iOS app development at a fixed price

Native apps for iPhone and iPad, in Swift and SwiftUI, on three public-price tiers. You know what it costs and how long it takes before you even write to us: no quote to wait for.

What we build

We build native iOS apps: smooth, consistent with the system and ready for the App Store. The packages cover three typical needs: a showcase app with the essential information (Base), an app with user accounts and self-updating content (Plus) and a complete app for selling or offering services, with in-app payments and integrations (Pro).

Each package lists precisely what it includes: screens, features, revision cycles and delivery time. Anything not on the list is assessed separately, with its own cost.

Why a native Swift app

A native app uses Apple's official tools (Swift and SwiftUI) and behaves the way iPhone users expect: smooth, accessible and compatible with system features such as dark mode, push notifications and Sign in with Apple.

It is the right choice when the user experience matters and the app must stay maintainable over time: the source code and documentation are handed over to you at the end of the project, with no ties to us.

How the project works

  • Pick a tier and order from the site: the price you see is the price you pay.
  • We define screens and features according to the chosen package.
  • We build the app and show you progress in your client area, with the revision cycles included in the package.
  • We publish on the App Store from your Apple Developer account and hand over code and documentation.

What determines the price of an iOS app

The price grows with how much the app has to do and with the systems it has to talk to. In our packages there are three steps:

  • Base (€4,500): a showcase app with up to 5 screens and no user accounts. Information, gallery, contact and map.
  • Plus (€9,600): adds user accounts, a cloud backend to update content without a new release, push notifications, in-app search and offline mode.
  • Pro (€19,500): adds Apple Pay payments, integrations with CRMs and back-office systems, an admin panel with roles and unlimited features.

Native or cross-platform: what changes

Our packages are for native apps in Swift and SwiftUI. It is the soundest choice for user experience and long-term maintenance. A cross-platform approach such as Flutter or React Native can instead cost less at first release when the same app is needed on iPhone and Android.

The full comparison, with the pros and cons of both, is in the article native or cross-platform app: how to choose.

What you need to get started

For store costs, documents and review times read how much it costs to publish an app on the App Store and Google Play.

  • The Apple Developer account ($99 a year), in your name: we publish from there.
  • Logo, colours and the text you want in the app, even as a draft.
  • A clear idea of who will use the app and what it must do in the first version.
  • A contact person who answers questions and approves the revision rounds.

iOS apps we built

Two concrete examples: Riabilitazione Bancaria, with a preliminary consultation, document submission and a support chat for appeals to the Banking and Financial Ombudsman, and Ricorsi Multe Italia, to send your fine from your phone and receive the appeal ready to file. See all the completed projects.

What is included and what is not

  • Included: native development, App Store publishing, source files and documentation, the revision cycles stated in the package.
  • Included: free fixes for conformity issues within 30 days of delivery.
  • Not included: the Apple Developer account ($99 a year), which must be in your name.
  • Not included: features not in the chosen package: they are assessed separately.

How much it costs and how long it takes

The iOS app starts at €4,500 (3-4 weeks) and goes up to €19,500 (10-14 weeks) for a complete app. To understand what drives an app's price, read how much it costs to develop an app.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to develop an iOS app?

From €4,500 (Base) to €19,500 (Pro), at public prices. Beyond the package, the only fixed extra cost is the Apple Developer account ($99 a year), which stays yours.

How long does it take to get the app?

It depends on the tier: 3-4 weeks for Base, 6-8 weeks for Plus, 10-14 weeks for Pro.

Is the source code mine?

Yes. Source files and documentation are handed over at the end of the project.

Who publishes the app on the App Store?

We publish it from your Apple Developer account. Final review is handled by Apple and is outside our control; if the app is rejected over specifications included in the package, we help you at no extra cost.

Can I also get the Android version?

Yes, with a separate package: see fixed-price Android app development.

How can I pay?

By card (Stripe) or PayPal straight from the site; where available also in cryptocurrency. The price you see is the price you pay, with no quote to request.

Can I start with the Base package and add features later?

Yes, it is a common path: you start with a showcase app and add what you need. Features not included in the package are quoted separately, starting from what has already been built: write to us and we will prepare a proposal.

What happens after the 30 days of free fixes?

After the 30 days, updates and new features are quoted separately. The source code is yours, so you can carry on with us or with whoever you prefer.
