Mobile app development encompasses the entire process of creating applications for mobile devices — from planning and design to development, testing, and deployment on app stores. With India having over 750 million smartphone users and mobile-first internet behaviour, mobile apps are often the primary way businesses reach their customers.
Key Points
- Approaches: native (Swift/Kotlin), cross-platform (Flutter/React Native), hybrid (web-based)
- India is mobile-first: 70%+ of internet traffic comes from mobile devices
- App Store Optimisation (ASO) is critical for discoverability
- Key considerations: offline capability, performance on low-end devices, data efficiency
Frequently Asked Questions
A basic app (5-10 screens, simple functionality) costs ₹5-12 lakhs. A medium-complexity app (user auth, payment integration, backend API) costs ₹12-30 lakhs. A complex app (AI features, real-time data, advanced UI) costs ₹30-60+ lakhs. Cross-platform development (Flutter) typically costs 30-40% less than building separate iOS and Android apps.
MVP (core features only): 8-12 weeks. Full-featured app: 4-6 months. Complex app with AI/ML: 6-9 months. These timelines assume a dedicated team of 2-4 developers. Sparks AI provides detailed project timelines during the discovery phase before any development begins.
