Some products genuinely need native: deep camera control, background processing, widgets, watch apps, or the last word in performance. We build native iOS in Swift and Android in Kotlin when the product justifies it — and say so when it doesn't.
Cross-platform covers most MVPs; these are the exceptions where native earns its budget.
Two native apps are effectively two products: roughly double the build and maintenance of cross-platform. That's why we default to React Native or Flutter unless the product's core depends on native capability — and quote dual-native builds custom.
Often the answer is hybrid: a cross-platform app with one native module where it counts. You get native capability where the product needs it without doubling the codebase.
Our process
We clarify the buyer, the core workflow, and platform requirements before any design or code begins.
High-fidelity screens and flows for the core journey, optimised for the way people actually use the product.
Implementation with clean architecture, tested as we go and wired to a real backend and staging environment.
We deploy, set up analytics, review the first real usage, and plan the next cycle with you.
Technical expertise
Modern iOS with SwiftUI-first interfaces and async/await architecture.
Contemporary Android with Compose UI and coroutines.
HealthKit, ARKit, CoreML, widgets, watchOS; WorkManager and CameraX on Android.
Swift/Kotlin modules embedded in React Native or Flutter apps.
Review guidelines, entitlements, and release management on both stores.
Practical answers
Cross-platform unless the core product depends on deep platform features. If your differentiator lives in the camera, sensors, or background processing — native, possibly just for that module.
Single-platform native MVPs start around €7,000; dual native (Swift + Kotlin) is quoted custom because it's two builds. Hybrid approaches often hit the budget sweet spot.
Whichever your ICP carries. EU consumer products often need both — which is itself an argument for cross-platform first.
Yes — that's a common engagement: the app stays cross-platform, the one capability that needs native gets it.
Yes — the 30-day post-launch window applies, and we can continue with feature sprints or hand off a documented codebase.
