Mobile App Development in Saudi Arabia

Mobile App Development in Saudi Arabia

We build the app and everything it needs to actually run: the screens, the backend behind them, the payment flow, the push notifications, the store listing, and the review submission that most projects underestimate. A build that stops at a beautiful prototype is not a product.

What you get

  • One codebase, both stores. iOS and Android from a single React Native / Expo build, so a change ships to both instead of being paid for twice.
  • A real backend. Accounts, roles, data, and an admin panel your team uses — not a demo wired to sample data.
  • Saudi payments. mada, Apple Pay, card, and instalments through Tabby and Tamara, wired to a live gateway and reconciled.
  • Arabic first. Full RTL, Arabic typography that reads properly, and an English side that does not feel like a translation.
  • Store submission. Developer accounts, signing, privacy declarations, screenshots, and the review cycle — through to approved.

How we work

We scope in a single session, agree what version one has to do, and build against that. You see a running build every week, on a device, not in a slide. Nothing is "nearly done" for a month.

Where an app is the wrong answer

Often a fast mobile website earns more than an app: nobody installs software for a purchase they make twice a year. We will tell you that before you commission an app, because a shipped product nobody downloads is a worse outcome for both of us. Apps earn their place when the customer comes back — bookings, accounts, loyalty, staff tools, anything with a login.

Work we have shipped

Booking and ordering apps, an attendance and workforce app, delivery and service products, and a jobs marketplace we own and operate ourselves. See our portfolio, or read about our wider development work.

Tell us what you want to build and we will tell you what it takes — scope, timeline and cost — before you commit to anything.

Questions clients ask before they start

How much does an app cost in Saudi Arabia?

It depends on what the app must do, not on how many screens it has. A focused first release with accounts, payments and an admin panel is a different project from a marketplace with two sides and a wallet. We scope in one session and quote a fixed number for a defined version one.

How long until it is on the App Store?

A focused first release is typically 8–14 weeks including Apple and Google review. Review itself is days, not weeks, when the privacy declarations and account requirements are prepared properly — which is where most first submissions get rejected.

Do you build for iOS and Android separately?

No. One React Native codebase ships to both stores, so you pay for a feature once. We go native only where a feature genuinely demands it.

Who owns the code?

You do, in full, in your own repository, from the first commit. We also hand over the store accounts, the signing credentials and the backend keys — a handover that leaves you dependent on the agency is not a handover.

Can you take over an app someone else started?

Yes, and we do it often. We read the codebase first and give you an honest assessment — sometimes continuing is right, sometimes rebuilding the core is cheaper than fighting it. We will say which.
