How much does it cost to build a mobile app in Sharjah?

A basic MVP typically runs AED 75,000 to 180,000. Medium-complexity apps run AED 180,000 to 380,000, and advanced or enterprise apps can run AED 380,000 and up, depending on features, integrations, and platforms.

How long does mobile app development typically take?

It depends on scope, but MVPs typically land in the 10 to 16 week range, with more complex products taking longer. We confirm a real number once discovery is done, not before.

Do you offer a fixed-price or time-and-materials model?

We offer both. Fixed-scope works well when the project is clearly defined. Time-and-materials fits better when the scope is likely to shift as we go.

What technologies do you use for iOS and Android development?

We use Swift and SwiftUI on iOS, Kotlin and Jetpack Compose on Android, and reach for Flutter or React Native when a shared codebase across both platforms makes more sense.

Can you build AI features into our mobile app?

Yes. Whether it’s an LLM assistant, computer vision, or predictive analytics, AI features get built with the same security and compliance rigor as the rest of the app, not a lighter standard.

Do you build the backend as well as the app?

Yes, backend is part of the same engagement. APIs, authentication, and cloud infrastructure all get built by the same team handling your app, not outsourced to a separate vendor. This includes connecting into existing ERP or shop-floor systems where relevant.

Can our app reach customers across the Northern Emirates, not just Sharjah?

Yes. Many Sharjah-based clients use their app to serve customers across Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah as well. We scope for that reach during discovery when it applies.

What happens after the app launches?

Support continues after launch, covering crash monitoring, keeping up with OS updates, and iterating on features based on how people are actually using the app.

Do you work with Sharjah startups as well as established manufacturers and SMEs?

Yes, from early-stage MVP builds for SPARK-based startups through to established manufacturing, logistics, and education businesses.

What is the difference between a dedicated team and staff augmentation?

A dedicated team is fully assigned to your project under Akoode’s project management. Staff augmentation places individual engineers inside your existing team and reporting structure.

Can you take over a mobile app started by another Sharjah developer or agency?

We do this often. A technical audit of the codebase and App Store account comes first, followed by a remediation plan before any development resumes.

Do you sign NDAs before sharing project details?

Yes. Akoode signs NDAs before any detailed technical or commercial discussions, and all intellectual property transfers fully to the client.

How do you handle App Store and Google Play submission?

App Store and Google Play submission is included in every engagement, covering listing prep, metadata, and the review-guideline issues that usually trip up a first submission.
