Mobile App Development in Pune
We've shipped React Native shopping apps tied to the same backend as the website, not a bolted-on app built by a separate vendor months later.
What you actually get
One backend, web and app both
Your app reads from the same APIs as your website, so a price or inventory change shows up everywhere at once, not just on the platform someone remembered to update while the other one quietly goes stale. We've shipped this exact setup for a travel brand's shopping app, tied to the same backend as their website rather than built as a separate system months later by a different vendor. The alternative — a bolted-on app with its own disconnected data — is how businesses end up with a website showing one price and an app showing another, which is the kind of inconsistency that erodes trust fast.
App store submissions that don't stall on review
We've cleared App Store and Play Store review before, which means building with each platform's requirements in mind from the start — privacy disclosures, permission scoping, the specific UI patterns each store expects — instead of treating review as a hurdle to patch after a rejection resets the clock. Fewer rejected builds means fewer surprise resubmissions eating into your launch week, which matters most when a launch date is already tied to marketing spend or a press date that can't easily move. Getting review right the first time is largely about knowing the common rejection reasons before they happen, not reacting to them.
Push and notifications that don't get switched off
Notification flows get scoped to what a user actually wants to hear about, so your opt-out rate doesn't quietly climb every release as users get tired of being pinged for things they don't care about. We think about notification frequency and relevance as a design decision, not just a technical feature to switch on — a cart reminder is useful, a daily generic promo push usually isn't, and users make that distinction by disabling notifications entirely once they've had enough. Getting this balance right early protects a channel that's expensive to win back once a user has turned it off.
A team that maintains what it ships
The engineers who build v1 stay on for the OS updates and bug fixes after, so there's no handoff to a maintenance contract with people who've never opened the codebase and have to relearn every decision before they can safely touch it. Mobile apps carry an ongoing burden that websites mostly don't — iOS and Android both push OS updates that can break existing functionality without warning, and someone needs to be watching for that. Keeping the original team on means those updates get caught and fixed by people who already understand why the code works the way it does.

What a Mobile App Actually Costs to Build and Maintain
Public app-development pricing guides put a simple app with a handful of screens and one backend integration roughly in the ₹3,00,000–₹8,00,000 range in India, climbing well past that for a complex app with custom backend work, payments and heavy platform-specific functionality. React Native, building both platforms from one codebase, generally costs less than separate native iOS and Android builds for comparable scope.
The number most first-time app owners underestimate isn't the build cost — it's the maintenance cost after launch. Both app stores push OS updates on their own schedule that can break existing functionality without warning, and someone has to be watching for that continuously, not just during the initial build. A cheap build with no maintenance plan behind it tends to become an expensive problem the first time an OS update breaks something in production.
These are general market figures aggregated from public app-development pricing guides, not a Webcomp quote — we scope a build against your actual screen count, backend integrations and platform requirements, agreed in writing before development starts.
FAQ
Questions before you get started.
React Native, for most projects — it lets us ship iOS and Android from one codebase tied to the same backend as your website, which keeps data consistent across platforms. If a project genuinely needs native-only capabilities, we'll say so upfront rather than force-fitting React Native where it doesn't belong.
It varies by platform and how clean the submission is — we've cleared both App Store and Play Store review before, which helps avoid the rejections that reset the clock. We'll give you a realistic estimate once we know what the app does.
The same team that built the app handles the fix, since we stay on for maintenance rather than handing off to a separate support contract. OS updates are a normal part of app maintenance, not an emergency each time one lands.
Yes, and we'd recommend it — reading from the same APIs means pricing and inventory stay consistent between web and app instead of drifting apart. We've built this exact setup before for a client's shopping app and site.
Since React Native ships both from one codebase, there's rarely a cost reason to launch just one. The exception is if your actual user base is heavily skewed to one platform — we'll ask about that during scoping rather than assume both are needed.
It depends heavily on how many screens, backend integrations and platform-specific features are involved — a simple app tied to an existing backend costs meaningfully less than one built from zero with new APIs. We scope against your actual feature list rather than a flat number, and tell you honestly if the scope should be trimmed for a first version.
