App Development Company
in Pune
Infiscroll builds Android, iOS and cross-platform apps in Pune from ₹60,000, and this page argues for something the market never mentions, that the Apple and Google developer accounts carry your name, not the studio’s. This page states what an app costs in rupees, how long it takes, and who owns what when it ships.
Platforms
Which platforms should you build for?
The platform follows your users and your budget, not the fashion. In India most consumer audiences are Android-first, while paying B2B and premium-retail audiences skew iOS, so the honest starting question is which half of your customers you cannot afford to miss in year one.
Native Android, written in Kotlin, gives the widest reach in Pune and the least expensive route to a first release. Native iOS, written in Swift, costs more per screen but reaches an audience that spends more per user. Cross-platform with Flutter or React Native puts one codebase on both stores and the web, which is usually the most economical way to cover everything at once and the least comfortable fit when an app leans hard on device hardware or platform-specific design.
Where an app depends on a camera pipeline, background location, health data or offline sync, native pays for itself. Where it is forms, listings, payments and notifications, cross-platform normally wins. That decision is made in Discover, before anything is quoted, because it changes the price more than any other choice on this page.
Seven stages, four
Where do the seven stages of app development fit into four?
The seven stages of app development (idea and research, planning, UI/UX design, development, testing, deployment and maintenance) are the same work Infiscroll runs as four stages, grouped by what you sign off rather than by what the team is doing that week. The four names are the same ones used on every Infiscroll project, so a client with a website and an app sees one process rather than two.
The table below maps each of the seven onto the stage that owns it and names the sign-off that closes it.
| Seven-stage model | Infiscroll stage | What closes it |
|---|---|---|
| Idea and research | Discover | An agreed feature list and a fixed quote |
| Planning | Discover | The screen map and the platform decision |
| UI/UX design | Design | Screens you approve, in the store’s own design conventions |
| Development | Build | Working builds you can install on your own device |
| Testing | Build | QA across real devices and both operating systems |
| Deployment | Grow | Store listings submitted and approved under your accounts |
| Maintenance | Grow | Nothing: Grow keeps running |
Deployment sits inside Grow rather than ending the project, because an app is not finished when it is approved: the first release is the point at which crash reports and store reviews start telling you what to build next. Our process sets out what each stage needs from you.
Ownership
Who owns the app and the store accounts?
You do: the app, its source code and its store listings are yours, and the developer accounts they live in should carry your company name from the first day rather than ours. This is the question the market does not answer: across the six ranking pages read for this rewrite, the words developer account, Play Console and Apple Developer do not appear once.
Both stores charge the account holder directly. The Apple Developer Program costs 99 US dollars per membership year, stated in Apple’s own Membership Details, and it must stay current or the app is removed from sale. The Google Play Console charges a one-time registration fee of 25 US dollars, per Google’s Play Console help documentation. Neither is large; what matters is whose name is on the account.
An app published under an agency’s account cannot be moved without that agency’s cooperation. The listing, the reviews, the ratings and the install base sit in their tenancy, and transferring an app between accounts needs the current holder to initiate it. That is a commercial dependency created by an administrative shortcut, and it is worth one question before you sign anywhere: whose developer account will my app be published under?
Put it in the quote, whoever builds the app: the accounts are registered in the client’s name, the app is published from them, and the credentials are handed over at launch. A studio that expects to hold the account should say so before the work starts rather than after the listing is live. The source-code position is set out on our services page, and the clause itself is in our terms.
Cost
What does an app cost in Pune?
A native Android app starts from ₹60,000, a native iOS app from ₹75,000, and one cross-platform codebase covering Android, iOS and web from ₹1,00,000. Those are the same figures published on our pricing page, and they are starting prices for the scope beside them rather than quotes.
The market gives a Pune business searching in rupees almost nothing to compare against: of the six ranking pages read for this rewrite, none publishes a rupee price, and the only figures anywhere in the set are quoted in dollars for offshore buyers. Two of the six publish a timeline.
Three things move an app quote more than anything else: the number of screens, the integrations (payments, maps, chat, an existing ERP or CRM) and whether a backend already exists or has to be built alongside the app. An app talking to a system you already run is a different project from one that needs its own database, admin panel and API.
Infiscroll quotes a fixed scope after Discover rather than an hourly rate. For a first app that matters, because an hourly engagement prices the work you cannot yet specify, and the specification is exactly what a first app lacks. See full pricing →
After launch
What happens after launch?
The week after release is monitoring, not celebration: crash reporting and analytics are watched, the first store reviews are read, and the first patch usually ships within days of real users arriving. Both stores expect apps to keep pace with their operating-system releases, so an app that is never updated eventually stops being installable rather than merely stale.
Being found inside the stores is its own discipline: the title, the keyword field, the screenshots and the review flow decide store search placement, and it pairs with the search work that brings people to the listing in the first place.
Every project includes a one to two month support window after launch, as published on our pricing page. Breakages inside that window are fixed as part of the build, not billed as maintenance.
Ongoing work runs as a separate monthly engagement, billed monthly in advance, and either side may end it on 30 days’ written notice, which is what our terms state. Nothing is bundled invisibly into a build price.
Industries
Which industries do you build apps for?
The requirement changes more between industries than between platforms. A clinic app is an appointment and reminder system with patient data to protect; a retail app is a catalogue, a checkout and a returns flow; a coaching app is batches, schedules and fee collection; a logistics app is offline-tolerant because drivers lose signal.
Each of those is written up on its own page under industries, including clinics and doctors, so the feature list starts from your trade rather than from a template.
FAQ
App development: questions answered
Six questions come up on almost every app enquiry: what it costs, Android or iOS first, native or cross-platform, how long it takes, who publishes it to the stores, and what maintenance involves. The answers below are the ones we give on the call.
How much does it cost to build an app in Pune?
A native Android app starts from ₹60,000, a native iOS app from ₹75,000, and one cross-platform codebase covering Android, iOS and web from ₹1,00,000. What moves the figure is the number of screens, the integrations, and whether a backend already exists or has to be built alongside the app.
Should I build for Android, iOS or both?
It depends on your audience. We can start with one platform or build cross-platform (Flutter/React Native) to cover both from one codebase.
Native or Flutter/React Native?
Native gives the best performance for demanding apps; cross-platform is faster and more budget-friendly while covering both platforms. We recommend based on your needs.
How long does app development take?
It depends on the scope agreed in Discover. Every project runs through the same four stages (Discover, Design, Build and Grow) and deployment to the stores sits inside Grow rather than ending the project, because store review and the first patch follow real users arriving.
Will you publish it to the app stores?
Yes, and the accounts matter more than the submission. Ask for the Apple Developer Program account (99 US dollars per membership year) and the Google Play Console account (a one-time 25 US dollar registration fee) to be registered in your company's name, with the credentials handed to you at launch. An app published under a studio's account cannot be moved without that studio's cooperation.
Do you provide maintenance and updates?
Yes. Every app includes a one to two month support window after launch, as published on our pricing page. After it, updates, OS-version compatibility and store-listing work run as a monthly engagement rather than being bundled invisibly into the build price.
Have an app idea?
Three things make a first message useful: what the app does and for whom, whether a backend or data already exists, and which platforms your customers actually use.
