Mobile apps people open every day instead of deleting after a week.

Mobile app development in Almaty: iOS and Android apps from one React Native codebase. A first version (MVP) starts from ₸950,000 (about $2,110) and takes from 10 weeks; an app for an existing service starts from ₸650,000 (about $1,440) and takes 6–9 weeks. Release to App Store and Google Play is included.

  • The mobile experience is uncomfortable

    The website technically opens on a phone, but using it is a chore.

  • You need device capabilities

    Push notifications, offline mode and background work require an app, not responsive markup.

  • Two platforms, double the cost

    Separate iOS and Android development doubles both budget and timeline.

  • The app does not retain

    Users open it once and never return, because the path to value is too long.

    Scenarios

    We identify what people do most often and build navigation around it.

  2. 02

    Design

    We design screens for mobile gestures, sizes and short sessions.

  3. 03

    Development

    We build on a shared codebase, going native where it is genuinely needed.

  4. 04

    Release

    We prepare builds and metadata and take the app through store review.

A shared cross-platform codebase is the main reason a mobile project costs less with us than a pair of separate native builds.

Mobile app development at BAGYT starts with the main scenario, not with screens: what people will do in the app most often and why they will open it again tomorrow. Navigation, design and the technical side are built around that. We are a studio in Almaty working with companies across Kazakhstan and remotely with clients abroad.

React Native: one codebase for iOS and Android

React Native lets us write the app once and release it on both platforms. That means a smaller budget and one team instead of two, and new features reach iPhone and Android users at the same time. Where the product needs device capabilities — push notifications, camera, location, offline mode, background work — we add native modules. We recommend separate native builds only when the product depends entirely on platform-specific features.

How much does a mobile app cost

What we buildPriceTimeline
First version (MVP) for iOS and Androidfrom ₸950,000 (about $2,110)from 10 weeks
App for an existing service with a backend and APIfrom ₸650,000 (about $1,440)6–9 weeks
Discovery and prototypefrom ₸190,000 (about $420)1–2 weeks
One integration: payments, CRM, delivery, messengerfrom ₸160,000 (about $360)1–2 weeks
App Store and Google Play releaseincluded1–2 weeks

Dollar figures are approximate, at about ₸450 per dollar. The price depends on the number of screens and user roles, integrations and whether you already have a backend. To keep the budget down, we help cut the first version to the main scenario and plan the rest after launch. More detail in our article on how much a mobile app costs.

App Store and Google Play release

We prepare builds, descriptions and screenshots, fill in the review details and respond to reviewer comments if there are any. Release usually takes 1–2 weeks and is included in the project. Developer accounts are registered to your company or to you, so the app, its ratings and its audience stay yours even if you change contractors.

App or website?

Not every business needs an app. If clients visit occasionally to check prices or leave an enquiry, a fast website with a good mobile version is enough, and it is easier to find in search. An app makes sense when people use it regularly, when you need push notifications or offline mode, or when your existing service needs a mobile client. If you are unsure, start with Discovery: in 1–2 weeks we map the scenarios and build a clickable prototype that shows whether an app is worth it.

Example: Fatburn Mania

Fatburn Mania is an iOS app for home workouts in the App Store. The workout of the day is ready on the home screen, each exercise is shown as an animation with a timer, and counters, challenges and Health sync give people a reason to come back. From launch to the first exercise takes one screen.

Design, integrations and support

We design screens for mobile gestures and short sessions (UI/UX design), connect payments and other systems (integrations) and keep the app up to date with new iOS and Android versions after release (support). Interfaces can be in Kazakh, Russian and English.
