FAQ

App developer questions

How much does it cost to build an app in Singapore? +

A web app or PWA typically costs between S$2,000 and S$15,000 depending on complexity. A native iOS/Android app is significantly more. I'll always recommend the most cost-effective approach for your requirements, and quote a fixed price before starting.

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

A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a website that behaves like a native app — it installs to the home screen, works offline, and supports push notifications. It runs on all devices with one codebase, whereas native apps require separate iOS and Android builds. For most business use cases, a PWA is faster and more cost-effective.

Can users find my app on the App Store? +

PWAs don't live in the App Store — users install them directly from your website URL. This is actually an advantage for updates (instant, no approval process) but if App Store presence is important to you, we can discuss hybrid options.

Do you build native iOS and Android apps? +

My primary focus is web-based and progressive web apps. For projects that genuinely need native features beyond what a PWA can offer, I can advise on the right approach and refer you to specialists if needed.

How long does it take to build a web app? +

A straightforward PWA or business web app typically takes 3–8 weeks depending on complexity. I set a clear timeline at the start and communicate throughout — no surprises.
