.

This is the most common reason people call us. The patterns are always the same: vague scoping, missed timelines, no post-launch accountability. Every project you hand us is governed by our Built to Last™ framework: validated before build, prototype before code, fixed scope per sprint, and 12 months of post-launch support included as standard. We've been doing this since 2005. We're still here. The agencies that burned you probably aren't.

We sign an NDA before any detailed discussion - not after, not on request. Your idea, your architecture decisions, and everything discussed in your Discovery Call stays legally protected from day one. Our contracts are reviewed by independent legal counsel. Ask to see the NDA template before you book anything.

Across 900+ projects we've built for fintech, healthcare, proptech, logistics, government, and consumer platforms - many of which are still in the App Store top 10. If your vertical is on that list, we'll show you comparable work before your Discovery Call. If it's genuinely new territory, we'll tell you that honestly and explain how we'd approach it. We don't oversell experience we don't have.

Most of our best projects started with a one-paragraph idea. What matters at this stage isn't a detailed spec - it's a clear problem worth solving. Bring us the problem. We'll run a Product Discovery Workshop to stress-test the concept, define the right MVP scope, and validate it against real user behaviour before a dollar goes into development. You don't need to have the answers. You need a team that asks the right questions.

A focused MVP with a clear scope typically takes 10–16 weeks from design sign-off to App Store submission. Enterprise platforms range from 6–12 months. Your timeline is directly tied to scope clarity. The more decisions made upfront, the faster your build moves. We've delivered MVPs in 8 weeks. We've also told clients their timelines were unrealistic and lost the project. We're fine with that.

Yes. Full stop. All IP, source code, design files, and documentation transfer to you on final payment. We don't retain licensing rights or hold code in escrow. Our contracts are reviewed by independent legal counsel before signing. If any agency won't commit to this in writing before you sign anything, that's a serious red flag. Walk away.

Every project includes 12 months of post-launch support as standard. Not a separate negotiation. Your team monitors performance, fixes bugs, submits App Store updates, and stays available. Most clients stay with us for years after their first project. Rebuilding trust with a new team is expensive and risky. If you're worried about being abandoned post-launch, ask us to show you how many current clients are on year 3 or 4 with us.

You don't need to be. Our Engineering Manager owns the technical communication so you never have to decode jargon to know what's happening. You get a live dashboard, fortnightly sprint reviews, and plain-language updates at every stage. If you are technical, you'll have direct access to the engineering team. Either way, you'll always know exactly where your project stands.

Yes - iOS, Android, web, and wearables including Apple Watch and Wear OS. But platform choice isn't a preference question - it's a strategic one. The right platform depends on your users, your use case, and your growth timeline. We'll make that recommendation in your Discovery Call based on your specific context, not on what's cheapest or fastest to build. We've never pushed a client toward a platform that suited us more than it suited their product.

Yes. Many of our projects qualify for Australian R&D tax incentives, and we structure builds to maximise that eligibility from the start - not as an afterthought. We've also supported clients with investor-ready prototypes and technical documentation for funding rounds. If R&D or investment is part of your plan, raise it in your Discovery Call, and we'll factor it into the scope conversation.
