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

A native app is developed specifically for iOS or Android, offering full access to device features (camera, GPS, push notifications, etc.) and the best possible performance. A PWA (Progressive Web App) is an advanced website that works like an app, installable on the home screen without going through stores. PWAs are faster and cheaper to develop, while native apps are ideal for projects requiring advanced system features.

How long does it take to develop an app?

Timeline depends on project complexity. A simple PWA can be ready in 4 to 6 weeks. Native apps with intermediate features take 8 to 16 weeks. More robust projects with complex integrations and multiple features can take 4 to 6 months. At Agência Apê, we work with sprint deliveries so you can follow the app's evolution from the start.

Do you publish the app on the App Store and Google Play?

Yes! We handle the full publication process, including developer account setup (Apple Developer and Google Play Console), metadata configuration, screenshots, optimised descriptions and submission for store review. We also follow the approval process and make necessary adjustments until the app is available for download.

How much does it cost to develop an app?

The investment varies based on app type, features, integrations and desired platforms. A PWA can start from $1,500 USD, while native iOS/Android apps start from $4,500 USD and can exceed $20,000 USD for more complex projects.

Do you offer maintenance and updates after launch?

Yes, we offer ongoing maintenance and evolution plans. This includes bug fixes, compatibility updates for new iOS and Android versions, performance improvements, new features and technical support. An app needs constant care to keep working well and keeping up with platform changes.
