    What mobile app development costs in Lahore

    Mobile App Development in Lahore runs between Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 75,000. Most agencies in Pakistan will not publish that range at all — we do, because hiding it only wastes everyone's time.

    The spread is wide because scope genuinely varies. We build mobile apps that work on the mid-range Android phones most Pakistani users carry, handle poor connectivity gracefully, and get through App Store and Play Store review the first time.

    Typical delivery is 8–20 weeks.

    Why Lahore specifically

    Pakistan's second-largest economy and its cultural centre. A dense mix of software houses, textile exporters and a fast-growing restaurant and hospitality sector, anchored by the country's largest concentration of universities.

    Locally that matters because: Lahore has the strongest food-delivery and restaurant-tech market in Pakistan. Restaurant groups here typically need multi-outlet ordering with per-branch menus and live kitchen routing, not a single-location storefront.

    The businesses we most often work with here are restaurant chains, textile exporters needing b2b catalogues, and education businesses moving courses online.

    What you actually get for that money

    Every engagement at this price includes:

  1. Native or cross-platform app for Android and iOS
  2. Backend API and admin panel
  3. Push notifications
  4. Analytics and crash reporting
  5. Store submission and approval handling
  6. Source code and store account handover
  7. What drives the price up or down

    The largest cost factors are scope, integrations and content volume. A Lahore business with a clear brief and prepared content sits at the lower end of the range; one needing discovery, custom integrations and content production sits at the upper end.

    Industries in Lahore that commonly commission this work include software & it services, textiles, food & hospitality, education.

    How the work runs

    Scope — Feature list split into an MVP and a later phase, so you launch sooner.

    Design — Screens designed and prototyped for testing before development.

    Build — Two-week sprints with an installable build at the end of each.

    Test — Real devices across Android versions, plus poor-connectivity testing.

    Launch — Store listings, screenshots, submission and review handled by us.

    Local industries this serves in Lahore

    Lahore runs on software & it services, textiles, food & hospitality, education, retail, real estate. Restaurant chains, textile exporters needing B2B catalogues, and education businesses moving courses online.

    Because of that, the builds we deliver here lean towards native or cross-platform app for android and ios; backend api and admin panel; push notifications.

    Areas we work across: Gulberg, DHA Lahore, Johar Town, Model Town, Bahria Town, Township.

    Common questions before starting

    How much does an app cost in Pakistan? A focused MVP starts around Rs. 50,000 at this service's floor. A full-featured app with payments, chat and an admin panel runs Rs. 75,000 and up. Feature count, not platform, drives the cost.

    Native or cross-platform? Cross-platform (Flutter or React Native) for most business apps — one codebase, both platforms, lower cost. Native when you need heavy graphics or deep device features.

    Will it work on cheaper Android phones? We test on mid-range devices deliberately, because that is what most of your users have. An app tested only on flagships fails in the real market.
