Installable Progressive Web Apps by default. Native iOS and Android via vetted partners when the use case demands it. We own the spec, design, backend, and post-launch.
What we build
Scan the list. If your need is here, we ship it. If it's not, we'll tell you who does.
| Sub-service | What it is |
|---|---|
Progressive Web App (PWA) — installable, offline-capable, push notifications, no app store needed | Modern web that installs like an app. Same outcome, faster, cheaper, no gatekeeping. |
Native iOS app (delivered via partner network; Pikasso owns spec/design/PM/backend) | Swift / SwiftUI — when camera, BLE, or App Store discovery matters. |
Native Android app (same delivery model) | Kotlin / Jetpack Compose — for India-first deep hardware use cases. |
Cross-platform (React Native / Expo) where it fits | One codebase, two stores — for teams already on the JS stack. |
App Store + Google Play submission and ASO setup | Listings, screenshots, keywords, review responses — done right. |
In-app purchases / subscriptions (RevenueCat, Stripe) | Monetization that survives Apple's 30% and the refund cycle. |
Push notifications (OneSignal, Firebase) | Segmented, scheduled, and respectful of the lock screen. |
App analytics setup (Mixpanel, PostHog mobile) | Funnel, retention, cohort — the numbers that matter on mobile. |
Backend APIs and admin dashboards for the app | Where the data lives — and how your ops team manages it. |
Web companion site for the app (always paired) | Marketing, support, account management — never just an app. |
Why Pikasso for Mobile Apps
01 | Honest about PWA-first: most app requests don't need a native build, and we'll tell you so. |
02 | Partner network for native — we handle spec, design, PM, backend; partner writes Swift/Kotlin under our brief. |
03 | Web companion site, admin dashboard, and APIs are scoped together. Apps are never islands. |
04 | We don't take native-only briefs without a web layer — that's a different shop's job. |
How we build it
PWAs ship in 4 to 8 weeks (similar cadence to a web app). Native apps via partner take 8 to 16 weeks for the first store-ready build. We always start with the spec and the web layer.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
01 Discover | We map the buyer, the offer, the success metric, and the constraints. The proposal is what we agree to ship. |
02 Design | Wireframes, then high-fidelity in your brand. We test the user flow before we build it, not after. |
03 Build | Two-week sprints with a working demo at the end of each. You see progress weekly, not at the reveal. |
04 Launch & Care | 30 days of free Care post-launch. Then optional Always-On Partnership, the same team that built it runs it. |
Boring is good. Battle-tested is better. Every choice here exists in a real project we ship and run today.

What clients say about Mobile Apps
Persona-based snapshots. Names, cities, and companies are illustrative; the patterns and outcomes are drawn from real engagements.
“We started with a PWA because we were not sure native was worth the spend. Pikasso shipped the PWA in 6 weeks, watched our retention data, then quoted us a native rebuild only after we crossed 10k MAU. That advice saved us about $8K.”
“Field reps in spotty 3G zones needed an offline-first app. Pikasso shipped the React Native build with proper offline sync in 9 weeks. The ops team was using it on day one.”
“The handover from web to mobile was seamless because Pikasso wrote shared API contracts upfront. Our backend team did not have to renegotiate every endpoint when the mobile build started.”
Pricing
PWA: $2,499 to $7,999. Cross-platform (React Native): $4,999 to $11,999. Native iOS or Android via partner: $5,999 and up. Both stores, native: $9,999 and up. Final number depends on feature depth, integrations, and ongoing support.
