We build iPhone and Android apps for businesses in Newcastle and across the North East. We aren't based there. Our teams work from Cheadle and Stockport town centre, south of Manchester, and from offices in London and Birmingham. Since 2017 we've run projects remotely for clients all over the UK. More than 50 apps later, most of our builds cost between £15,000 and £80,000.
Every new app starts with the App Gameplan, a four-week, fixed-price piece of work at £3,500 that ends with a scope you can take to your board and a price for the build.
Most of a project happens over a shared Slack channel and video calls. Every two weeks you get a new test build to try on your own phone, through TestFlight on iPhone and Firebase App Distribution on Android, so you see progress as it happens and can change direction early.
We use Flutter for most apps because one codebase gives you both an iPhone app and an Android app, which cuts the cost of building and of keeping it running later. When native Swift or Kotlin suits a project better, we'll say so during the Gameplan.
Smaller apps typically take 3 to 6 weeks of development and cost £15,000 to £40,000. Larger ones run 6 to 12 weeks at £40,000 to £80,000, and complex platforms start at £80,000. If you'd like to talk it through first, ring 0161 552 5498.
For most businesses the bigger cost comes after launch, when Apple and Google change their rules and an app nobody is looking after stops working. So we pick mature, well-supported tools and write code the next developer can read, whether that's us or someone else.
Once an app is live, App Care plans run from £675 to £1,495 a month. Got an existing app that's struggling? Our app rescue work opens with a free look at it, then a £95 code review; that £95 comes off the bill if you hire us.
“They’re more thoughtful than any other development team I’ve worked with..... I’m not sure what they could improve."
"The team has delivered exactly what we asked for but is able to use their own skill and judgment to make improvements"
"Foresight Mobile effectively and promptly met our needs. They were a candid, reliable, and collaborative partner."
