Affordable Development
Affordable app development without the corner-cutting.
Complete mobile apps from $500. Prototypes, fixes, and landing pages from $100. Full products with payments and admin panels under $2,000 — fixed prices, real timelines, code you own.
01 — Overview
"Affordable app development" usually means one of two scams: a $99 template with your logo on it, or a lowball quote that triples once you're committed. This page is the third option — real, honest tiers for what software actually costs when a certified senior engineer in Pakistan builds it without western agency overhead.
The affordability isn't magic. It's three structural advantages stacked: I build one Flutter codebase that runs on both iOS and Android (instead of two native apps), I use FlutterFlow — where I'm officially certified — to eliminate boilerplate, and my cost base is Sialkot, not San Francisco. Same product, roughly 3× less time and money than native development, and 5–20× less than a western agency invoice.
Every price below is a real offer, not bait. Fixed quotes against written scope, proposal within 1–2 days, weekly demo builds, and full code ownership on delivery — at every tier, including the smallest.
Honest pricing
$100–$500
Landing page, app prototype / MVP design, bug fixes, single-feature builds
$500–$1,000
Complete simple app — one core flow, clean UI, iOS + Android from one codebase
$1,000–$1,500
Standard app with backend, authentication, and a couple of integrations
$1,500–$2,000+
Full product — payments, chat, admin panel, store deployment handled
Larger platforms (marketplaces, multi-role systems, custom algorithms) scope beyond $2,000 — still a fraction of agency pricing.
02 — Why Granyyte
What your budget actually buys
No hourly billing, ever
Every project is a fixed price tied to a written scope. Hourly billing on a vague scope is a blank check — you'll never get one from me.
Cheap ≠ disposable
Even a $500 app gets clean architecture, real testing, and store-ready polish. The most expensive app is the one you have to rebuild.
One codebase, both platforms
Flutter means your budget buys iOS and Android together — not one platform now and a second invoice later.
You own everything
Source code, stores, infrastructure — handed over at every price tier. Affordability without lock-in.
03 — FAQ
Straight answers
Can I get a mobile app for $100?
Not a complete app — anyone promising that is selling a template. What $100–$400 genuinely buys with me: a clickable app prototype, an MVP design, bug fixes on an existing app, a single-feature build, or a landing page for your idea. Complete apps start around $500, and I'll tell you honestly which one you need.
Can I get a full app for $500?
Yes — a complete, store-published app with one core flow done excellently: clean UI, solid architecture, running on both iOS and Android from a single Flutter codebase. Think focused tools, content apps, booking flows, or a tight MVP. It won't have payments, chat, and an admin panel at that price — those come in higher tiers.
What does a mobile app within $1,000 look like?
A simple-to-standard app with a real backend: user accounts, cloud data via Firebase or Supabase, push notifications, and a couple of integrations. This is the sweet spot for most first versions — enough product to validate with real users, delivered in 2–4 weeks.
What can I build with $1,500 to $2,000?
A full commercial product: authentication, payments, real-time features like chat, an admin panel to run it, analytics, and App Store + Google Play deployment handled for you. This tier covers most standard business apps end to end.
Why is your development so much cheaper than agencies?
Three reasons: I'm one senior engineer in Pakistan, not an office of account managers in a western capital; one Flutter codebase covers iOS and Android instead of two native teams; and certified FlutterFlow expertise eliminates most boilerplate. The savings are structural — not corners being cut.
Are cheap apps lower quality?
Cheap templates are. Efficiently-built custom apps aren't — every tier here gets the same architecture standards, testing, and store-ready polish. My portfolio apps, live on both stores with real users, were all built at these price levels.
