Should we build native or cross-platform?
Depends on the product. Camera-heavy, hardware-intensive, or animation-critical apps usually warrant native. Most B2C and internal tools ship faster. And cheaper to maintain. Cross-platform. The scoping call decides which path fits your goals and budget.
How long does it take to launch an MVP?
Most MVPs launch in 8 to 14 weeks depending on scope, integrations, and platform count. You get a fixed-scope proposal with milestone dates before any build sprint starts.
Do you handle App Store and Google Play submission?
Yes. End-to-end. Listing copy, screenshots, preview video, keyword research, and review guideline compliance are all included, along with triage if a submission gets rejected.
Can you build the backend and APIs too?
Absolutely. Most engagements include backend architecture, database design, auth, payments, and third-party integrations. So the app and the systems behind it ship as one coherent build.
What happens after launch?
We stay on as your engineering partner. Monitoring crashes and retention, shipping feature releases on a predictable cadence, and scaling infrastructure as usage grows.
How fast can we start?
Most app builds start within a week of the strategy call, once scope and platform choice are confirmed.
Do we own what you build?
Yes. You get full ownership of the source code, repos, and app store accounts. DEVLIP operates them, but nothing is locked to us.
What are the contract terms?
Scope, timeline, and terms are confirmed in writing before kickoff, covering platforms, milestones, and repo access. No surprises, no fine print. Qualifying engagements carry a 90-day results guarantee.
What does this cost?
DEVLIP runs three tiers built for scope, not a fixed price sheet: Launch, Scale, and Portfolio, each custom-quoted to your scope. Most single-platform MVPs start around Launch or Scale, while multi-platform builds with backend and ongoing support usually sit in Scale or Portfolio.

How do we pay you?
Bank transfer, wire, card through Stripe, or PayPal, whichever is easiest for your team.
