Mobile App Development Packages and Pricing in Dubai
App prices in Dubai vary enormously. Guides published in 2026 put a first version (MVP) at about AED 10,000 or more (Skimbox), most first production builds at AED 25,000 to 90,000, and many guides start at AED 18,000. One agency advertises a limited-time MVP package at AED 4,999. Our packages start below those entry points because we build iOS and Android from one Flutter codebase and work remotely from India.
| Package | Best for | What's included | From (AED, excl. VAT) |
|---|---|---|---|
| MVP App | Startups and businesses testing an idea | One core user journey, up to about 8 screens, sign-up and login, push notifications, basic backend and admin panel, iOS and Android from one codebase, store submission support | 4,499 |
| Standard Business App | Businesses launching a customer-facing app | Up to about 15 screens, multiple user roles, in-app payments, maps, notifications, English and Arabic (RTL), admin dashboard, third-party integrations | 6,499 |

Prices last reviewed: October 2026.
Not included: Apple Developer and Google Play accounts (held in your name), cloud hosting and backend running costs, paid third-party services such as maps, SMS or payment fees, and ongoing maintenance. Guides such as Skimbox suggest budgeting roughly 15 to 25 percent of the build cost per year for updates and support. We list all of this in your quote.

Native or Cross-Platform (Flutter)?
| Cross-platform (Flutter) | Native (Swift and Kotlin) | |
|---|---|---|
| Codebase | One for iOS and Android | Two separate apps |
| Cost and speed | Lower cost, faster launch | Higher cost, longer build |
| Performance | Near-native for most business apps | Best for heavy graphics or deep hardware use |
| Updates | Ship changes to both platforms together | Update each platform separately |
| Best for | Most business, booking, e-commerce and service apps | Games, AR or apps needing advanced device features |
For most Dubai business apps, Flutter is the sensible choice. If your idea needs advanced device features, we will tell you during scoping.
What's Included in Every App Project
- Scoping and MVP strategy: we help you decide what to build first
- UI and UX design that you approve before development
- Flutter development for iOS and Android
- Backend, APIs and admin panel to manage users and content
- Integrations such as payments, maps and push notifications, depending on your package
- Testing on real iOS and Android devices
- App Store and Google Play submission support
- Post-launch support so you do not need a new developer for every update
Start With an MVP
An MVP (minimum viable product) is a focused first version of your app with only the features needed to test your idea with real users. Launching a smaller version first lets you learn what customers actually use, fix problems early and invest in the full product with evidence. We help you decide which features go into version one and which wait.
Apps We Build for Dubai Businesses
- Booking and appointment apps for clinics, salons and services
- Delivery and on-demand apps
- Shopping and loyalty apps that extend your online store
- Real estate property search and enquiry apps
- Hospitality guest and ordering apps
- Internal business and field-team apps
Need a full business system behind the app? See custom software development in Dubai. Want AI features such as smart search or a chat assistant? See AI integration into existing software.
Built for UAE Users
- English and Arabic interfaces with right-to-left (RTL) layouts (Standard and above)
- Phone-number sign-in with one-time passwords where your app needs it
- Payment and wallet integrations through the providers you choose
- Maps, push notifications and WhatsApp links for customer support
Data privacy: The UAE has a federal data protection law (PDPL, Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021), and DIFC and ADGM have their own rules. Implementation details are still evolving, so we build apps with privacy basics such as consent, minimal data collection and secure storage. We are not a law firm, so please confirm your obligations with a legal adviser, especially for health, finance or DIFC and ADGM projects.
Is Hyperlinkes the Right Fit?
We are a good fit if you want a clearly scoped MVP or business app at a fixed price, you are comfortable working over video calls and WhatsApp, and you want to start small and grow.
A larger Dubai-based agency may suit you better if you need an on-site team in Dubai, in-person workshops, formal enterprise compliance certifications or a large government-aligned project. We would rather tell you that upfront.
How We Build Your App
- Discovery and scoping. We learn about your users and goals and agree what goes into version one.
- Fixed quote in AED. You get a written scope, price and timeline, including what is not included.
- Design approval. You review the screens and user flow before development starts.
- Development with regular demos. You see working builds as we go and give feedback.
- Testing. We test on real devices before release.
- Store submission and launch. We support you through App Store and Google Play review.
- Support and updates. We stay available after launch.
Working remotely from India. We do not have a Dubai office. Dubai is only 1.5 hours behind India, so calls and video meetings are easy to schedule, and we use WhatsApp for quick updates.

Mobile App Development FAQs
How much does mobile app development cost in Dubai?
Published Dubai guides give very different ranges. A first version (MVP) is commonly quoted at AED 10,000 to 92,000, larger apps cost much more, and one agency advertises a limited-time MVP at AED 4,999. Our packages start at AED 4,499 for an MVP, AED 6,499 for a Standard business app and AED 19,999 for Custom or Enterprise apps, excluding VAT.
Why is your MVP so affordable?
We build iOS and Android from one Flutter codebase, keep the first version focused on one core journey and work remotely from India. If your app needs more screens, payments, Arabic or complex integrations, the Standard and Custom packages cover them.
Why do you quote a fixed price instead of an hourly rate?
Dubai agency hourly rates quoted in 2026 guides range from about AED 150 to over AED 500, which makes total cost hard to predict. A written scope with a fixed price lets you plan your budget. Any change outside the agreed scope is quoted separately before we start it.
How long does it take to build a first app?
A focused MVP typically takes 8 to 14 weeks, depending on features and how quickly you approve designs and provide content. Larger apps take longer, and your quote includes a timeline.
Should I build a native app or a cross-platform app?
For most business apps, cross-platform with Flutter is the smarter choice: one codebase for iOS and Android, faster launch, lower cost and near-native performance. Native suits games, AR or apps that need advanced device features.
What is an MVP?
An MVP is a focused first version with only the features needed to test your idea with real users. It reduces cost and risk, and you expand the app based on what users actually do.
Can you build for both iOS and Android?
Yes. With Flutter we build both from one codebase, so you launch on both platforms together.
Do you help with App Store and Google Play submission?
Yes. We prepare the app for submission and support you through review. Apple and Google make the final decision on approval, and review times and requests for changes are outside our control. The developer accounts are held in your name.
Do you build the backend and admin panel too?
Yes. We build the backend, APIs and an admin panel so you can manage users, content and orders.
Can you build an Arabic (RTL) app?
Yes, on Standard and Custom packages. We build English and Arabic apps with proper right-to-left layouts.
What ongoing costs should I plan for after launch?
Plan for cloud hosting, paid third-party services, developer accounts and maintenance. Guides such as Skimbox suggest budgeting roughly 15 to 25 percent of the build cost per year for updates and support. We outline these costs in your quote.
How do you handle user data and privacy?
We build with privacy basics such as consent, minimal data collection and secure storage. The UAE federal data protection law applies to apps handling personal data of people in the UAE, and DIFC and ADGM have their own rules. We are not a law firm, so please confirm your obligations with a legal adviser.
Can you add AI features to my app?
Yes. We can add features such as chat assistants, smart search and recommendations. See AI integration into existing software.
Can you improve or take over an existing app?
Often yes. We review the code and architecture first, then recommend whether to improve it or rebuild parts of it. We confirm this during scoping.
Do you have an office in Dubai?
No. We work with Dubai clients remotely from Udaipur, India, through video calls and WhatsApp. Dubai is only 1.5 hours behind India, so scheduling is easy.
