Your React Native App Development Company

A React Native development company that creates iOS and Android apps for startups and businesses. Give us an idea — we'll take care of the rest.

From $25/houriOS + Android from one codebaseReact Native + React + Node.js

IOS and Android development with react native

We’ve been providing React Native services since 2016 and have never regretted doing this. This marvelous technology helps our clients cut project budgets and timelines dramatically – we just build both iOS and Android apps at the same time, without huge additional efforts.
The React Native framework has become very popular in recent years and the industry considers it the top choice for cross-platform mobile app development.

React Native App Development Services We Provide

React Native Consulting

Before any code gets written, we audit whether React Native fits the brief at all: team skill set, target platforms, native module needs, and budget. This consulting step is where most vendor mismatches get caught early.

MVP and full-cycle app development

From a validated idea to an App Store/Play Store submission, covering UI/UX, backend (usually Node.js or NestJS), and QA on real devices, not just simulators.

Cross-platform migration

For teams with an existing native iOS or Android app who want to add the second platform without doubling the engineering team, we migrate or extend into a shared React Native codebase.

Native module and third-party API integration

Payments (Stripe), video (Vimeo), chat (Pusher), auth (Auth0): these integrate into React Native the same way they do in a native build, through native modules or well-maintained JS bridges.

Ongoing support and app maintenance

Post-launch, apps need dependency updates, OS-version compatibility patches (iOS and Android both ship 1–2 major updates a year), and feature iteration based on real usage data.

Why us

Purrweb, a React Native development company, has a full-cycle team of developers, UI/UX designers, project managers, and QA specialists. Our team can complete the development of a React Native application from the ground up, including UI/UX, API and the mobile Frontend development services — the whole number of app development services needed for the mobile app release in App Store and Google Play.
We are leaders in cross-platform mobile development with React Native. With a great portfolio of React Native iOS and Android apps, our team has substantial experience that helps us deliver quality products fast.

Why choose React Native

Reusability

React Native uses components as its key building blocks. A component is a piece of code that signifies some element of an app — for instance, an image, text, button, or view. Thanks to reusability, you can write a component once and reuse it throughout the entire codebase as many times as you like. This feature makes the React Native app development workflow easier and React Native projects launch faster, all the while opening huge possibilities for creating complex functions and UI patterns.

Flexibility

React Native’s component-based architecture makes it easier for developers to build scalable apps. For example, there are concepts like properties and states — with their help, you can manage data and control the behavior of components in a straightforward and time-effective way. This framework also comes with a unique virtual DOM (Document Object Model) that updates only the necessary parts of the application and offers optimized performance.

Efficiency

When we say ‘React’, we don’t just mean React Native or ReactJS. We also mean an extensive ecosystem with a huge array of libraries, tools, and community resources, that are readily available to any developer. During React Native app development, you can often leverage existing solutions and thus accelerate the process. Additionally, when using this technology stack, you always have the opportunity to lean on a large community of React Native specialists and extensive documentation.

Ease of use

In addition to all the advantages we’ve already mentioned, React Native is also a very approachable framework. Simple API, declarative syntax, and ample community resources ensure that React Native specialists can quickly find answers and solutions to challenges they might encounter during React Native mobile application development.

Cross-platform design

Remember what we said about reusability? This principle goes way beyond components. With React Native, you can actually write code once and deploy it across both iOS and Android simultaneously. It reduces React Native app development costs and enables developers to deliver a unified user experience across multiple platforms using just a single codebase. If the product also needs a TV experience, we can plan Smart TV app development alongside the mobile app.

