One clear starting price. Scoped to what you need.

An app's cost depends on what it has to do — a PWA is the affordable starting point; native builds and offline sync are quoted on top, clearly, before we start.

Starting app build

A real, installable web app (PWA) covering one core workflow — the fastest way onto your customers' or staff's phones.

AED 3,500

₹65,000 in India · one-time payment

Get started
  • Custom-built installable web app (PWA) — works on Android and iPhone
  • One core workflow built end-to-end (ordering, booking, job tracking — whatever your business needs)
  • Add-to-Home-Screen install, works offline once installed
  • Connects to your existing systems via API — Alfa Decode or otherwise
  • Mobile-first design, built for the phones your customers and staff actually use
  • 1 round of revisions before go-live

Exact quote depends on the workflow and features — this is where almost everyone starts.

Real apps, built for real businesses — including our own

Alfa-Fix — Native Android App, India

Alfa-Fix is our own nationwide device-repair business. Its staff app is a real native Android build — installed directly on technicians' and counter staff's phones — with a background service that watches for new repair jobs and alerts staff with a sound the moment one comes in, even if the app isn't open. Built from the same codebase as the web app, so both stay in sync automatically.

  • Native Android build with a background job-watching service
  • Sound alert on new jobs, even when the app is in the background
  • One shared codebase — Android app and web app stay in sync

Installed directly on staff devices today; a Play Store listing is next.

  • Installable checkout app — any tablet or PC, no app store needed
  • 5% UAE VAT, bilingual Arabic/English tax invoices built in

Alfa Trade — Wholesale Distribution Suite, Madhya Pradesh

A wholesale agarbatti & pooja-products distributor running six delivery vans out of six godowns. We built two connected apps on one backend: an office web app for billing, receivables and stock, and a separate installable app for salesmen on the road — in Hindi, working with no signal at all, syncing every sale, collection and stock update the moment a van is back in range.

  • Office web app — billing, receivables, van stock, live at trade.alfadecode.com
  • Separate installable salesman app, in Hindi, for staff on the road
  • Fully offline — bills, collections and stock queue locally and sync automatically

The salesman's app, on his own phone — punch in, bill a van sale, collect a payment, close the day. No signal needed until it's time to sync.

How it works

From a WhatsApp message to installed on real phones

1

Tell us what the app needs to do

A short call — who uses it, what they need to get done, and whether it has to work offline.

2

We scope the build

PWA, native, or both — we recommend the right shape for your budget and use case, then give you a clear written quote.

3

We build in stages

You see working versions on a real phone as we go, not just a demo at the very end.

4

Launch & handover

Installed for your team, published to the app stores if needed, and handed over — yours, no lock-in.

We use what we build

Alfa-Fix, Alfa POS and Alfa Trade below aren't demos — they're real products we run every day, built by the same team that would build yours.

A fixed starting price

AED 3,500 (₹65,000 in India) to start, and a clear written quote before anything custom is added. No hourly meter, no surprises.

You own everything

The code and, where we publish them, the app-store listings are yours, handed over in full. No lock-in — ever.

FAQ

App development — your questions

How much does an app cost?

App builds start at AED 3,500 in the UAE (₹65,000 in India) for a custom installable web app (PWA) covering one core workflow. A native Android or iOS build, an offline-first sync engine, or connecting the app to your existing Alfa Decode data are quoted separately, based on what you actually need — we give you a clear written quote after a short scoping call.

What's the difference between a PWA and a native app?

A PWA (installable web app) is one build that installs from a browser on both Android and iPhone, with no app-store review — it is the fastest, most affordable way to get a real app icon on your customers' phones. A native app is a separate Play Store / App Store build with deeper access to the phone (background services, native push, camera, GPS) — worth it once you need those. We often build both from one shared codebase, as we did for Alfa-Fix below.

Can the app work with no internet signal?

Yes, as an add-on. Our offline-first sync engine lets staff keep working — taking orders, logging sales, recording jobs — with zero signal, queuing everything locally and syncing automatically the moment they reconnect. Alfa Trade's salesman app, below, runs exactly this way for vans on the road in rural Madhya Pradesh.

How long does it take to build?

A focused first version is usually a matter of weeks, not months, depending on the features and how quickly we get feedback from you. We build in stages so you see real progress on your own phone throughout, not just a demo at the end.

Do I own the app afterwards?

Yes, completely — the code and, where we publish to the app stores, the store listings themselves are yours, under your own developer accounts. No lock-in.

Can I see real, working examples?

Yes — three, below, all live products we've built and run ourselves: Alfa-Fix, a native Android repair-tracking app; Alfa POS UAE, an installable supermarket checkout app; and Alfa Trade, a wholesale distribution suite with a back-office web app and a Hindi salesman app that works with no signal.
