Develop / Release / Host / Care

Build the app.
Back the launch.

From an iOS and Android build to store submission and the backend behind it, see what each service includes, how pricing works and what happens after launch.

Your accounts, your app. App-store accounts and any required custom domain are arranged and owned by you. Store and provider fees are not included in the development prices.
01 / From idea to release

One codebase.
Two platforms.

Our listed mobile packages use React Native, TypeScript and Expo to build for iOS and Android from one codebase. That can make iteration and maintenance more practical than two separate native builds; requirements and suitability are confirmed before we quote. Developer tools, including AI-assisted tools, still need human review and testing.

01 / DISCOVER

Start with the use case.

Clarify features, audiences, backend needs, devices and the accounts required for release.

02 / BUILD

Design and develop.

Agree on the experience, build the approved scope and check how it works across target devices.

03 / RELEASE

Submit with care.

Test, prepare store submissions through your own developer accounts, then hand over and support the agreed launch.

02 / One-time development

A build for
your ambition.

These India and international ranges are indicative planning figures, not a fixed quotation. The exact features, backend, design, integrations, timeline, taxes and third-party costs are confirmed in writing before work starts.

03 / Backend infrastructure

The part
behind the app.

App backend hosting supports agreed databases, authentication, file storage, APIs and server logic. It is not website hosting. Your selected platform and usage determine the real resources needed.

HOW BACKEND HOSTING IS BILLED

SandboxRise's app backend hosting is quoted and billed yearly in advance, separately from development, website hosting and optional App Care. Provider plans may instead be monthly or usage-based; the monthly figures below are planning equivalents, not a promise of a fixed provider invoice. The written quote sets the agreed annual amount, scope and treatment of usage changes.

01 / STARTING SCALE

1K–10K active users

Monthly planning equivalent · India₹3,000–₹15,000International$50–$200

Annualised × 12: ₹36,000–₹1,80,000 / $600–$2,400

These are illustrative scale-based budgets, not guarantees of capacity, uptime or final price. Actual storage, bandwidth, API calls and third-party usage vary. We recommend a provider and confirm the annual service quote before purchase.

Backend platforms we may recommendCompare 4 provider examples ↗

Provider information from the supplied service brief is illustrative and can change. Confirm current pricing, free-tier limits and billing directly with the provider; these are not SandboxRise annual hosting prices.

Firebase / Google

Free tier; paid services generally depend on usage.

Often useful for mobile-first launches.

Supabase

Free tier; the supplied brief lists a Pro plan at $25/month.

Postgres-backed applications.

AWS Amplify

Limited free usage; paid services generally depend on usage.

Apps already using the AWS ecosystem.

Appwrite

Free tier; the supplied brief lists paid plans from $10/month.

An open-source-oriented option.
May include, as scoped

Backend essentials.

  • Database for user data and app content
  • Login / signup and file storage
  • Push-notification infrastructure and APIs
  • Platform-dependent uptime monitoring
Not part of the hosting fee

Budget separately.

  • The app's one-time development fee
  • SMS, payment and other third-party subscriptions
  • Google / Apple developer account and store fees
  • Custom backend development beyond agreed scope
  • Website hosting or a custom domain
No domain is included. An app may not need a custom domain. If one is required for an API or related site, you arrange and own it; SandboxRise does not provide, register or renew domains.
04 / Optional ongoing support

Care for
what comes next.

Care is an optional maintenance plan after launch, billed monthly or yearly in advance as agreed. App backend hosting is not included in these prices; the suitable app hosting is quoted and charged separately on an annual basis. The included 30-day post-launch support is distinct from ongoing Care.

Response figures are targets for a first response, not guaranteed repair or platform-uptime times. Support coverage, service access and the exact number of included minor changes are recorded in the written plan. No unconfirmed business hours are assumed.

Within the right Care tier

Keep the app healthy.

Standard and Premium can include agreed crash and bug fixes, OS / dependency compatibility work, security patches and the stated minor changes; Premium adds a monthly performance report. Basic covers monitoring and backups but does not include routine fixes, security work or edits.

Outside routine Care

Quote new work first.

New screens or features, a full redesign, changed integrations, server migration, marketing / App Store Optimization, content writing and photography are not included. Provider incidents may require escalation and are not automatically fixable by SandboxRise.