When React Native Is the Right Call vs. Native or Flutter

React Native is the right call when a team needs to ship to iOS and Android from one codebase, on a JavaScript/TypeScript stack, without rewriting UI logic twice. It's not automatically better than native Swift/Kotlin or Flutter. The decision depends on team hiring pool, app complexity, and how much the UI depends on platform-specific components.
Founders comparing react native vs flutter want a decision matrix, not a hype pitch. Here's ours, based on projects we've actually delivered on both:
Hiring pool. React Native draws on a large pool — JS/TS developers are the most common skill set globally. Flutter's pool is smaller, since Dart is niche. Native splits into two separate hiring pools, doubling headcount need.
Code reuse iOS/Android. React Native shares the large majority of UI code between platforms; Flutter shares similarly high amounts via Dart. Native has 0% reuse — fully separate codebases.
Native module access. React Native reaches native APIs directly, via native modules/bridges. Flutter goes through platform channels. Native is native by definition.
Best fit. React Native suits content-heavy apps, MVPs, and teams with a JS backend already. Flutter suits pixel-perfect custom UI and animation-heavy apps. Native suits apps needing deep OS integration (ARKit, background processing limits).
Purrweb's take. React Native is our default choice for MVPs and most B2B/B2C apps. We reach for Flutter when a client's team already knows Dart or wants Flutter's rendering engine, and reserve native for AR/camera-heavy or OS-level integrations.
Purrweb builds in both React Native and Flutter. The framework choice depends on the client's brief, not on which one we'd rather sell. Teams with an existing Node.js backend and JS-fluent engineers on staff tend to default to React Native; teams chasing a specific animation-heavy design spec sometimes land on Flutter instead.
The benefits of using React Native for mobile app development come down to three things in practice: one hiring pool instead of two, one QA cycle covering both platforms, and a faster path from MVP to app store than most native-only teams can match on the same budget. Most react native app development companies pitch this as a universal win. In reality it holds for content- and workflow-heavy apps, and holds less for apps built around heavy native rendering or AR.

Real Cost Breakdown by App Complexity

React Native app development cost depends primarily on feature count and backend complexity, not on the mobile framework itself. React Native and Flutter builds land in roughly the same cost band for equivalent scope. Most vendor pages quote a flat "$25k–$150k" range with no context; here's what we can say from delivered projects instead.
A simple MVP (one core user flow, no complex backend, similar in scope to Purrweb's Settler renovation-tracking app) runs on the lower end of a typical agency quote. A mid-complexity app with real-time features (chat, live streaming, or payments), similar to Fitness App's trainer-client messaging and Stripe integration, adds meaningful backend and QA time on top of the base build. A fintech-grade build with regulatory constraints and third-party banking API integration (the KEM pattern) carries the highest cost, mostly driven by compliance and API-access negotiation rather than the mobile UI layer itself.
Development time is what drives most budget overruns. Three cost drivers matter more than any framework choice:
Number of user roles. Settler needed separate flows for renters and interior designers, plus a web admin panel: three surfaces from one MVP budget.
Real-time features. Each real-time integration (video, chat, live payments) is typically quoted and built as its own line item, since each one adds its own backend and QA surface on top of the core app. Fitness App's chat and payments layer is a case in point: Vimeo, Pusher, and Stripe each needed separate integration work beyond the base client-facing build.
Regulatory or banking API access. KEM's biggest cost and timeline risk wasn't the React Native front end. Kuwaiti banks required the entire technical team to be physically located in Kuwait before granting production API access, which forced a full handover to an in-house team after the MVP stage.
Ongoing costs after launch typically cover: OS compatibility maintenance (both Apple and Google enforce SDK-version deprecation cycles), bug fixes from real usage, and incremental features. Budget roughly 15–20% of the original build cost per year for a moderately active app. This is an industry-standard maintenance ratio, not a purrweb-specific number, so confirm it against your own app's usage volume before committing.

Timeline and Sprint Structure, From Discovery to App Store Submission

A React Native MVP typically runs multiple two-week sprints from discovery to store submission, commonly in the 10–14 sprint range for mid-complexity scope. The typical breakdown:
1. Discovery and scope-cutting (1–2 sprints). This is where a client's full feature wishlist gets prioritized down to an MVP. On Settler, the client arrived with four planned surfaces (user app, designer app, admin panel, and landing page), and the discovery phase cut that down to a shippable scope against a hard deadline.
2. UI/UX design (1–2 sprints, often parallel to backend setup). Typeface, color, and core flows get locked here. Settler's team chose a free, readable typeface specifically to protect budget without losing design quality.
3. Core build (5–8 sprints). Mobile app, backend, and any native module integrations happen in parallel demo cycles. Fitness App's team showed a working slice of functionality at every client demo rather than waiting for a single big reveal.
4. QA and store submission (1–2 sprints). Device testing, App Store/Play Store review prep, and submission. Store review itself typically adds 1–7 days outside the team's direct control.
Sprint count moves up when a project adds real-time features mid-build, or when third-party API access requires external approval, as with KEM's banking integration.

Industries This Fits Best

React Native fits any industry that needs a fast, cross-platform MVP before committing to a larger native build. Fintech, proptech, fitness/wellness, and marketplace apps are the most common fits among Purrweb's delivered projects. Fintech apps (like KEM) benefit from rapid iteration on UX before regulatory API access is even granted. Proptech and service-marketplace apps (like Settler) benefit from one team building user-facing, provider-facing, and admin surfaces from a shared codebase. Fitness and wellness apps (like Fitness App) benefit from React Native's mature ecosystem of chat, video, and payment integrations, which cover most of what a subscription-based coaching product needs out of the box.
Industries where native-first is usually the better starting point: apps built primarily around AR/camera pipelines, or apps with hard real-time performance constraints (competitive gaming, professional audio/video editing) where every millisecond of bridge overhead matters.

