Mobile app development for iOS, Android and the web

The right kind of app, for the right price.

Short answer

Ceylond builds mobile apps with Flutter, React Native and progressive web app technology for small businesses and startups. We start by checking whether you need a native app at all, since an installable web app is often faster and cheaper. Installable web apps start from A$5,500£2,900US$3,800AED 14,000LKR 500,000, and iOS and Android apps from A$14,000£7,500US$9,800AED 36,000LKR 1,400,000.

Who it is for

Sound familiar?

If any of these ring true, this service was built for you.
  • 01

    You have an app idea and quotes ranging from A$5,000 to A$150,000.

  • 02

    You are not sure whether you need a native app or a web app.

  • 03

    Your current app has not been updated since the developer left.

  • 04

    You need iOS and Android but can only afford one build.

  • Cross-platform apps

    One Flutter or React Native codebase for iOS and Android.

  • Backend and admin

    Login, data, payments and an admin panel your team can use.

  • Store submission

    App Store and Google Play listings, testing and submission handled for you.

  • Design

    Screens designed in Figma first, following iOS and Android patterns.

  • App care

    OS and SDK updates, store policy changes and crash monitoring after launch.

01 / Mobile app development

PWA, cross-platform or native: which do you need?

A progressive web app (PWA) installs from the browser, works on any device and updates instantly, with no store fees. Choose a store app when you need deep device features, App Store discovery or the most reliable push notifications on iPhone. Many businesses should start with a PWA.

For store apps we build one codebase for iOS and Android with Flutter or React Native. React Native suits teams already using JavaScript or TypeScript; Flutter gives very consistent visuals across devices.

02 / Mobile app development

App Store and Google Play: timelines and fees

Apple’s developer programme costs US$99 a year, and Google Play charges a one-off US$25. New personal Google Play accounts must run a closed test with at least 12 testers for 14 days before launch, and Apple reviews every submission. We build these steps into the timeline from day one.

03 / Mobile app development

Start with a paid pilot

Our team builds web apps and our own POS system every day; we have not yet published a native app under the Ceylond name, so we say so plainly. That is why new app projects start with a paid discovery sprint and a fixed-scope first release, so you see working software before committing to the full build.

Packages and pricing

App development packages and prices

Fixed-scope packages after a paid discovery sprint, credited against the build. Store fees and hosting are paid by you directly.

How much does it cost to build an app?

For agencies

White label app development for agencies

Agencies bring us app builds for their clients and we deliver them under the agency’s brand. Delivered under your agency’s brand, with an NDA, a written promise that we never approach your clients, and the work owned by you once it is paid. See the white-label page for the rate card.

Questions

Your questions, answered.

Flutter or React Native?

Both build iOS and Android apps from one codebase. React Native suits teams already using JavaScript or TypeScript and sharing code with a web app. Flutter gives very consistent visuals across devices. We pick based on your existing systems and who will maintain the app later.

PWA or native app?

A PWA installs from the browser, works on any device and updates instantly, with no store fees. Choose a native app when you need deep device features, App Store discovery or the most reliable push notifications on iPhone. Many businesses should start with a PWA.

How long does it take to publish an app?

Plan for store review after the build. Google requires new personal developer accounts to run a closed test with at least 12 testers for 14 days before launch, and Apple reviews each submission. We build these steps into the timeline from the start.

What are the ongoing costs of an app?

Apple’s developer programme costs US$99 a year and Google Play charges a one-off US$25. Add backend hosting, often US$5 to 50 a month at small scale, and updates for new OS versions. Our app care plan covers updates from A$290£150US$200AED 750LKR 30,000 a month.

Have you built native apps before?

Our team builds web apps, Shopify themes and our own POS system, and has handled Google Play listings and app store optimisation for EPSpeak. We have not yet published a native app under the Ceylond name, which is why we start new app projects with a paid, fixed-scope pilot.
