Think we could be a great match for your project?
The typical company that hires us needs internal business apps. Meaning, apps that will be used by their workforce and that workforce is often in the field. These apps are created to modernize or streamline operations, eliminate paperwork, automate workflows or otherwise transform how they do things.
We’ve also developed apps that will be used industry-wide for similar reasons. Equally enjoyable are the apps that are used by our clients’ clients – such as the dental lab app we developed, which you can read about in our portfolio.
We specialize in developing apps for iOS, Android and the web. We build cross-platform apps, native apps, progressive web apps (PWAs) and APIs. The iOS and Android apps we develop are eligible to be published on the app store.
Absolutely. We provide UI and UX design as part of all our software development projects.
We have extensive experience designing and developing field service apps. That is to say, apps that are used by a dispersed workforce – in the field. We’ve developed custom apps for construction companies, healthcare companies, electrical providers, logistics companies…and more.
Yes, we do fixed price when the scope is also fixed and clearly defined. For highly complex projects that span many months, or when the scope can’t be defined upfront, fixed price is not a good fit. We’ll let you know ahead of time if we think this is the case.
Our prices start at $5000 for simple progressive web apps. More extensive app development projects range from $15,000 to $35,000. Highly complex, multi-platform apps will increase in price from there. If this sounds feasible and you’d like to discuss, please request a quote.
Expect it to take 1 to 3 months to develop your app. Highly complex projects may take longer.
We do, please take a look at Our Work for examples of apps we’ve designed and developed for our clients. We also have a Behance profile that showcases some of our software designs.
We sure do. For projects where a no-code solution is the right fit, we recommend from a number of no-code tools, including:
No we do not. Our entire team (including all of our developers) is located in the United States and one in Canada.
We do not outsource locally or abroad. Mobile application design and development is our specialty. Our company founder wrote an article in our blog about why we don’t outsource, which you can read to learn more about our take on this topic.
Maybe. Our minimum budget for fix-it projects is $15,000. The code also needs to be written in a language we support: Swift, Kotlin, Dart (Flutter), Java, C#, Angular. If the app you need fixed meets those criteria, please reach out to talk to our team.
It may be necessary to for us to visit your office as part of a consulting engagement. But, sending our developers to your location for ongoing work is not necessary, and not part of our culture at Big Fish.
We do not sign an NDA before talking. An NDA is a contract and we only sign contracts with our clients. That said, a confidentiality agreement is part of our Terms and Conditions when you hire us. If you’re concerned about protecting your app idea we wrote some thoughts and advice in our blog. In short: an NDA really isn’t necessary before you hire us.
We do not. Big Fish is a team for hire and we do not participate in profit share, equity deals or other similar arrangements.
If you’re with a company that may be interested in hiring Big Fish please contact us so we can answer your questions directly.
