The Real Cost of Custom Mobile App Development

Most mobile projects are expensive because every iteration passes through a team structure built for long timelines. Orchids changes that by collapsing build cycles into direct AI-assisted output.

  • Development agencies: $150k-$500k, 6-12 months
  • Offshore teams: lower rates, but high coordination and quality risk
  • In-house hiring: $150k+ per developer per year
  • Orchids: 90% lower cost and days to working prototype

From Requirements to Production in Four Steps

The value of AI development is not just speed. It is being able to move from a requirement to a testable native codebase without waiting on every traditional handoff.

01

Define your requirements

02

03

Review and refine through conversation

04

Deploy to production

Built to Your Specifications, Not Forced Into Templates

Custom means the app can adapt to your business logic, your design system, and your integration environment instead of bending the product to fit a platform.
