Types of Mobile App Development 

There are three main approaches to creating mobile applications, each designed to meet specific business needs while considering resource availability. They differ in performance, time to market, and cost. As part of our mobile app development services, we help you define the right option for your goals while delivering efficient, high-quality solutions.

  • Native Mobile App Development Services

    Native apps are built specifically for iOS or Android using the unique features of each platform. They provide unmatched performance, seamless access to device features, and an intuitive user experience—making them ideal for industries where reliability and responsiveness are critical. As seasoned mobile app developers, we ensure every native application is designed for speed, security, and long-term scalability.

  • Cross-platform Mobile App Development Services

    Cross-platform apps allow companies to launch solutions for both iOS and Android from a single codebase with frameworks like Flutter and React Native. This approach accelerates delivery, reduces costs, and makes it easier to maintain consistency across platforms. NIX provides mobile application development services that leverage cross-platform tools to help businesses quickly reach wider audiences without sacrificing quality or performance.

  • Hybrid or Progressive Web Application Development Services

    Hybrid and progressive web applications (PWAs) run in the device’s browser environment, offering cost efficiency and rapid deployment. They’re a smart choice for MVPs, early-stage products, and businesses seeking lightweight solutions with broad accessibility. Our team develops hybrid and PWA solutions optimized for usability and security, helping clients validate ideas, engage customers, and expand strategically into new markets.

FAQs on Mobile Application Development

01/

What is custom mobile app development?

Custom application development is the process of designing, engineering, and releasing a unique app for mobile devices according to specific business, technical, and design requirements. Unlike off-the-shelf solutions, custom apps are built to meet a particular customer’s needs precisely.

02/

Is custom mobile application development worth it?

Absolutely. Consumers increasingly prefer instant, accessible experiences on their smartphones. As of 2025, over 7.21 billion people (approximately 90% of the global population) own a smartphone. The average person spends about 6 hours and 40 minutes daily on screens, with a significant portion dedicated to mobile usage. With the market projected to reach $585 billion USD in 2026, going mobile ensures your business stays ahead in this rapidly growing market.

03/

How long does it take to develop a custom mobile app?

The fair answer is: it depends on requirements and resources available. According to BusinessOfApps, on average, it takes:

  • 1–3 months for an MVP with basic functionality
  • 4–8 months for mandatory functions, API integrations, and advanced UX/UI
  • 9+ months for additional functionality and special features

Within our mobile app development services, we’re sure to evaluate your project, including from the point of view of its probable duration.

04/

How much does it cost to build a custom mobile app?

It all depends on requirements, project hourly estimation, and the mobile developers’ rate.

According to Clutch:

  • App MVP could be from $15,000 to $50,000
  • A meaningful app is between $100,000 and $500,000

To get a precise cost estimation of the app, download our RFP template.

05/

Which frameworks do you use for mobile app development (Flutter, React Native, Kotlin, Swift)?

At NIX, we select frameworks based on your app’s goals, design complexity, platform requirements, and required integrations. We use native technologies like Swift and Kotlin for apps that need maximum performance, and cross-platform frameworks like Flutter and React Native for faster development across multiple platforms. The main goal is to analyze a specific case and choose the right tech stack and team to deliver a secure, scalable, and cost-effective solution tailored to the identified needs.

06/

How can I choose a mobile app development company?

Choosing the right team goes beyond price—what matters most is quality, methodology, and alignment with your goals. Review portfolios, client feedback, and communication style, and ensure the team truly understands your business and treats your project as their own. At NIX, we follow this approach, delivering exceptional results and building long-term relationships that make us a trusted mobile app development company.

Learn more about how to choose the right development partner in our special article.

07/

What are the advantages of outsourcing mobile app development?

According to our customer survey, the most valuable benefits of outsourcing application development are:

  • Faster time-to-market
  • Reducing costs
  • Greater focus on core business
  • Solving capacity issues
  • Improving quality
  • Accessing a wider pool of talent and skills

Leading companies like Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Alibaba have long relied on outsourcing. NIX provides the same expertise, ensuring your project is delivered efficiently, with high quality and seamless collaboration.

08/

What is the difference between native and cross-platform mobile apps?

Native apps are built for a single platform (iOS or Android) and offer unmatched performance, security, and full use of device features. Cross-platform apps, created from one codebase, run on multiple platforms, enabling faster delivery and reduced costs. At NIX, our enterprise mobile app development approach combines the best of both worlds—ensuring enterprise-grade reliability while remaining accessible for startups and mid-sized businesses.

09/

How do you ensure security and compliance (HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS)?

We implement strict security measures, including encryption, secure authentication, and continuous testing, to protect sensitive data. Every solution aligns with HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DSS. This ensures that applications remain compliant with industry regulations and protect user trust.

10/

Do you provide ongoing maintenance and updates after launch?

Yes. We provide continuous support, proactive monitoring, and feature improvements to keep your app secure and competitive. Our custom mobile app development services extend the app’s life cycle, adapt functionality to evolving needs, and maximize long-term business value.

11/

Can you build an MVP first and scale later?

Absolutely. Our clients often start with an MVP to validate their idea, test user adoption, and minimize risks. Once the concept proves successful, we add advanced functionality, integrate third-party services, and optimize performance. This way, you can gradually scale your product to meet the growing needs of your business and users.

12/

How do you ensure performance and scalability across devices and screen sizes?

We optimize code, perform rigorous performance testing, and apply adaptive design principles to ensure apps function consistently across resolutions and devices. By combining engineering excellence with expertise across domains, we deliver responsive, user-friendly mobile app solutions that remain fast and scalable under growing demand.
