Mobile App Development in Dubai: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to build a mobile app in Dubai?

At Arka Softwares, a basic mobile app typically costs USD 5,400 to 7,200 (about AED 19,800 to 27,000), a medium app USD 9,000 to 14,400 (about AED 32,400 to 54,000) and an advanced app USD 14,400 or more. Prices are indicative, for a single platform and exclude VAT. Your quote depends on features, integrations and the number of platforms.

How long does it take to develop a mobile app?

A basic app takes about 2 to 3 months, a medium app 3 to 5 months and an advanced app 5 months or more, from kick-off to launch. A clear scope and quick feedback keep projects on schedule.

Should I build for iOS, Android or both?

It depends on your audience. Many UAE businesses launch on both platforms. If your budget is limited, a cross-platform app built with Flutter or React Native reaches both from one codebase, while native apps give the best performance for demanding features. We recommend an approach after we review your goals.

Can you build apps in Arabic and English?

Yes. We design and build bilingual apps with right-to-left layout for Arabic, so the experience feels natural for users across the UAE and the Middle East.

Do you sign an NDA and who owns the app?

We sign an NDA before you share your idea if you ask us to. Ownership terms, including the source code and design files, are agreed in writing in your contract.

Do you help with app store approval and launch?

Yes. We prepare the store listings, builds and screenshots, submit your app to the App Store and Google Play, and fix any review feedback so you can launch smoothly.

What happens after the app launches?

We offer support and maintenance for fixes, updates for new operating system versions and new features. Plan for maintenance of roughly 15 to 20% of the build cost per year.
