How much does it cost to build an app in the UK?
The cost of mobile app development in the UK depends on the complexity, features, and integrations required. A simple MVP (Minimum Viable Product) may start from around £10,000, while more advanced applications involving custom backends, APIs, Bluetooth (BLE), or real-time data systems can range from £50,000 to £100,000+. Every project is different, so we provide detailed, fixed-price proposals based on your specific requirements. You can also explore our pricing here or use our App Cost Calculator here.
Do I own the intellectual property (IP) and source code?
Yes. You retain full ownership of your intellectual property and source code. Once the final payment is made, everything we build is yours to keep, modify, and scale as needed. We do not lock clients into proprietary systems or retain ownership of your application.
Are you a UK-based app development agency?
Yes, we are a UK-based mobile app development agency. Our team works locally, ensuring clear communication, reliable delivery, and high development standards. We do not outsource projects offshore, which allows us to maintain quality, consistency, and direct collaboration throughout your project.
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
The timeline for mobile app development depends on the scope and complexity of the project. A simple MVP can take 6–10 weeks, while more complex apps involving backend systems, integrations, or Bluetooth (BLE) functionality may take several months. We work in structured phases to deliver progress quickly while ensuring stability and scalability.
Can you help improve or fix an existing app?
Yes. We regularly work with businesses to improve, optimise, or fix existing iOS, Android, and Web applications. Whether your app has performance issues, outdated code, or needs new features, we can assess the current system and provide a clear plan to stabilise and enhance it.
Do you build apps that connect to hardware or devices?
Yes, we specialise in apps that connect to external devices using technologies like Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and APIs. We build reliable, real-time connections between mobile apps and hardware, ensuring stable communication and seamless user experience.
