Android app development: what UK businesses should know

The matmad team·

Android reaches the largest share of phones worldwide, which makes it a strong platform for many UK businesses. Here is what to expect when building an Android app, without the jargon.

The typical process

  • Discovery and feature scoping
  • UX flows and prototypes
  • Build and on-device testing
  • Beta release and QA
  • Play Store submission and launch

What it costs

A cross-platform Android app starts from around £6,500, and because the codebase can also ship to iOS, you can add the App Store for far less than a second native build. Price scales with features and backend complexity.

Play Store submission

Publishing involves store assets, a listing, App Store Optimisation and Google's review. We handle the whole submission process so your launch is smooth.

Keeping budgets sensible

Start with a focused first version, ship to real users, and expand based on feedback. We build cross-platform by default to keep costs down while reaching both stores.
