From idea to the App Store and Google Play

Build
Native Swift and Kotlin when performance matters, or React Native and Flutter for one codebase on both platforms.
Back end
Accounts, sync, payments, notifications and admin tools: the parts behind the screens that make an app work.
Launch and support
App store releases, monitoring, and updates for every new iOS and Android version.
Who we work with
- 01
Startups launching an MVP
Founders who need a focused first version on one codebase, fast enough to test with real users.
- 02
Companies with field teams
Businesses whose staff work on site and need jobs, forms, photos and schedules on their phones.
- 03
Consumer apps that need to scale
Apps with real-time content, offline mode and growing audiences that need infrastructure to match.
Mobile app development services
- 01
Product discovery and prototyping
We define the core features, user flows and platforms, then test a clickable prototype before writing code.
- 02
Native iOS and Android
Swift and SwiftUI for iOS, Kotlin for Android, when an app depends on speed, device features or a premium feel.
- 03
Cross-platform apps
React Native or Flutter for one codebase on both platforms, which usually lowers the build cost and every future change.
- 04
Back ends and APIs
Secure APIs, databases, real-time sync, payments and admin panels, hosted in Canada when you need it.
- 05
App Store and Google Play launch
Store listings in French and English, privacy details, TestFlight and staged rollouts, and handling review feedback.
- 06
Maintenance and updates
Bug fixes, OS updates, performance work and new features after launch, on a plan that fits your roadmap.
Built for apps in Québec and Canada
Apps for Québec and Canadian users have a few requirements worth planning from day one.
- 01
French and English from day one
Commercial content for Québec customers generally needs to be in French under the Charter of the French language. Building bilingual from the start costs less than translating later.
- 02
Law 25 inside the app
Consent flows, a privacy policy, data retention rules and an assessment before personal information leaves Québec.
- 03
Data hosted in Canada
Back ends in Canadian cloud regions, including AWS and Google Cloud in Montréal, when your clients require data residency.
- 04
SR&ED for app R&D
Apps that resolve real technological uncertainty may qualify for SR&ED tax credits. We keep the records that support a claim.

Frequently asked questions
- Do you develop mobile apps for Montréal businesses?
- Yes. We're a Montréal team building native iOS and Android apps and cross-platform apps for businesses in Montréal, across Québec and Canada, and in the United States.
- Native or cross-platform: which should we choose?
- Cross-platform (React Native or Flutter) suits most business apps and lowers cost. Native (Swift, Kotlin) is worth it when the app depends on performance, advanced device features or a premium platform-specific experience.
- How much does it cost to build an app in Montréal?
- A mobile MVP often takes 400–800 hours and a mid-complexity iOS and Android app 700–1,800 hours, at our published rate of $50–$99 USD per hour.
- Can our app be in French and English?
- Yes. We build bilingual apps and store listings from the start, which is expected for Québec users and cheaper than adding French later.
- Do you publish the app to the App Store and Google Play?
- Yes. We prepare the store listings, privacy details and release builds, handle review feedback, and keep the listings in your accounts.
- Who owns the app and the code?
- You do. The code, designs, cloud accounts and store listings are in your name, so you can keep building with any team.
