The Challenge

Your Business Needs a Mobile App

With 33 million smartphone users in Kenya, your customers expect mobile access. These challenges are holding your business back.

No Mobile Presence

Your competitors have apps and you don't. Kenyan consumers spend 4+ hours daily on mobile apps — if you're not there, you're invisible.

Slow Manual Processes

Orders via phone calls, WhatsApp messages, and spreadsheets. Manual processes are slow, error-prone, and impossible to scale as your business grows.

Payment Friction

Customers want to pay instantly via M-Pesa from their phones. Without in-app payments, you're losing sales to competitors who make buying effortless.

Failed App Projects

You've tried building an app before with freelancers who disappeared mid-project. Buggy code, missed deadlines, and an app that never launched.

No Push Notifications

You're relying on SMS and email to reach customers. Push notifications have 7x higher engagement rates and cost nothing per message.

No Business Intelligence

Without an app, you have no data on user behavior, popular products, peak usage times, or customer preferences. You're making decisions blind.

Sound familiar? Let's build your app.

A custom mobile app turns these challenges into competitive advantages for your Kenyan business.

FAQ

App Development Questions

Common questions about mobile app development in Kenya.

Mobile app development in Kenya costs between KES 150,000 and KES 5,000,000+ depending on complexity. Simple MVP apps start at KES 150,000-250,000 (single platform, basic features). Business apps with M-Pesa integration, user accounts, and admin panels cost KES 500,000-1,500,000. Enterprise apps with real-time features, scalable backends, and fintech-grade security start at KES 2,000,000+. Cross-platform development (Flutter/React Native) saves 30-40% compared to building separate native apps — get a free quote for your specific project.
Simple apps take 2-3 months from design to app store launch. Business apps with multiple features typically take 3-5 months. Complex enterprise apps take 5-8 months or more. This includes UI/UX design, development, testing, and app store submission. We use agile sprints so you see progress every 2 weeks. We can also launch an MVP faster (8-10 weeks) while building out full features iteratively after launch.
For most Kenyan businesses, we recommend cross-platform development using Flutter or React Native. You get one codebase that runs on both Android and iOS, saving 30-40% in development costs and time. The performance difference is negligible for most apps. Native development (Swift for iOS, Kotlin for Android) is better when you need maximum performance, complex animations, AR/VR features, or deep hardware access. We help you choose the right approach based on your budget, timeline, and feature requirements during our free consultation.
Yes — M-Pesa integration is one of our core specialties. We integrate M-Pesa STK Push (Daraja API), C2B and B2C payments, Lipa Na M-Pesa, and M-Pesa Express for seamless in-app payments. We also integrate Airtel Money, card payments via Pesapal or Flutterwave, and bank transfers. Every payment integration includes proper callback handling, transaction verification, and receipt generation. As a Kenyan company, we understand the local payment landscape better than offshore developers.
Yes — all our app development packages include post-launch support. The MVP package includes 3 months of bug fixes and minor updates. Business packages include 6 months of maintenance, OS compatibility updates, and feature enhancements. Enterprise clients get ongoing dedicated support with SLA guarantees, performance monitoring, and regular feature releases. We also handle app store management, update submissions, and compliance with Google Play and Apple App Store policies.
