App development in Ireland: one codebase, both app stores

$99 a year to Apple and $25 once to Google Play are the only fees before you sign a quote. Your app is scoped and priced in writing, with iOS, Android and web on separate lines.

What you get, on both stores

• One codebase compiled for iOS and Android, with the platform differences handled screen by screen.
• First usable version scoped, built and submitted to both stores within eight to sixteen weeks.
• Developer accounts enrolled in your name: Apple at $99 a year, Google Play $25 once.
• Store submission handled end to end: listing copy, screenshots, privacy policy and data-safety declarations.
• Installable web app on the home screen, live the same day, with no store review.
• Push notifications, offline mode and background sync, behaving the same way on both builds.
• Backend, database, user accounts and admin panel, hosted in the EU on accounts you own.
• Source code in your repository from the first commit, with the licence assigned to you.

What does an app cost in Ireland?

€3,000 to over €100,000 is the range Irish studios publish for an app. Most of that spread is one decision: iOS and Android priced as one build or as two. Yours is quoted in writing before work starts.

What the quote covers and what it does not

Included

• One codebase released to iOS, Android or both, built to the scope you signed.
• Store listing, screenshots and the privacy and data-safety declarations both stores demand before review.
• Rejection rounds on that first submission, answered until your listing is live on the store.
• Backend, database and admin panel, with your staff accounts, roles and passwords set up.
• Push notifications and offline mode on every agreed screen that needs them.

Quoted separately

• A second app for a second audience, such as a driver app beside a customer app.
• Native modules for hardware that the cross-platform layer cannot reach on its own.
• Brand design from scratch, rather than applying the identity and logo you already have.
• Releases after handover, on a care plan from €45 a month.

Threshold: a change inside an agreed screen is included; a new screen, role or integration is quoted in writing first. The same rule holds after launch, on the care plan.

Is this the right build for you?

A good fit if

• You already have customers asking for an app, by name, in writing.
• Your field staff still carry a clipboard and somebody retypes it into a spreadsheet later.
• You run a system with logins and orders, but the phone version is missing.

Probably not, if

• Your plan is a consumer social product chasing venture scale, not a business tool.
• You need a game, heavy 3D or real-time hardware work, where native specialists beat one codebase.
