iOS & Android

Mobile apps, scoped honestly

InceptiCode builds iOS and Android apps for Toronto and GTA businesses that genuinely need one — and gives you a straight answer when a mobile website would serve you better for a fraction of the cost.

A couple of sentences is plenty. What you do, and what you want the site to do for you.

Approximate budget optional

Only if you have one in mind. It helps us scope realistically rather than guessing.

Real projects

How we build for mobile

Every project below was designed mobile-first and tested on real devices. Open them on your phone — that is where most of their traffic arrives.

Pricing

How app projects are priced

We do not publish a starting price for apps, because a one-platform first release and a two-platform app with accounts, payments and a backend are not comparable projects. We scope it, then fix the price.

Mobile Applications

iOS and Android apps, from a first release to an established product.

Scoped per project

What the starting package covers

  • Product definition and a scoped first release
  • UI/UX design for iOS and Android conventions
  • Native or cross-platform build, chosen for the product and not for fashion
  • Backend API and admin where the app needs one
  • App Store and Google Play submission, including store assets
  • Post-launch support and release management

What moves the price

  • One platform or both
  • Offline behaviour, payments, maps, push, background work
  • Whether a backend already exists or has to be built
  • App Store and Google Play review requirements for your category

What's included

What an app project covers

  • Product definition — what the app is for, who uses it, and what the first release must contain
  • A scoped first release with a fixed price agreed before development starts
  • UI/UX design following iOS and Android conventions rather than one design forced onto both
  • Native or cross-platform build, chosen for the product
  • Backend API and admin interface where the app needs one
  • User accounts, authentication and role-based permissions
  • Push notifications where they serve a genuine purpose
  • Payments and in-app purchase setup where required, including store-policy compliance
  • Offline behaviour and sync for apps used away from reliable connectivity
  • Testing on real devices, not just simulators
  • App Store and Google Play submission: listings, screenshots, descriptions, privacy declarations
  • Developer accounts registered in your business name, with the credentials handed to you
  • Post-launch release management and support

Apple charges an annual Developer Program fee and Google charges a one-time registration fee. Both are paid by you, in your business name. Ongoing maintenance to keep pace with OS and store policy changes is quoted separately — and we will be explicit about it before you start.

How it works

Six steps, and you know the price before step three.

No discovery invoices, no scope creep, no surprise change orders halfway through.

  1. Tell us about the business

    A short call or a form. What you do, who buys from you, what you want the website to bring in. No technical questions.

  2. Strategy and scope

    InceptiCode comes back with a page-by-page plan and a fixed price. You approve it before anything is designed or built.

  3. Design

    The key pages are designed properly, with your content in them rather than a wireframe. Two rounds of revisions are built into the price.

  4. Development

    The approved design gets built — responsive, fast, with forms and tracking wired up as part of the work.

  5. Review

    A staging link goes to you, and you go through it properly. Content, links, forms, phone numbers. Anything wrong gets fixed before launch.

  6. Launch

    InceptiCode handles DNS, hosting and the cutover, submits the sitemap to Google, and confirms tracking is recording. Then we stay reachable.

Why InceptiCode

How we approach apps

We will talk you out of it when we should

The most useful thing we can do on a first call is establish whether an app is genuinely the right answer. Often a mobile-first website does the job for a fraction of the money and with nothing to install.

A scoped first release, not a wish list

Apps fail by trying to ship everything at once. We define the smallest version that is genuinely useful, get it in front of real users, and build the rest based on what they actually do.

Store requirements planned for, not discovered

Account deletion, privacy declarations, permission justifications, target SDK levels. These reject apps at review. We handle them during the build.

The backend is part of the plan

Most business apps need somewhere to store data and an admin interface for staff. We treat that as part of the project rather than a surprise phase after the app is "finished".

The accounts are yours

Developer accounts registered in your business name from day one. Moving a published app between developer accounts later is painful and sometimes impossible.

Honest about the ongoing cost

Developer account fees, maintenance, OS updates and store policy changes are real recurring commitments. You will hear about them before you commit, not eighteen months in.

FAQ

App questions worth settling first

Do we actually need an app?

Often not, and we will tell you. An app makes sense when people use it repeatedly, when you need push notifications, or when it has to work offline or use the device — camera, GPS, Bluetooth. If customers would use it once, a good mobile website is cheaper, faster to build, and does not require anyone to install anything.

Native or cross-platform?

Cross-platform covers both iOS and Android from one codebase and is the right answer for most business apps. Native is worth it when the app leans heavily on device features, needs the last few percent of performance, or has to match platform conventions exactly. We choose based on what the app does, not on what is fashionable.

What does an app cost?

More than a website, and it varies too much to publish a starting price honestly. A tightly scoped first release for one platform is a very different project from a two-platform app with accounts, payments, push and a backend. We scope it and give you a fixed price before development starts.

Do you handle App Store and Google Play submission?

Yes — store listings, screenshots, descriptions, privacy declarations, and the submission itself. Both stores have review requirements that reject apps for reasons that surprise first-time publishers, so we plan for them during the build rather than discovering them at submission.

Who owns the app and the developer accounts?

You do. The Apple Developer and Google Play accounts are registered in your business name, and the source code is yours. This matters enormously: an app published under someone else's developer account is very difficult to move later.

What happens after launch?

Apps need maintenance in a way websites do not — iOS and Android release yearly, and both stores periodically raise their minimum requirements. An app left untouched for two years typically stops being installable. We will be clear about that ongoing commitment before you start, not after.

How long does a website take?

A straightforward business website is usually three to five weeks from approved scope to launch. Larger sites and online stores typically run six to ten weeks. The single biggest factor is how quickly content and feedback come back from your side — we will tell you the honest timeline for your project before you commit, not an optimistic one.

Start with the problem, not the app.

Tell us what people would use it for and how often. If an app is the right answer we will scope it. If it is not, we will say so and tell you what is.

  • Tell us who uses it and how often — that decides whether an app is justified at all.
  • Mention whether you need one platform or both.
  • We normally reply within one business day.
