React Native app development
One codebase that ships to iOS and Android as real native apps. We have built ride-hailing, loyalty and rewards products in React Native, all in the stores and in daily use.
About two minutes. No brief needed.
- What we deliver
- iOS and Android apps, backend and store release
- Example budget
From £6,000
Up to 8 screens. One mobile platform. Add more screens and features later.
- Typical MVP timeline
6–12 weeks
Scope and launch date agreed in week one.
The starting build assumes supplied designs and a standard schedule. Design, login, integrations and additional platforms are priced as additions. Hosting, subscriptions and support are scoped separately. Adjust this example to fit your product.
What React Native is
React Native is Meta's open-source framework for building mobile apps in JavaScript and TypeScript. You write the app once and it runs on iOS and Android, rendering genuine native components rather than a web view, so it looks and feels like an app built for each platform.
Meta, Microsoft, Shopify and Discord ship React Native apps to hundreds of millions of people. It is a mature, well-supported choice, not an experiment.
Why founders choose it
Two platforms for a little more than one
In our pricing, building for both iOS and Android from one React Native codebase adds around 15% to a single-platform build rather than doubling it. Features are written once and tested once.
A build on your phone every Friday
Fast refresh and a shared codebase mean changes land quickly. From the second week you install a new build through TestFlight and Google Play internal testing every Friday.
Native performance where it matters
React Native calls native APIs directly for maps, cameras, payments and animation. Where a feature needs it, we write the platform-specific piece in Swift or Kotlin and expose it to the shared code.
Easier to maintain and to hire for
One codebase means one fix for both platforms. React and TypeScript are the most widely known skills in the industry, so your in-house team can take the code over when you want to.
How the work runs
Week one is two scoping sessions that end with a screen list, a fixed price and a launch date in writing. From week two we build in short sprints with a weekly installable build. We handle store review and release, and the repository is yours from day one.
The stack we use
TypeScript throughout, React Navigation, React Query or Redux for state, Expo where it fits, native modules where it does not. Backends in Node.js, Supabase or Firebase with Postgres, and CI that runs tests and produces signed builds on every merge.
