Frequently asked questions
20 minutes with a solutions architect. No sales script.
Five factors: the number of platforms, the number and type of features, and how custom the design is, plus security and compliance needs such as PDPL or payment data. Integrations also count, such as payment gateways, Nafath or ZATCA e-invoicing. The estimator shows how each factor moves your range, so you can see where the budget goes and compare scenarios.
A single-platform app with core features takes about 6 weeks in Launch Starter. An app on iPhone, Android and web with payments and an admin panel takes about 10 weeks in Launch Growth, and a multi-vendor marketplace about 16 weeks. The estimator shows a low and high figure based on the complexity you choose.
It is a planning range based on similar builds, not a quote. To get a fixed price, book the 2-week Idea Clarity Sprint. It produces user journeys, a clickable prototype and a written scope. The fee is credited to your build if you book a launch package within the 30-day proposal validity.
It covers discovery, design, build, testing and publishing to the app stores. Cloud hosting, app store fees and payment-gateway fees are paid to those providers directly; your final proposal estimates their monthly cost for your expected users. Estimates exclude VAT, which appears as a separate line in the proposal.
Yes. Launch packages are paid by milestone, and no milestone is invoiced until you accept its work. Eligible founders in Saudi Arabia and the UAE can pay milestones in Tabby instalments, subject to the provider's approval. Milestone dates and amounts are fixed in your contract before the build starts.
Every project includes a 60-day warranty, in which we fix any defect against the agreed acceptance criteria. After that, you can choose a Care Plan for security updates, app store updates and monitoring, or book a team for your next releases. The code and designs are yours on payment either way.
