Ways to hire mobile app developers in Alexandria
There is no single right way to hire. Some Alexandria businesses want a fixed price for a clear project, others want a developer on call each month. Pick the model that suits your budget and how sure you are about the features.
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.

How to find the right app developer in Alexandria
We would rather you hire well than hire us. Use this checklist with every developer you talk to:
- 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 who actually writes the code. Some agencies pass work on to other teams. You should know who is building your app.
- Agree how you will communicate. Settle on a weekly call, a chat channel and one point of contact before work starts.
- Make sure you will own everything. The code, the designs and the Google Play and App Store accounts should be in your name, not the developer's.
We are happy to be checked against every point on this list.
How we keep things simple for Alexandria clients
Clear quotes
You get a written quote with a feature list and timeline before any work starts.
One codebase for Android and iPhone
We usually recommend Flutter, which saves you money on both the first build and every update.
Help after launch
We stay on for bug fixes, store updates and new features on a simple monthly plan.
Weekly updates
Every week you get a short update and a test build you can try on your own phone.
Staying in touch from Alexandria
When it is 9:00 AM in Alexandria, it is 6:30 PM in India during daylight saving time and 7:30 PM the rest of the year. Our team is available from 10 AM to 11 PM India time, which leaves about 3 hours of a normal Alexandria working day for live calls. In practice, we hold calls in your morning and build while you sleep, so you wake up to progress.
What it costs to hire app developers
Prices are determined by the complexity of your app and the time involved. Every app is different, so we quote each project on its own.
Post your project with a short description and we will send a clear, no-obligation quote, usually within a few hours.
Post your projectWhat affects the price
- How many screens and user types the app has
- Features such as payments, chat, maps or live tracking
- Android, iPhone or both
- How detailed the design is
- Connections to other software, such as your CRM or Google Sheets
Questions from Alexandria businesses

We usually split work into milestones. You pay for each milestone after you have seen and tested it.
Can you build the app for both Android and iPhone?
Yes. For most Alexandria businesses we recommend Flutter, which gives you both apps from one codebase.

We are a small app development company. You can hire us like a freelancer, by the hour, or for a full project with design, testing and support.

Most projects start within a week of agreeing the scope. Small fixes can often start in a day or two.
Do you offer app development consulting in Alexandria?
Yes. You can book a consultant by the hour to review your idea, a quote from another company or an existing app.
Who owns the app and the code?
You do. The app is published under your own Google Play and Apple developer accounts, and all code and designs are handed over to you.
