Android app development services — native Kotlin development
Android is 70%+ of the world’s mobile devices. Native apps in Kotlin deliver maximum performance and work across thousands of devices. Device matrix, background processes and Google Play publishing with full moderation support.
When you need native Android specifically
Android is the largest market in the world. Native development in Kotlin is needed where performance, working across device diversity, or deep system capabilities are critical. On its own native isn’t more expensive than Flutter — the premium only appears when you target both platforms.
You only need one platform
If the product is for Android only — native is optimal. Flutter saves money only when you need both platforms; for one there’s no premium.Maximum audience reach
Android is 70%+ of devices globally, especially in Asia, Africa and Latin America. If your audience is there — start with Android.Working with the device matrix
Thousands of screens, OS versions, manufacturers. We natively control adaptation for each device segment.Background processes and services
Foreground services, WorkManager, complex background logic — where Android gives more freedom than iOS.Hardware integrations
NFC, Bluetooth, sensors, custom peripherals, IoT — direct access through native Android.Performance and graphics
Games, real-time processing, on-device ML (ML Kit) — maximum performance.Need both Android and iOS on a limited budget? Consider Flutter — one codebase for both platforms with ~30% saved. At discovery we’ll advise: where native Android is worth the money, and where cross-platform is enough.

What language are Android apps developed in?
Kotlin — Google’s official, modern language, with Jetpack Compose or XML for the interface. We also maintain Java projects, but new products are built in Kotlin.
What is the cost of Android app development?
An MVP for Google Play starts at $1,000-5,000. A full native product with backend is $7,000-20,000+. Our calculator gives an exact range in 2 minutes.
Native Android or cross-platform?
If you only need Android, native is the right call — no premium for one platform. If you need both, Flutter saves ~30%. Native is worth it for hardware integrations, heavy background work and games. We’ll advise honestly at discovery.
Do you provide custom Android app development services?
Yes — every project is custom Android development with clean architecture, your own design and full GitHub access. No templated builds.
Do you help pass Google Play moderation?
Yes. We know the typical policy-rejection reasons, prepare the app for submission and support the process. If it’s rejected because of our mistake, we fix it for free.
A word from our mobile team
“Android is freedom and a challenge at once: thousands of devices where everything has to work equally well. WiFi Heatmap with 3M+ downloads taught us to build for real hardware diversity, not «for our own phone». Native Android is worth the money where audience coverage and hardware integration matter.
