— FAQ
Mobile app development in Dubai, answered
How much does it cost to develop a mobile app in Dubai?
A branded app from Burj Code starts at AED 29,000 for a single platform up to 12 screens, AED 51,000 for a production app on both iOS and Android with a scalable backend and analytics, and AED 73,000 for a multi-platform enterprise build with PDPL/DIFC/ADGM compliance and a 12-month support SLA. Every price is fixed-scope in AED — no hourly billing and no surprise invoices.
How long does it take to build an app?
From idea to App Store in about 14 weeks. Discovery and strategy take week 1–2, UX and UI design weeks 3–5, development sprints weeks 6–12, then QA and store review in weeks 13–14. You get a staging build every Friday to install and use, so you see progress fortnightly rather than waiting for a big reveal.
Do you build native or cross-platform apps?
Both, and we recommend cross-platform for most Dubai projects. Flutter or React Native gives you one codebase on both stores at native performance for roughly half the cost. We go full native with Swift or Kotlin when the app needs heavy AR, ARKit measurement, or deep camera and map work — and we will tell you which one your project actually needs before you commit.
Will the app support Arabic?
Yes, and properly. Every app we build is bilingual English and Arabic with true right-to-left layout mirroring — the controls move, the forms right-align, and mixed Arabic-and-Latin strings render without the bidirectional algorithm scrambling them. Arabic is designed in from the first sprint, because retrofitting it after launch costs roughly double.
Do I own the source code?
Yes. You own the code outright on every package, with an NDA signed before the first call. Enterprise projects can add source code escrow. We do not license you a platform you cannot leave, and there is no lock-in that forces you to keep paying us to keep your own product running.
Which UAE payment gateways and integrations do you support?
Apple Pay, Google Pay, cards, Tabby and Tamara buy-now-pay-later, and cash on delivery, through UAE gateways including Network International, Telr, PayTabs, Tap and Stripe. On the systems side we integrate CRMs, ERPs, listing feeds, Dubai REST and DLD services, and legacy in-house software — integration count is what moves a budget, so we scope it explicitly up front.
What happens after launch?
Starter includes 30 days of post-launch support and Business includes 90 days plus App Store Optimization. After that, a maintenance retainer covers OS upgrades, crash monitoring, integration changes and feature work. We do not disappear after store approval — most of our clients are still with us years after their first release.
Are you actually based in Dubai?
Yes — 19th Floor, Sheikh Rashid Tower, Dubai World Trade Centre. You can walk into the office and meet the team face to face. Every project gets a senior product manager based in Dubai, with Arabic and English support seven days a week on WhatsApp and Teams. We are not a remote outsourcing shop with a virtual address.
