Mobile App Development in the UK

We are an Indian engineering team working with businesses in the UK. Written scope before any code, and a fixed quote in GBP.

Working hours

Our day runs 09:00 to 18:00 India time, which is 03:30 to 12:30 in the UK, or 04:30 to 13:30 while you are on summer time, so most of your morning overlaps with ours.

Quoted in GBP

Quotes exclude the 20% VAT in the UK, shown separately on the invoice.

Data protection

Work for this market is scoped against the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, agreed before development starts rather than retrofitted afterwards.

Written scope

Every engagement starts with a written scope and a fixed GBP quote within 24 hours, so the price is set before work begins.

About Mobile App Development

We build cross-platform apps in Flutter and React Native, wire up the backend, push, and offline sync, and hand them to the App Store and Play Console for you. A senior team in Noida, flat quotes, and a written scope before any code.

What the engagement includes

  • Senior engineers on your app from day one. No junior offshore team behind an account manager, no handoff after you sign.
  • Direct access to the people writing the code. You talk to the developer, not a layer that relays your questions and loses half of them.
  • Both app stores handled end to end, including signing, listings, and the review process, so you are not learning Play Console under deadline.
  • Flat INR quotes against a written scope, turned around in 24 hours. We can invoice in USD to a foreign parent entity if you need that.
  • 70 plus projects shipped for clients in India, the USA, Canada, the UK, and the UAE, so this is not our first launch.
  • Honest scoping. If you need one app and not three, or a web app instead of a native one, we will tell you before you spend.

How we work with UK clients

UK engagements tend to start with procurement questions rather than technical ones. Who holds the data, which law governs the contract, whether you can produce a record of processing if the ICO asks. We answer those in the proposal instead of leaving them to a legal review three weeks in, because that review is where UK projects usually stall.

Invoicing is the other thing worth settling early. We are outside the UK, so services we supply generally fall under the reverse charge and your finance team accounts for the VAT rather than paying it to us. Our invoices say so explicitly. We quote in pounds, the figure does not move with the exchange rate mid-project, and payment by bank transfer avoids the card fees that make a five-figure invoice unnecessarily expensive.

We built one

Jai Shri Balaji Store

A customer app on iOS and Android and a driver app on Android, both Flutter, shipped together on one backend, with the store itself run from a web admin rather than a third app it did not need.

Questions UK clients ask

How does VAT work if you are based in India?

For most business-to-business services supplied from outside the UK, the reverse charge applies: you account for the VAT in your own return rather than paying it to us, and it is typically neutral if you are fully recoverable. Our invoices state the position clearly so your accountant is not guessing. If your situation is unusual, for example partial exemption, we would rather your accountant confirms the treatment before we invoice than after.

Are you compliant with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018?

We build to it rather than claiming a certificate. In practice that means data minimisation designed in rather than bolted on, a documented lawful basis for each processing activity, retention periods that actually delete, subject access and erasure handled as features rather than manual database work, and hosting in a region you approve. Where we process personal data on your behalf we sign a processor agreement setting out exactly that.

We are a public sector body. Can you meet the accessibility regulations?

Yes, and it is scoped from the start because retrofitting accessibility is considerably more expensive than building it in. We work to WCAG 2.2 AA, test with a screen reader rather than relying on an automated scan, and produce the accessibility statement the regulations require. Automated tools catch perhaps a third of real issues, which is why the manual pass is not optional.

Which law governs the contract, and what about IR35?

We are happy to contract under English law with the courts of England and Wales, and most UK clients prefer that. IR35 does not apply to us: it governs individuals working through an intermediary, and you are engaging a company for a defined deliverable rather than a person for their time. Your accountant will want to see that the contract reflects that, and ours does.

Mobile App Development: common questions

Flutter or React Native, which one should I pick?

Flutter if your UI is custom and you want it to look and behave identically on iOS and Android from one codebase; it is what we used for both Jai Shri Balaji apps. React Native if you already have a React web team or depend on JavaScript libraries, because the skills and some code transfer. For most first apps we lean Flutter. On our call we pick based on your team and your UI, not a house preference.

Do you build native iOS and Android, or only cross-platform?

We build cross-platform in Flutter or React Native, which compile to real native iOS and Android apps from a single codebase. For the vast majority of business apps that is the right call: one team, one codebase, both platforms, lower cost. We are not the right studio if you specifically need fully separate Swift and Kotlin native codebases or a heavy native game engine.

Do you handle App Store and Play Console submission?

Yes, end to end. That includes developer account setup if you do not have one, app signing, store listings, screenshots, privacy and data-safety declarations, and the review back-and-forth with Apple and Google. First submissions often get bounced for small reasons, and we handle that so your launch does not slip.

How much does a mobile app cost?

A flat quote against a written scope, never an hourly meter. Send us the brief, we write the scope, and you get back one flat INR number, with the exact figure inside 24 hours. If you have a foreign parent company, we can invoice that entity in USD. What moves the number is how many screens, integrations, and platforms you actually need, not a clock.

How long does it take to build an app?

It depends on the build, so the real timeline goes in the written scope rather than a stock number here. We work in short sprints with a working build at the end of each, so you see progress the whole way instead of waiting months for a big reveal. The backend and the integrations, not the number of screens, are what move a timeline most.
