Hire iOS developers
Native iOS costs more than cross-platform and is sometimes worth it anyway. The question is not which is better in general, but whether what makes your product good lives close enough to the platform to justify a codebase that only runs on one of them.
When native earns its cost
Native is the right answer when the product depends on the platform: sustained background work, deep hardware access, tight integration with system frameworks, or interface behaviour that has to feel exactly like the operating system rather than approximately like it.
When the app is mostly screens over an API, cross-platform delivers the same product for less. We would rather tell you that than sell two native builds.
iPad is not a large iPhone
iPad has its own interface expectations — multi-column layouts, multitasking, external keyboard and pointer support — and treating it as a scaled phone build produces an app that works but feels wrong on the device.
We have built iPad applications as first-class targets rather than afterthoughts, which is unusual enough to be worth stating plainly.
Products where iOS is the primary or only platform
Apps depending on hardware, background processing or system frameworks
iPad-first products where the large screen is the point
Products needing both platforms where functionality is largely shared — React Native costs less for the same result
A first release testing demand, where two native codebases is a large bet before any evidence

We do not publish rates, because scope decides them
A figure quoted before scope is understood is not a commitment either side can rely on. These are the things that actually move it.
iPhone, iPad or both
Supporting both properly is more than one build plus a layout pass.
Hardware and system integration
Camera, background processing and system frameworks each add real work.
OS version support
How far back you support widens testing and constrains available APIs.
Store review
Submission and review are timeline items, not paperwork.
NDA first, contract on frozen scope
We sign a mutual NDA before the first detailed conversation, not after — you should be able to describe what you are building without qualifying it.
The contract follows requirement freeze rather than preceding it. Once scope is agreed and written down, it is what the agreement is drawn against, which is what makes a fixed commitment meaningful in the first place.
What buyers usually ask
Something not covered here?
Ask directly — we would rather answer a specific question than publish a general one.
Contact us01
Swift or Objective-C?
Swift for new work. We can work in an existing Objective-C codebase where one exists.02
Do you build iPad apps?
Yes, as first-class targets with their own interface design rather than a stretched phone layout.03
Native or React Native?
Native when the product depends on the platform; cross-platform when it is mostly screens over an API. The answer depends on your product, and we will give it straight.04
Do you handle App Store submission?
Yes, including signing, review and release.05
Can you work on our existing app?
Yes, starting with a read of the codebase and an honest note on its state.
