How much does custom software development cost?

Project cost depends on scope, complexity, and team size. A focused MVP typically starts around $5,000–$15,000, while full-scale custom platforms range from $20,000 upward. We provide a transparent, fixed-scope estimate after a free discovery call — no surprises.

How long does it take to build a mobile app?

A core MVP mobile app takes 6–12 weeks from design to launch. Full-featured apps with complex integrations typically run 3–6 months. We work in weekly sprints with daily status updates so you always know exactly where things stand.

Do you work with startups or enterprise clients?

Both. We regularly work with early-stage founders who need a fast, reliable MVP, and with growing businesses that need to replace legacy systems or scale existing platforms. Our team adapts to your stage and budget.

What tech stack does Devkrest use?

For mobile we use Flutter and React Native (Expo). For web and backend we use Next.js, React, Node.js, and Laravel. Databases include PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and MySQL. For cloud infrastructure we work across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure — and we integrate OpenAI and other LLMs for AI-powered features.

How does the development process work?

We follow a four-step process: Kickoff & Plan (define goals and roadmap), Design with Purpose (UX/UI), Build in Sprints (agile, bi-weekly delivery cycles), and Launch & Scale (deployment, feedback loops, and ongoing improvements). You get daily updates and access to a shared project board throughout.

Do you offer post-launch support and maintenance?

Yes. We don't disappear after launch. We offer ongoing maintenance, performance monitoring, feature additions, and priority bug fixes. Most clients stay on a monthly retainer to keep their product improving as their business grows.

What is the biggest mobile app trend in 2025?

To tell the truth, the major trend is artificial intelligence encroaching on the earth-to-day app settings with great harmony. The apps are becoming more and more aware of your tastes, predicting your next click, and even ready to assist you with your tasks before you utter a word. It personally feels less of a "tech" move and more of a smart user's phone companion experience.

Are no-code/low-code tools good enough for business apps?

Yes, in the case of numerous applications involved. They are just right for quickly testing an idea or creating something simple without long delays. In case of extremely sophisticated applications, custom development will still be required. However, no-code tools will help you to accelerate that phase manifold.

Do small businesses really need to worry about app security?

Definitely, they should. Even a small app is a source of user data, and people have become very particular about privacy. Besides, new regulations (like GDPR and India’s DPDP Act) render security and privacy aspects compulsory. It is always easier and less costly to build the right kind of relationship with users from the outset than to resolve trust issues later on.

Is building a cross-platform app better than going fully native?

In the case of most companies in 2025, it is yes. The application of Flutter or React Native results in one-time development and release on both iOS and Android, saving a lot of time and money. Native development is still the way for very specific and advanced features, but cross-platform supports most of the applications very well.
