Questions
How much does it cost to build a mobile app in Pakistan?
It depends on the features, so there is no fixed price list. After a scope call we send a written quote for the agreed features before any work starts.
How long does it take to build an app?
A focused first version typically takes four to six weeks, with a first installable build in 10 to 14 days. Larger apps take longer and are planned in stages.
Can you build an app in Urdu?
Yes. GharTak, our own delivery marketplace, is built with both Urdu and English.
Do you publish the app on the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. We handle developer account setup, TestFlight, store listings and app review until the app is approved.
Do you work with clients outside Pakistan?
Yes. Work is remote, and the founder's past work includes apps used in the United Kingdom and Kenya.
