App Development (iOS, Android, Windows, Web)

Native and cross-platform apps for iOS, Android and Windows, plus installable web apps. One architect across every target instead of a handoff between separate mobile, desktop and web teams.

From $4,000

Overview

Most app-development shops split mobile, desktop and web into separate teams with their own handoffs baked in. I build all four platforms, iOS, Android, Windows and web, as one architecture. It's the same principle behind SharapovLab Trading Lab shipping as a single Windows desktop app with its own bundled backend, and behind this site itself running as a web app. One person owns the whole path, from UI down to backend and out the door as a release.

Pricing

MVP App

$4,000

Single platform (iOS, Android or Windows), core feature set.

  • One platform of your choice
  • Core user flows and screens
  • Backend API for the app's data
  • App store / release packaging

Cross-Platform App

$7,500

iOS + Android from one React Native codebase.

  • Shared codebase for iOS and Android
  • Native performance where it matters
  • Push notifications, offline support
  • Backend API included

Full-Stack App + Dashboard

$12,000

App(s) plus a backend, database and admin dashboard to run the business behind it.

  • Any combination of iOS / Android / Windows / web
  • Database-backed backend
  • Custom admin dashboard for content, users, analytics
  • Payment-integration-ready

These prices cover a typical scope for each tier. The final quote depends on platform count, feature complexity and integrations, and it's confirmed before any work starts.

How I Build This

React Native handles shared iOS/Android codebases when the UI and logic don't really need to diverge per platform: one codebase, two app stores. Native Swift or Kotlin comes in when a feature genuinely needs platform-specific APIs or performance a cross-platform layer can't deliver. For desktop, Electron or a native Windows build covers apps that need to run offline or bundle local services, which is exactly the approach used to ship Trading Lab as a double-click Windows installer with zero external dependencies.

One backend serves every client. Mobile, desktop and web apps call the same API instead of three disconnected systems slowly drifting out of sync with each other. Release and distribution get handled end to end too: app store submission, code signing, update mechanisms, not just a build that happens to work on a developer's laptop.

Who This Is For

Founders and businesses that need a real app, not a mobile-responsive website mistaken for one, across whichever platforms their users actually sit on, without juggling a separate contractor per platform.

FAQ

Do I need native apps, or would a mobile-friendly website work?

If the app needs offline access, push notifications, device hardware like a camera or biometrics, or an app-store presence, you need a real app. If it's mainly content and forms, a responsive website (see Website Development) is cheaper and faster.

Can one codebase really cover both iOS and Android well?

For most business apps, yes. React Native delivers native performance and platform-correct UI for the large majority of features, and platform-specific native modules only get added where they're genuinely needed.

Do you handle App Store / Play Store submission?

Yes, release packaging and store submission are part of the engagement rather than something left for you to figure out after the build is done.

Can the app and a website share the same backend?

Yes, that's the default. One backend API serves mobile, desktop and web clients so business logic never gets duplicated three separate times.