05 / After-launch requests

Small tweak
or bigger move?

We confirm scope, time and price before extra work begins. Standard and Premium include their agreed number of eligible minor changes each month; Basic includes none. Work outside the allowance follows the relevant request rate.

For frequent or mixed requests

Prefer an hourly estimate?

Minimum billing is 30 minutes. We share estimated time before work starts; hourly and per-request pricing are alternative ways to quote the same task, not charges stacked on top of one another.

India / hour₹1,500–₹3,000International / hour$30–$80

A straightforward request process.

  1. Send the request by email or WhatsApp.
  2. We review scope, timing and any cost.
  3. You approve before additional work starts.
  4. We complete the agreed task and update you.

Minor changes may be targeted within 1–2 working days after approval, subject to scope and availability; major changes follow the written quotation timeline.

06 / Working together

Clear inputs.
Clear handover.

These are public service guidelines, not a signed contract or individual proposal. A written quotation confirms deliverables, third-party costs, support coverage, dates and commercial terms.

What we need from you

Bring the essentials.

  • Your app idea and feature list
  • Brand assets, colours and logo
  • Text, images and other content
  • Backend and integration requirements
  • Access to relevant third-party accounts
  • Your Google / Apple developer accounts
Revisions and scope

Room to refine.

Two design-phase revision rounds and two development-phase rounds are included in the agreed scope. Additional rounds, new features or a complete change to an approved design are quoted separately.

Store review

We can prepare and submit the app through your accounts; Apple and Google control their own review outcomes and timing. Submission is not a guarantee of approval.

An indicative project rhythm

From brief to handover.

  1. 01 / DiscoveryRequirements & content1–3 days
  2. 02 / DesignLayout & approval3–7 days
  3. 03 / DevelopmentBuild the agreed app10–60 days
  4. 04 / TestingCheck target devices3–7 days
  5. 05 / SubmissionStore review allowance1–7 days*
  6. 06 / HandoverWalkthrough & support1 day

*Indicative only: third-party store review may take longer. The project schedule depends on package scope, content readiness and feedback; these phase figures are not a guaranteed additive delivery date.

Payments and cancellation

Confirm the whole schedule.

Indicative stages: 40–50% at project start, 25–30% after design approval, and the remaining 20–25% before launch. The signed schedule must total 100% (for example, 50% + 30% + 20%). App backend hosting is yearly in advance and separate from Care, which may be monthly or yearly in advance.

Proposed payment methods include UPI / bank transfer (India) and PayPal / Wise / Payoneer (international), subject to confirmation in your quotation. Work may be paused for overdue payments under the agreement. An advance may become non-refundable once agreed work begins, subject to the written terms and applicable law; cancellation is reconciled against completed work and outstanding amounts. Care cancellation typically requires 30 days’ notice as agreed.

Ownership and communication

Keep control of your app.

After final payment, the agreed app deliverables and source code are transferred to you, subject to third-party licences and account terms. Store accounts remain in your name; you may appoint another developer. Portfolio use is discussed with you and can be declined.

Project and support communication can use email and, where agreed, WhatsApp; Premium calls are arranged as part of its agreed coverage. We do not publish unconfirmed support working hours.

Useful answers

Before
we begin.

Does an App Care Plan include backend hosting?

No. Unlike the separate website Care offer, these App Care ranges cover maintenance only. App backend hosting is selected and billed yearly in advance as a separate line item. Website hosting is a different service again.

Do you provide domains or app-store accounts?

No. You arrange and own any custom domain and the Google / Apple developer accounts. SandboxRise does not provide, register or renew domains. Store fees and other third-party subscriptions are separate; store approval is controlled by the platform.

What happens after the included 30-day support?

The package includes 30 days of support for the delivered scope. Ongoing upkeep can continue under an optional App Care Plan, or we can quote suitable one-time changes and bug fixes. New features are quoted separately.

Which technologies and devices are these packages for?

The listed mobile packages use React Native, TypeScript and Expo for iOS and Android. We check device, backend, integration and store requirements before confirming feasibility and the written scope.

Are the published prices a final quote?

No. They are indicative ranges. A written quotation confirms the included work, payment milestones, valid dates, app backend hosting, any Care coverage, taxes and third-party costs before you approve a project.
