What every app project includes
The same essentials, whatever the size of your app.
A written proposal first
After a free call, you get the scope, timeline and price in writing before any work starts, so you know what you are paying for.
Design you review early
You see and approve the screens before development, and we build in phases with regular reviews until launch.
Testing on real devices
We test on iPhones and Android phones of different sizes, then publish to the App Store and Google Play for you.
Your code, your accounts
The source code, app store accounts and hosting are set up in your company’s name, so you are never locked in.
The technology we use
Proven tools, chosen for your project rather than for fashion.
iOS and Android
Flutter or React Native for one app on both platforms, and Swift when an iPhone app needs to be fully native.
Web apps and back ends
React for web apps and dashboards, with Node.js and PostgreSQL behind them, hosted in the cloud.
AI
Large language models such as Claude for assistants and document reading, as in the PrimeAuto platform we built.
French, Quebec and funding
English and French from day one
Many Ottawa apps are also used in Gatineau. If you offer an app in Quebec, its French-language rules generally mean offering a French version, so we plan both languages from the first design. Développement d’applications à Gatineau
SR&ED and IRAP
Some app projects include work that may qualify for SR&ED tax credits or NRC IRAP funding. We can split your project into phases and keep clear technical records; your accountant confirms what qualifies.

Estimate your appApp development in Ottawa: common questions
How much does it cost to build an app in Ottawa?
Starter apps start from $15,000 CAD, business apps from $36,000 and advanced platforms from $65,000, before taxes; scope and features set the final price. We send a written proposal after a free call.
How long does it take to build an app?
About 6 to 10 weeks for a starter app, 10 to 14 weeks for a business app and 15 to 20 weeks for an advanced platform.
Do you build for both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Most apps we build run on both from one codebase, with Flutter or React Native. When an app needs to be fully native, we build it in Swift for iPhone.
How do you price an app?
After a free call we send a written proposal with scope, timeline and price, based on platforms, features, design and integrations. Our estimator gives you a typical range in two minutes.
Which payment providers do you integrate?
We integrate Stripe, Moneris and Apple Pay, and connect your app to the POS, ERP or CRM you already use.
Can you build bilingual apps?
Yes. We build apps in English, French and Arabic, with right-to-left layouts planned from the start when you need Arabic.
Can we work with you in French?
Yes. Our team speaks French, so calls, meetings and emails can be in French or English. Lire cette page en français.
Where is your Ottawa office?
Our office is at 1390 Prince of Wales, Ottawa, ON K2C 3N6, and we have a second office in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Do you offer support after launch?
Yes. We handle updates, improvements and technical support after launch, on a support plan agreed with you.
Who owns the code and the app store accounts?
You do. The source code, App Store and Google Play accounts and hosting are set up in your company’s name.
Can you add AI features to our app?
Yes. We build assistants that answer from your own data, document reading and smart search into iOS, Android and web apps. See AI app development.
Does our app need to be in French?
If you serve customers in Quebec, plan for it: Quebec’s Charter of the French Language requires software sold there to be available in French whenever a French version exists, on terms at least as good as other languages. Many Ottawa businesses serve Gatineau, so we plan both languages from the start.
Can app development qualify for SR&ED or IRAP funding?
Sometimes. Routine development with known methods usually doesn’t qualify for SR&ED; work that resolves a real technical uncertainty can. NRC IRAP supports innovative projects at incorporated businesses. Talk to your accountant, and contact IRAP before starting work you want funded.
Do we have to meet in person?
No, but you can. Our office is in Ottawa at 1390 Prince of Wales, and most projects run on video calls with regular progress reviews.
Do you also work with businesses in Toronto?
Yes. We work with businesses in Toronto and across the GTA on video calls, with the same team and process. See app development in Toronto.
