Custom app development starts with the business decision. We choose web, iOS and Android, or cross-platform delivery around your users, the work the software must do and the investment you can make.
Your designers and engineers work in one team, from the first workshop through to launch.
Scoping & Design defines the requirements, designs and fixed-cost Statement of Work before development begins.
We weigh scope, budget and timeline together, and audit an existing platform before recommending what to change.
Warranty, monitoring and support, with product retainers available as your priorities evolve. 7+ year average partnership.
Start with a free discovery call: one problem, three options with honest trade-offs, one recommendation. If we work together, these are the three phases that follow.
A free, no-obligation conversation to find the right path for your product before you commit a dollar.
Requirements, design and a fixed-cost Statement of Work, agreed before development begins.
A focused MVP build takes 3 to 4 months after Scoping & Design. Your product scope sets the milestones.
Choose support for your product: warranty, monitoring and technical support, or ongoing product development.
Client perspectives on the products, operations and partnerships behind the work.
PixelForce have been a key factor in our success. They have made our operations and systems seamless with data that enables the business and key stakeholders to make quick decisions.
PixelForce's ability to break down complex projects and explain them is fantastic. They have improved our efficiency, revenue, and decision-making speed with insight-driven reporting that genuinely enables the business.
PixelForce delivered our app on time and within budget, helping us acquire over 30 million users. Their ability to provide quality and speed at a reasonable price has been impressive. They have been instrumental in establishing SWEAT as a leading global fitness brand.
The PixelForce team is incredibly hardworking, but more importantly, they are genuinely great people to work with. They delivered an app with a 4.8-star rating, hitting every milestone on time with complete transparency.
The PixelForce team has been fantastic with building an operations portal that could bring the Fitstop business to the next level.
After being managed by another agency, I approached PixelForce with numerous issues affecting the TWC app. PXF team wasn’t deterred, and their confidence in stabilising and improving the app was truly reassuring.
PixelForce acts as true partners, not just vendors. Since 2021, their expertise has helped us acquire over 40,000 paying subscribers and consistently top the App Store charts. They are always willing to help - invaluable to our success.
PixelForce turned our ideas into a working app that has received fantastic feedback from our members. The team is direct, honest, and makes continuous improvements. They have helped bring the dream of Pilates Obsession to life - better than we ever expected.
Straight answers about the call, the work and what you are committing to.
In a free 45-minute conversation, we discuss your business, the people who will use the software, and the problem you need to solve. We sign a mutual NDA first, talk through budget, timeline and scope, then give a 1-3-1 recommendation: one problem, three options with their trade-offs, and the one we recommend. You leave with a clear next step and no obligation to proceed.
No. Bring the problem, your goals and anything you already know about your users, budget or timeline. If you have an existing platform or a draft brief, that helps us understand the starting point. The detailed requirements and designs are developed during Scoping & Design, after we agree the right approach.
If you are planning a first release, our glossary explains a minimum viable product (MVP).
Yes. We start with a technical audit to understand the code, architecture, performance and outstanding issues. That informs a plan for stabilisation, modernisation or rebuilding where needed. The discovery call helps establish the starting point; it does not replace the audit. Read about our app rescue and modernisation service.
The main cost drivers are scope and feature count, the number of platforms, backend work, third-party integrations, compliance obligations and the scale being built for. We discuss your budget early, then shape the scope around it. The development figure comes out of Scoping & Design, with a fixed-cost Statement of Work agreed before the build begins.
Our app development cost guide explains these drivers. For the basics, see mobile app development in the glossary.
For a focused MVP, the build takes 3 to 4 months after Scoping & Design. That first phase defines what to build, what to leave out and the milestones in the Statement of Work.
Revia reached number 3 in Apple's Health and Fitness category within 48 hours of launch, after a 4-month build. Your schedule depends on scope, platforms, integrations, content readiness and client review. Testing and submission are planned into the build; public launch remains subject to app store approval.
For a custom build, the project IP transfers to you upon full payment under the Services Agreement. Your IP is hosted on your own infrastructure. After the discovery call, you decide whether to proceed to Scoping & Design, which produces the requirements, designs and fixed-cost Statement of Work. There is no obligation to proceed from the call, and no development quote before that blueprint is complete.
Our delivery choices are explicit: 100% in-house development, a blueprint before the build, and technology chosen around your users and business requirements. We assess an existing platform before recommending changes, and weigh budget, timeline and scope together. Warranty, monitoring and support continue after launch, with product retainers available for ongoing improvement. See how to choose an app development company for the criteria to compare.
Start with attributable work. We built and scaled SWEAT - $400M acquisition. We built and still operate EzLicence - $100M+ annual bookings.
