Yes — both platforms from a single codebase (typically Flutter), so you get native feel on iOS and Android without paying for two separate builds.

Most apps are store-ready in 5–6 weeks. The exact timeline depends on scope, which we lock in discovery so your launch date is real.

A validation prototype starts at $4k; a store-ready build is typically $14k+. You get one fixed price approved before we start — no hourly meters.

Yes. We prepare your listings, handle the review process, and manage any resubmits to get you approved on both stores.

We build cross-platform for speed and cost, with native modules where it counts (camera, biometrics, performance-critical bits). For most products it's indistinguishable from fully native — and ships far faster.

100%. You own all source, designs, IP and your App Store / Play accounts, handed over at launch. No lock-in.

Take it from here, or keep the same senior team on a monthly Scale engagement to ship updates and store releases from real usage and ratings.
