How much does an app cost in Albania?
At Rritje Sade a prototype starts at 24,900 ALL, a complete iOS app submitted to the App Store starts at 59,900 ALL, and the same app on iOS and Android starts at 89,900 ALL. Apps with payments, realtime features, or integrations into existing systems take a custom quote. These are one-off build prices; developer accounts are paid separately to Apple and Google.
How long does it take to build an app?
A prototype takes four to six weeks. A complete iOS app takes ten to fourteen weeks from kickoff to submission, with the last two weeks being beta and the submission itself. App Review usually takes one to three days, though it can run longer if they ask for changes. For both platforms, allow roughly four more weeks.
Do you build Android apps too?
Yes, in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, either as an Android-only app or alongside iOS in the Two-Platform tier. Our published apps so far are on iOS, which is why this page shows no Android screenshots: we do not have a public one yet and we do not display work that does not exist. If Android is your only platform, say so in the first conversation and the quote is calculated differently.
Why does an iOS app cost more than an Android one?
Because it is more work for the same scope. App Review is stricter and a rejection takes time to resolve; the frameworks that make an iPhone app feel genuinely native, such as widgets, Sign in with Apple, and in-app purchases, are built separately; and testing runs across several device generations. That is why in the Two-Platform tier adding Android costs less than the iOS build costs on its own.
Who owns the code and the developer account?
You do. The Apple and Google accounts are opened in your business's name from the start, not ours, and the repository is handed over in full. That means the app stays yours even if you decide to continue with someone else, and updates never have to pass through an account you do not control.
Do I pay Apple and Google separately?
Yes. Apple charges $99 a year for the developer account and Google charges $25 once. These are paid directly to them on your own business card and do not pass through us. If the app sells anything inside it, Apple and Google also take a percentage of that sale under their own rules.
How much does it cost to build a mobile app in Albania?
The cost of a mobile app in Albania depends on the platform, the number of screens, and how much logic sits behind them. Rritje Sade, a studio in Tirana, publishes its pricing in Albanian lekë: a single-platform prototype starts at 24,900 ALL, a complete iOS app with a backend, accounts, and App Store submission starts at 59,900 ALL, and the same app on iOS and Android starts at 89,900 ALL. Apps with in-app payments, realtime features, or integrations into existing systems take a custom quote. An iOS app costs more than the same Android app because App Review, the Apple frameworks, and device testing are additional work. These are one-off build prices; the Apple developer account ($99 a year) and the Google one ($25 once) are paid separately and stay in the client's name.
