What you leave the call with

Most agencies send a vague proposal two weeks later. We give you clarity in 30 minutes.
01

A realistic cost range

Not a ballpark designed to get you in the door. A real estimate based on your actual scope, with the variables that could push it up or down, explained clearly.
02

An honest timeline

MVP to launch in 10–16 weeks for most projects. Larger platforms run 6–12 months. We'll tell you exactly what drives the timeline and where the risks sit.
03

The right platform recommendation

React Native, Flutter, native iOS or Android OR Web App we'll tell you what actually fits your users, your budget, and your five-year roadmap.

No upsell agenda.

Every platform. One team.

We don't specialise in one technology and push everything through it. We build what's right for your product.
ReactJs (1)

React Native

One codebase for iOS and Android. Faster to build, easier to maintain, near-native performance for most product types.
Best for: Startups & scale-ups
swift-logo

Native iOS & Android

When performance, device access, or UX precision matters above all else. Built separately using Swift and Kotlin.
Best for: High-performance products
Flutter

Flutter

Pixel-perfect UI consistency across iOS, Android, and web. Strong choice for design-led or multi-platform products.

Best for: Design-led Startups & Scale Ups

Projects that started exactly like yours

An idea, a brief, and a team that could actually deliver it.
Vodafone Logo

Vodafone Fiji saw a 150% boost in engagement — and millions in new revenue.

We helped redesign and rebuild their app from the ground up. The result? Better UX, higher engagement, and real revenue growth. Great app development makes all the difference.

From brief to launch and what slows projects down

The timeline is predictable. The delays are too if you know what to watch for.
Tiffany and Binisha in Office
  1. compass Discovery & scoping
    1–2 weeks
    Requirements, architecture, user flows. Everything is documented before a line of code is written.

    Common delay:Changing requirements mid-discovery. Bring your stakeholders to this phase, not after.
  2. icon-UX-Design-Dec-17-2024-05-12-02-4750-AM UX design & prototype
    3–5 weeks
    Clickable prototype tested with real users before committing to the full build.

    Common delay: Approval loops with too many decision-makers. Assign one owner with sign-off authority.
  3. icons-agile-coach Agile development
    10–20 weeks
    Two-week sprints with fortnightly demos. You see progress, not just a finish line.

    Common delay: Scope creep - adding features mid-build. New features go to the next sprint, not the current one.
  4. rocket-launch Launch & handover
    2–3 weeks
    App Store submission, QA sign-off, go-live support, documentation your team can actually use.

    Common delay: App Store review rejections. We handle submission and respond to rejections as standard.
  5. Take the first Step!

Which situation is yours?

We work best when there's a real brief, a real deadline, and a real outcome on the other side of the launch.
Startups & founders

"I've validated the idea. I need the right team to build it."

Your first build sets the ceiling for everything that follows. One wrong decision on architecture here costs you 18 months later. We've seen it enough times that we've built a process specifically to prevent it.

  • MVP in 10–16 weeks, investor-ready from day one

  • Architecture designed to scale — not just to launch

  • Post-launch support included, no renegotiation

Fresh Clinics started here and are now an industry leader. They raised $32M.
Scale-ups

"Our app got us here. It won't get us where we're going."

You have traction. The platform is becoming the bottleneck — performance issues, a feature backlog, a dev team that's overwhelmed. You need someone to take on the technical weight and carry it properly.

  • Full technical audit before any rebuild decisions

  • Dedicated team embedded in your product cycle

  • Architecture that grows as your business grows

Plenti processed 40,000+ users in year one.
Enterprise & government

"The stakes are too high for an agency that disappears after launch."

Regulatory requirements, legacy integrations, sensitive data, board-level scrutiny. You need ISO-certified capability, a senior team on the account, and a track record with organisations like yours.

  • ISO 9001 & 27001 certified — externally audited

  • 200+ in-house specialists, no subcontracting

  • Clients: Optus, NSW Health, UNSW, Vodafone

NSW Health. UNSW. Vodafone Fiji. Still with us.

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.

Questions before the first call

Not very. We've had great discovery calls from a one-page summary and bad ones from a 50-page spec that missed the core user problem. Come with your business context, your audience, and a sense of what success looks like. We'll ask the right questions from there.

30 minutes with a senior consultant — not a sales rep. You'll leave with a realistic cost range, an honest timeline, a platform recommendation, and a clear picture of the risks in your project. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you that too.

For well-scoped projects, yes. Fixed price requires a completed discovery phase so both sides have confidence in the scope. For projects with significant unknowns, time-and-materials with milestone checkpoints usually protects you better than an artificially padded fixed quote.

Yes. We regularly take over projects with existing Figma files, technical specs, or partially completed builds. We'll review what you have, tell you honestly what's worth keeping, and scope from there.

30 minutes with a senior consultant — not a sales rep. You'll leave with a realistic cost range, an honest timeline, a platform recommendation, and a clear picture of the risks in your project. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you that too.

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.

For most startups and scale-ups, React Native or Flutter gives you 90% of the native experience at 60% of the cost. Native iOS and Android makes sense when you need deep device integrations, maximum performance, or platform-specific features cross-platform frameworks can't handle cleanly. We'll give you an honest recommendation on the call — we have no preferred technology to sell you.