How to Choose a React Native Development Company

Choosing a React Native development company comes down to three checks: proof of delivered React Native apps (not just a technology list), a clear cost breakdown by feature rather than a flat range, and a defined handover process if the project needs to move to an in-house team later.
Ask for case studies with outcomes, not just screenshots. A vendor that only shows UI mockups hasn't proven it can ship. Ask specifically what shipped, in what timeframe, and what happened after launch — KEM's $1M seed round is the kind of outcome data worth asking for.
Ask how they price real-time features separately. Chat, video, and payments integrations are usually the biggest cost swings in a React Native build. A vendor that bundles everything into one flat number either hasn't scoped the work carefully or is padding the estimate.
Ask about their handover process. Some projects, especially regulated ones like KEM's banking integration, require moving to an in-house team partway through. A vendor with a documented handover process (code, access, a transition period for questions) reduces the risk of losing momentum mid-project.
Check whether they build in both React Native and Flutter. A vendor that only offers one cross-platform framework has an incentive to recommend it regardless of fit. Purrweb builds in both and picks based on the brief.
Among the top React Native development companies serving US and EU clients, the ones worth shortlisting are the ones who can show react native experts on staff, not just a sales team fluent in the framework's marketing language. Ask to meet the actual engineers who'd work on your build before signing.

What Working With Purrweb on React Native Actually Looks Like

Purrweb has delivered React Native apps across fintech, proptech, and fitness, with real outcomes attached to each: KEM's client raised $1 million in seed funding after a bank-facing MVP; Settler shipped against a hard New Year deadline by cutting scope and finding cheaper paths on the rest; Fitness App integrated video, chat, and payments into one client-facing build without a redesign detour.
If you're evaluating a mobile app development company for a React Native build, start with a scoped discovery call rather than a generic quote request. Most of the cost and timeline risk in these projects comes from feature prioritization and API-access constraints, not from the mobile framework itself. Teams still deciding between React Native and Flutter can also look at our cross-platform app development page for the same decision framework applied more broadly across both frameworks.
Request a quote, and we'll scope your app against real sprint and cost data — not a generic range.

FAQ

What are the benefits of using React Native?

React Native allows developers to share up to 70% of the codebase and develop apps for two platforms, iOS and Android, simultaneously. For the business, this means paying less to get the product working on both mobile platforms that the majority uses.

How much does it cost to hire a React Native developer?

The prices vary greatly depending on the developers' location and expertise. Our React Native app development company asks for $25-49 per hour. To get detailed information, we recommend first discussing the project with us.

How long does it take to develop a React Native app?

A simple MVP typically ships in about 3–4 months. A mid-complexity build runs roughly 5–7 months (10–14 two-week sprints from discovery to store submission), and a complex app with advanced features takes 6+ months. Discovery done upfront keeps these on track. Contact us and get a free estimate in 48 hours.

What technologies do you use to build a React Native app?

The key technology is React Native itself, but it doesn't end there. To get a functioning app, our developers also need to know native programming languages like Swift for iOS and Kotlin for Android. This will help overcome compatibility challenges that appear in the React Native app development.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse varius enim in eros elementum tristique. Duis cursus, mi quis viverra ornare, eros dolor interdum nulla, ut commodo diam libero vitae erat. Aenean faucibus nibh et justo cursus id rutrum lorem imperdiet. Nunc ut sem vitae risus tristique posuere.

React Native game development is another powerful use case — React Native's cross-platform capabilities make it an excellent choice for building mobile games that run natively on both iOS and Android.

How does React Native cater to iOS and Android differences?

The design and user interface elements differ between iOS and Android. iOS apps tend to have a more minimalistic design, while Android apps can be more diverse. The React Native framework offers differing libraries with widgets, button styles, icon designs, and navigation schemes to be used for different platforms. To add certain features or functions that are unique to each OS, developers can add platform-specific code when using React Native.

React Native vs. native development: which to choose?

React Native development services are cheaper than native development because you need to hire only React Native app developers, not two separate teams. Also, React Native projects are released faster due to code reuse, so the framework is great for building MVPs. Still, native development generally provides better performance optimization for each specific platform compared to the cross-platform approach.
