Apps Saudis keep on
their home screen.
iOS, Android, and cross-platform (Flutter / React Native) apps for Saudi startups and enterprises. From MVP to full consumer product — built in-house in Riyadh, from SAR 10,000.
From SAR 10,000From idea to App Store, without the drama.
Most app projects fail before launch — not because of code, but because of unclear scope, silent agencies, and budgets that double midway. We run app development the same way we run everything: a written scope with a fixed price, one named producer you talk to directly, and a working build demoed to you every Thursday.
We build native iOS and Android where performance demands it, and Flutter or React Native where one codebase serves both platforms better. Every app ships with Arabic and English support, Saudi payment integration where needed (Mada, Apple Pay, STC Pay), push notifications, analytics, and App Store / Google Play submission handled for you. MVPs start at SAR 10,000.
What's included in every app project.
Native & cross-platform
Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, or React Native — chosen for your performance needs and budget, with the trade-offs explained in writing.
Arabic-first UX
RTL interfaces, Arabic typography, and localised flows designed from the first screen — not flipped at the end.
Backend & APIs included
Node.js / Laravel backends, admin dashboards, and documented APIs built by the same in-house team.
Saudi integrations
Mada and Apple Pay payments, SMS OTP via Saudi gateways, Nafath/Absher where required, maps and delivery APIs.
Store submission handled
App Store and Google Play accounts, listings, screenshots, and review process managed until both approvals land.
Post-launch iteration
Crash monitoring, analytics dashboards, and a roadmap for version 2 based on real usage data — not guesses.
How we work with you.
Product scoping
User flows, feature list, and technical architecture documented. Fixed price and launch date committed in writing.
Design & prototype
Clickable prototype in Arabic and English you can test with real users before a line of production code is written.
Build in sprints
Working builds on your own phone every week via TestFlight and internal testing tracks. Demos every Thursday.
Launch & iterate
Store submission, launch monitoring, crash and analytics dashboards, and a prioritised v2 roadmap.
Questions Saudi clients ask us most.
How much does app development cost in Saudi Arabia?
At Safwa Web, MVP apps start at SAR 10,000. Full consumer products with backend, admin dashboard, and Saudi payment integration typically range from SAR 10,000 to SAR 40,000+. You get a fixed written quote before we start — and it does not change mid-project.
Flutter, React Native, or native — which should I choose?
Flutter or React Native serve most Saudi business apps well: one codebase, two platforms, 30–40% lower cost. Native Swift/Kotlin makes sense for heavy animation, AR, or deep hardware use. We recommend in writing with the trade-offs explained.
How long does it take to build and launch an app?
An MVP typically takes 10–14 weeks from kickoff to App Store approval. Larger consumer products take 4–6 months. You see a working build every week, so there are no surprises at the end.
Do you build the backend and admin panel too?
Yes — backend APIs, databases, admin dashboards, and integrations are built by the same in-house Riyadh team. One team, one contract, one point of accountability.
Who owns the app and the source code?
You do — completely. The App Store and Google Play accounts are created in your name, and the full source code with documentation is handed over at launch.
