Three ways to hire an app developer
You do not need to commit to a big contract to get started. Choose a fixed project, pay by the hour, or hire a dedicated developer who works only on your app.
Fixed-price project
Best when you know what the app should do. Written scope, agreed price, milestone payments.
Hourly developer
Best for small jobs, fixes and ideas that are still changing. Weekly time reports.
Dedicated developer
A developer who works only on your app, about 160 hours a month. Good for long roadmaps.

Talk to app experts before you spend on development
Some clients in Chennai come to us only for advice: which features to build first, whether to choose Flutter or native, or why their current app gets bad reviews. Consulting is billed by the hour, with no pressure to build with us.
The people who would work on your app:
React Native developers
A good fit if your website is already built in React.
iOS app developers
For products aimed at iPhone users, with Apple Pay and Face ID.
Android app developers

| Support after launch | Yes, at agency rates | Depends on the person | Monthly plans |
| Who owns the code | Check the contract | Check the contract | You do, always |
| How you meet | In person | Chat only | Video calls and chat |

How to find the right app developer in Chennai
Most app projects that go wrong could have been saved by asking a few questions at the start. Before you hire anyone, check these:
- Be careful with very low fixed quotes. A quote far below everyone else usually means features were missed or corners will be cut.
- Ask to see live apps. Screenshots are easy to fake. Ask for apps you can download, or a test build you can install on your own phone.
- Pay by milestone. Avoid paying everything upfront. Pay for each stage after you have seen it working.
- Ask about support after launch. Phones and store rules change every year. Find out who fixes things after launch, and what it costs.
- Ask who actually writes the code. Some agencies pass work on to other teams. You should know who is building your app.
Every point above is part of how we work by default.
