Native Mobile Apps

Native iOS and Android app development.

Native development fits products where platform behavior is part of the product: capture workflows, AR, heavy media, hardware access, background work, or performance-sensitive interactions.

When native development makes sense

Native is the better choice when the app needs deep access to platform capabilities or when the mobile experience carries the product advantage.

  • Camera, scanning, AR, or 3D capture workflows
  • Performance-sensitive mobile interactions
  • Advanced notifications, background tasks, or local storage
  • Platform-specific UX that cannot feel generic

Common native app risks

Native builds can drift if iOS, Android, backend, and product decisions are not coordinated tightly.

  • Duplicating logic inconsistently across platforms
  • Underestimating upload, sync, and failure states
  • Shipping app screens without operational tooling
  • Leaving release and QA workflow undefined

What we would prioritize first

We would isolate the platform-specific product value, then build the backend and operations flow that lets the app work reliably in real conditions.

  • Native proof-of-concept for the riskiest capability
  • Backend contracts and storage strategy
  • QA and operator workflows where needed
  • App release and monitoring plan

Cost and timeline for native builds

Native makes sense when the product depends on deep platform features. Expect a higher budget than cross-platform — single-platform native MVPs start around €7,000, and dual-platform native builds are quoted custom because they are effectively two products.

  • Single-platform native MVP from €7,000
  • Dual native (Swift + Kotlin) priced as a custom quote
  • Platform-specific review and release handled for you
  • We recommend cross-platform first unless native is justified

Practical answers

Questions founders ask before moving forward.

How much does it cost to work with One Peak?

MVP development starts at €7,000 for two core product features, with login, security, architecture, deployment, and 30 days of post-launch support included. UI/UX design and branding adds €2,000, and products with three or more features get a custom quote.

Who owns the code and accounts?

You do, from day one. The repository, cloud accounts, app store listings, and analytics all live under your ownership — there is no lock-in if you later hire in-house or switch teams.

What happens after launch?

Every build includes a 30-day post-launch window: we monitor errors and analytics, fix issues, and turn the first real usage into a prioritized iteration roadmap before handing over or continuing.

When should a startup avoid cross-platform?

Avoid cross-platform when the app depends on platform-specific capture, AR, heavy native APIs, or performance patterns that would become the main product risk.

Can One Peak take over an existing native app?

Yes. Scanbrix is an example of taking over a stalled mobile product, rebuilding the iOS, web, and backend workflow, and getting it to a usable release.
