A mobile stack built for ROI

We build in React Native — the same technology powering Discord, Shopify, Walmart, Bloomberg and Facebook. Why?

  • One codebase, two apps — iOS and Android share most of the codebase
  • Native performance — not a "disguised WebView", the UI compiles to native components
  • Mature ecosystem — Expo, Firebase, RevenueCat, Mapbox, OneSignal, all integrable
  • Real savings — vs native Swift + Kotlin, one build instead of two, so a markedly lower budget

For cases with strong native needs (AR, games, wearables), we can switch to native Swift/Kotlin — rare.

From MVP to scale-up — public pricing

Unlike agencies that hide their prices, we publish ranges:

  • MVP (40-70K MAD) — auth, 3-5 screens, one core use case, lightweight Laravel backend, store deployment
  • Mid app (70-150K MAD) — integrated payment, push notifications, dedicated backend, 10-20 screens, full UX/UI design
  • Complex app (150K+ MAD) — real-time chat, geolocation, B2B multi-role, heavy third-party integrations

Firm quote within 48h after a free 2h scoping session. No hidden costs. For apps backed by an existing e-commerce, we share back-end APIs.

From the store to real users

Shipping an app to the store isn't enough. We include:

  • ASO (App Store Optimization) — keyword selection, optimised screenshots, conversion-oriented description (our SEO team handles ASO too)
  • User onboarding — first-run UX, in-app tutorials, push notification capture
  • Analytics & crash reporting — Firebase, Mixpanel or Amplitude depending on need
  • Maintenance and evolution — package from 150 €/month for long-term stability

Goal: Day-7 retention > 30%, store rating > 4.0/5, crash-free rate > 99.5%.

Frequently asked questions

React Native or native (Swift / Kotlin)?
For most projects: React Native. One team, one codebase, two apps (iOS + Android), a lower budget than native, near-native performance on standard UX. Native stays relevant for highly graphic apps (games, AR/VR), wearables, or deep system integrations (background tracking, etc.).
How much does a mobile app cost in Morocco?
Simple MVP (3-5 screens, auth, one core use case): 40,000 to 70,000 MAD. Mid app (payment, notifications, dedicated backend, 10-20 screens): 70,000 to 150,000 MAD. Complex app (chat, real-time geolocation, B2B multi-role): 150,000 MAD and up. Firm quote after a free 2h scoping. The per-tier breakdown is in our guide how much a mobile app costs in Morocco.
How long to deliver an app?
MVP: 8 to 12 weeks (1-week scoping, 2-week design, 5-7-week dev, 1-2-week tests + store deployment). Mid app: 4 to 6 months. Complex app: 6 to 12 months in iterative sprints with monthly releases.
Do you handle App Store and Google Play deployment?
We support developer-account preparation, listings, screenshots and submissions. Platform fees remain separate from development. Approval depends on store rules and review; we follow up on requested changes during publication.
Backend, payment, notifications — is everything included?
Depends on scope. Laravel or Node.js backend included in MVPs with users/data. Stripe, CMI or PayZone payment integrable. Firebase or OneSignal push notifications. Geolocation, real-time chat, social sharing: modules available. Everything is scoped and quoted.
What about maintenance after release?
Maintenance package from 150 €/month: crash monitoring (Sentry, Firebase Crashlytics), annual iOS/Android updates, bug fixes, performance optimisations, small feature additions. Beyond that, time-and-materials mode for major evolutions.
