What is the pricing model?

At Purrweb, we work based on the Time and Material pricing model. Our project managers carefully plan each sprint by setting up tasks and man-hours needed to finish a product. As soon as we receive an advance payment, we commence working on the product. Thanks to the Time and Material approach, it’s possible to supplement additional sprints if you want to scale up functionality or change the design.

How do you develop a startup MVP?

If you need to validate your business hypothesis fast, we will deliver an MVP in just 3 months. We use the time to research a market, determine user needs, define development roadmap, and build a solution.

Can I get post-launch maintenance?

In order to keep your entire software running smoothly and efficiently, we can provide cohesive post-launch maintenance as part of our mobile app development services. Once your product is released, our project managers will reserve work hours of a developer from the original team. Depending on needs, it may be 20 or 40 hours per month. These hours will be spent on supervising the code, keeping up with further updates and requirements from Apple and Google, and fixing bugs that may pop up occasionally.

What is a cross-platform mobile app?

Cross-platform development is the creation of apps for both iOS and Android with a single code base. For this purpose, we mastered React Native development. There is also hybrid mobile app development, which also involves using one code base and combines web and native functionality.

Can I be sure there won’t be problems with releasing the product in the App Store and Google Play?

The Purrweb team has considerable experience in publishing a product on the App Store and Google Play. Thanks to following the Apple and Google guidelines, we know how to get a product submitted fast and flawlessly.

How much does it cost to build a mobile app?

If you want to get an exact evaluation for all features and UI/UX design, feel free to contact us. Our managers will establish a project scope, prepare a strategic outline, and deliver precise estimation.

Do you use any specific methodologies to deliver a product?

We use the Scrumban approach — a combination of the most popular Agile frameworks. It helps to deliver the product in time and be flexible if any changes appear down the road.

What is a custom mobile app?

Custom app development is creating a mobile app from scratch with unique functionality as well as UI/UX design. It’s included in our application development services.

Can I ask Purrweb to deliver a cross-platform mobile app, if I have a working web app?

Yes! If you already have a web app and API, we will connect to the existing database and develop a mobile app that will be synchronized with your web version. Hybrid mobile app development is also an option — in some cases, it can even be more cost-effective compared to cross-platform development.

The team line-up may change depending on the needs of a product, yet usually it consists of: a project manager, UI/UX designer, 2–3 developers, and QA specialist.

Mobile app development process

This is our standard process for developing mobile, web and desktop applications. Of course, when it comes to web and desktop apps, we don't publish anything to the App Store or Google Play.

We gather analytics and dive into the context by performing market research and analyzing competitors. We create user scenarios and estimate the scope of work based on the client's wishes and requirements. This allows us to anticipate all possible difficulties and changes.

We start by working out the app's internal logic — creating a mind map. Then we translate it into black-and-white wireframes. When the app logic is agreed upon, we create 1–2 screens from the main user scenario to determine the core style of the app. Then we work out all the details, finalize the mobile app design, and create a UI kit for quick and convenient mobile application development.

We divide the entire mobile app development process into 2-week sprints. This allows the client to control the development progress and quickly implement changes. Trial releases are made in TestFlight and Google Play beta testing to show how the application works on real devices.

To ensure that mobile apps work smoothly and bugs don’t creep into the final product, we test each project both manually and using automated tests.

We know the ins and outs of publishing to the App Store and Google Play and always bring releases to completion. Our mobile app development services also include supporting and improving products after release by adding new features and fixing bugs.
