Mobile App Development Company in Dubai

iOS and Android apps built for UAE businesses

We are a Dubai-based mobile app development company building native and cross-platform apps for businesses across the UAE and the wider Gulf. From first wireframe to App Store and Google Play launch, we handle the whole build, and we stay on afterwards because that is when an app really gets tested.

Mobile app development in Dubai, done properly

Most businesses in Dubai do not need an app because apps are fashionable. They need one because a process is breaking: bookings taken over WhatsApp at midnight, drivers phoning the office for the next job, customers asking the same five questions every day. That is the conversation we start with, before anyone talks about screens.

Building for the UAE market carries its own requirements. Apps often need Arabic and English side by side, which means right-to-left layouts designed in from the start rather than bolted on. Payments usually mean local gateways and card habits that differ from Europe or the US. And your users are overwhelmingly on mobile data across a mix of recent iPhones and mid-range Android devices, so performance budgets matter more than they would elsewhere.

For most clients we recommend a single React Native codebase shipping to both iOS and Android. It keeps the build affordable and, more importantly, keeps ongoing maintenance affordable, because every future feature ships to both platforms at once instead of twice. When an app genuinely needs deep platform integration we build native in Swift or Kotlin, and we will tell you plainly which one your project actually calls for.

A UAE app we built and launched: Spartlic

A car services marketplace app for the UAE, live on the App Store and Google Play.

Spartlic - UAE Car Services App

Car owners in the UAE were juggling separate channels for spare parts, mechanics and car washes, so we put all of it in one app with location-based discovery that surfaces nearby providers first. Built on a single React Native codebase with a Node.js and PostgreSQL backend, and shipped to both the App Store and Google Play together.

  • Spare parts marketplace
  • Mechanic shop finder
  • Car wash locator
  • Service booking system

Mobile app development FAQs

Need a direct answer? Call us on +971 56 933 3730.

How much does it cost to develop a mobile app in the UAE?

A basic mobile app starts around AED 30,000. Mid-complexity apps with backend, user accounts, and payments range AED 60,000 to AED 150,000. Complex apps with real-time features cost AED 150,000+. Talk to us on +971 56 933 3730 for an estimate.

Should I build native or cross-platform (React Native or Flutter)?

Cross-platform with React Native or Flutter is usually best for startups and SMEs: one codebase, two stores, faster shipping. Native iOS or Android is better when you need heavy device integration, demanding graphics, or platform-specific features.

Do you publish to the App Store and Google Play?

Yes. We handle the full submission process: developer accounts, app store assets, privacy policies, review handling, and updates after launch.

How long does mobile app development take?

A typical MVP takes 10 to 16 weeks from kickoff to store launch. We work in 2-week sprints and share builds at every milestone so you see progress continuously.

Can you integrate with WhatsApp, payment gateways, and local UAE services?

Yes. We integrate with WhatsApp Business, Stripe, Telr, Network International, Tabby, Tamara, UAE Pass, and major local APIs.

How do I choose a mobile app development company in Dubai?

Ask to see an app the company has actually launched and can point to in the App Store or Google Play, not just designs. Ask who owns the code and the developer accounts when the project ends: the answer should be you. Get the estimate broken down by feature rather than as one lump sum, and ask what happens after launch, because maintenance is where most app budgets quietly go. A company that pushes back on parts of your brief is usually a better sign than one that agrees to everything.

Do you support Arabic and right-to-left layouts?

Yes. We build Arabic and English into the app from the start rather than retrofitting it, which means right-to-left layouts, correct date and number formatting, and text that still fits when it changes length between languages.

Who owns the app and the source code after launch?

You do. You own the source code, the repositories, and the App Store and Google Play developer accounts. We hand everything over at the end of the project, and you are free to take the app to another team if you ever want to.
