Native iOS and Android, or a single React Native or Flutter codebase across both. PixelCrayons is your point of contact: we scope which shape fits and write the proposal. Our sister company ValueCoders builds it, under that one proposal and one account team, so you sign once for the whole app.

PixelCrayons is your point of contact for a mobile app; our sister company ValueCoders builds it, whichever platform shape fits, under one proposal and one account team. That covers native iOS and Android engineering, and cross-platform builds in React Native or Flutter. PixelCrayons scopes which shape actually fits your product and budget, writes the proposal, and stays your account owner throughout, including for any website, store or marketing work that runs alongside the app. Building a mobile shopping app on top of an existing store instead? See eCommerce App Development, which covers that store-app case specifically.

Whichever platform fits
iOS, Android, React Native or Flutter.
01
iOS
Native Swift/SwiftUI apps engineered by ValueCoders for full platform fidelity: the interactions, performance and App Store conventions users already expect from iOS.
ValueCoders
02
Android
Native Kotlin apps engineered by ValueCoders across the device range Android actually ships on, not just the reference handset a demo gets tested on.
ValueCoders
03
React Native
One codebase shipping to iOS and Android together, engineered by ValueCoders where a shared codebase is the right trade-off against two fully native builds.
ValueCoders
04
Flutter
A single Dart codebase and a consistent UI across platforms, engineered by ValueCoders, the other cross-platform route with its own trade-offs against React Native.
ValueCoders
05
One point of contact, one proposal
Whichever platform shape fits, PixelCrayons scopes it, writes one proposal, and stays your account owner throughout, including for any website, store or marketing work that runs alongside the app.
Every engagement
04
How it works
Brief to a proposal naming both scopes.
01
Days 1 to 2
Brief & platform choice
You describe the app and its constraints; PixelCrayons scopes whether native iOS/Android or a cross-platform React Native/Flutter build actually fits.
02
Complete brief
One proposal, priced
A written proposal naming the platform decision, the build owner and the price, with PixelCrayons and ValueCoders' responsibilities both stated plainly.
03
Week 1
ValueCoders' team is assembled
ValueCoders staffs the engineering for the confirmed platform. PixelCrayons' account team stays the single point of contact for status and change requests.
04
Ongoing
One account team, whichever app you need
Sprint demos and written updates flow through the same account team regardless of who's holding the keyboard. ValueCoders is never hidden behind our name.
Inside Prism
Your engagement, week to week, in one workspace.
Where the engagement includes it, your build runs in a Prism workspace you log into: requests, approvals, the task list and the weekly review, beside the repository your team already owns.
Each decision recorded, with the expectation attached.
How we report it, in Prism
The delivery record, you can read without a stand-up.
What you receive in month one
Development is reported as artefacts in your own tools, not a status call. In the first month you receive the technical audit of the current codebase, the delivery plan broken into reviewed increments with acceptance criteria, and the environment map showing where code runs and who can deploy it. The weekly review in Prism lists what merged, what was reviewed, and what is blocked and by whom.
01Technical audit: the current codebase, its risks, and the order of fixes
02Delivery plan: increments with acceptance criteria and review owners
03Environment map: development, staging and production, and who deploys
04Weekly review in Prism: merged, in review, blocked, and the reason for each block
05Definition of done: tests, review, accessibility and performance checks per increment

Before you sign
Our commitments
Each one says where it applies and links to its full terms.
Response and start times
We typically respond within four business hours. Eligible engagements can typically start within two to three business days after scope, payment and required access are confirmed.
Business hours are Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm IST, excluding published company holidays. Typical expectations, not guaranteed service levels.
Before work starts we agree how often you get updates, what the reports cover and who sends them. You know who coordinates your engagement, who owns the work and how to escalate an issue. For hourly and retainer work, time is recorded in Workstatus, so you can see the time records behind your invoice.
Who owns the ad accounts, the data and the work?
Your materials, data and accounts remain yours, and we prefer to work in advertising and analytics accounts you own, with access delegated to our team. Agreed ownership rights in bespoke deliverables transfer under the engagement terms and applicable payment; third-party software and assets keep their licences. We do not withhold customer-owned data or accounts over a payment dispute.
What if we want to stop?
Cancellation, notice and any renewal terms are written into your proposal or statement of work before you accept it. If an engagement ends early, we hand over completed, paid-for work and list any unfinished work separately. For an eligible specialist trial, you can stop within the trial window and pay nothing for eligible trial hours.
ValueCoders, our sister company, does the engineering: native iOS, native Android, React Native and Flutter builds are their practice group-wide. PixelCrayons is your point of contact for the relationship: we scope which platform shape fits, write the single proposal, and stay your account owner throughout. ValueCoders is named plainly here and throughout delivery, never hidden behind our name.
It depends on how platform-specific the app needs to feel and how much of the codebase you want shared between iOS and Android. PixelCrayons scopes that decision against your brief and budget before the proposal is written, rather than defaulting to whichever is easiest to sell.
No, though the two link each other. This page is the general mobile app page: any native or cross-platform app, for any purpose. eCommerce App Development (/development/ecommerce/app-development) covers specifically a shopping app built on top of an existing Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento store, and includes PixelCrayons' own progressive web app and app-builder storefront work alongside the native scope. If your app is a store front end, start there instead.
One account team, for the whole relationship. ValueCoders' name and role are stated plainly in the proposal and throughout delivery, but escalation, billing coordination and status reporting all run through the same PixelCrayons account team you signed with.
There's no flat rate card: platform choice, scope and integrations set the cost, not a page count. Every proposal is scoped against your brief and itemises exactly what ships, naming which company delivers which part. Once we have a complete brief, we confirm the date you will receive your written, priced scope.
Scope the app, we'll name who does what.
A scoped, itemised proposal, naming PixelCrayons' role as your point of contact and ValueCoders' role as the engineering team, under one account owner throughout.
