You have an app idea but no idea what sits behind it.
We design the whole system.
Accounts, data, notifications, payments and an admin dashboard for you. The app is the visible part; we build the rest too.

Mobile app development
Mobile apps with a real backend and a web dashboard to match.
Most apps fail on what sits behind them: the accounts, the data and the admin tools. We build the app and everything it needs to run, including apps that control real hardware.
You’re probably here because…
The questions we hear most from people planning an app.
Your app needs to talk to a device, a tag or a sensor.
We have done that before.
The EHEIM app controls filters, lights and heaters, and Sharewear’s NFC tags open a profile when tapped by any phone.
You are unsure whether to build native, cross-platform, or just a web app.
We’ll give you a straight answer.
If a web app on the phone does the job, it is cheaper and we’ll say so. If you need the camera, Bluetooth or offline use, we explain the options and the cost of each.
You were quoted for iOS and Android separately, twice the price.
One codebase where it makes sense.
Cross-platform frameworks usually cover both stores from one project. We only go native when a device feature really needs it.
What we build
Apps with the backend, dashboard and integrations they need to run.
Apps that control hardware
Pairing, live status and control for connected devices, tested against the real hardware, not just a simulator.
EHEIM Digital Connect.
Safety and ID apps
NFC and QR profiles that open on any phone, with the owner controlling what a stranger can see.
Sharewear: ~15,000 subscribers.
Marketplace and hiring apps
Two sides, profiles, matching and payments, with a dashboard for you to run it.
FlyHire went live in 60 days.
Admin dashboards
A web dashboard to manage users, content and payments without calling a developer.
Notifications and payments
Push notifications, in-app messages and card payments through Stripe or your provider.
Apps and platforms we built
We say plainly which clients we still work with.
EHEIM Digital Connect
The mobile app that controls EHEIM’s connected aquarium equipment: filters, lighting, heating and feeding from one screen, tested against real devices.
- Hardware
- tested on real devices
- Kotlin
- Ionic
- IoT
Sharewear
Bands, watches and rings with NFC tags that let a stranger reach family or services if the wearer is lost or hurt. We built the platform behind them from scratch.
- ~45,000
- bands sold
- ~15,000
- subscribers
- NestJS
- AWS
FlyHire
A hiring platform connecting pilots, mechanics, instructors and dispatchers with employers, with Stripe payments. Our fastest MVP: kick-off to live in 60 days, and still in production.

How an app build runs
Designs are approved before code, and store submission is part of launch.
- Day 1
A 30-minute call
Bring the problem and how you handle it today. We ask questions and tell you honestly what we would build first. We won’t pitch at you.
- Next
Written proposal and fixed quote
What is in scope, what goes on the backlog, the stack we’d use and why, the timeline and one price.
- Week 1
Onboarding
A kick-off meeting, a shared Slack channel and access to the repository. Rehan is your day-to-day contact.
- Design
Designs you approve
We design the main screens and journeys first. Nothing gets coded until you have signed the designs off.
- Build
Architecture first, then code
We agree the architecture before writing code, then build with updates twice a week on Slack. Any new request is logged as extra hours and reported weekly.
- Launch
Live, handed over, supported
Deployed to production with your Git repositories and documentation handed over. Bug fixes are free for the first two months.
What an app costs
Real ranges from our own projects. Your number comes from the scoping call, as a fixed quote.
Smallest project we take$5,000A tightly scoped build with one core workflow.
Typical MVP$8,000–$12,000Accounts, the core workflow, an admin view and approved designs.
Typical project$10,000–$30,000Several user roles, integrations and reporting.
Included as standard
- UI/UX design, approved before any code
- Two-factor login and OWASP Top 10 security practices
- Deployment to production
- Git repositories and written documentation
- Two months of free bug fixes after launch
- Help publishing to the App Store and Google Play
Not included
- Apple and Google developer account fees
- Payment gateways and other premium integrations, quoted separately
- Graphic design, video and animation
- Features added mid-build, logged as extra hours
After the free two months, maintenance is $700 a month. New features are quoted as you need them, or you can have a dedicated engineer from $2,500 a month.
Are we the right team for your app?
We’re a good fit if
- The app needs a backend, accounts and data, not just screens
- It needs to work with a device, a tag or a payment
- You want to own the code and the store listings
- You can test builds on your phone every week
We’re probably not if
- You need a game or heavy 3D graphics
- Requests for new features get reported as bugs so they don’t count as scope
- You mainly need graphic design, video or animation
- The budget is under $5,000

Platform-level reviews of the agency — not cherry-picked project comments.
What I love about Team7 is that they always say: No worries, we can find a solution. This is the mindset of builders, creators, people who do not have fear, the partner you need if you want to excel.
Working with Mo and his team over the past year has been nothing short of exceptional. I was admittedly sceptical about investing such a large amount, but results exceeded every expectation.
Their responsiveness and willingness to take on our challenging task were impressive.
They are amazing and consistently exceed expectations. They go above and beyond what is asked of them and their communication is top notch, so much so that we joke that they never sleep. The best of the best.
Common questions
Straight answers on platforms, cost and the app stores.
Ask us something elseNative or cross-platform?
Cross-platform covers iOS and Android from one project and suits most business apps. Native makes sense when the app leans heavily on device features. The EHEIM app uses Kotlin on Android with Ionic. We recommend per project and explain why in the proposal.
How much does an app cost?
The smallest project we take on is $5,000. A first version usually costs $8,000 to $12,000, and a fuller app with payments, roles and a dashboard lands between $10,000 and $30,000. You get a fixed quote after the scoping call.
Can the app work with our hardware?
Yes, if the device exposes a way to talk to it, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC or a cloud API. We test against the real device during the build, as we did for EHEIM.
Do you handle the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. We prepare the builds and help you through submission and review. The developer accounts are in your name, so you own the listings.
Who owns the code?
You do. At handover you get the Git repositories and written documentation. There is nothing tying the software back to us, so you can take it to an in-house team whenever you like.
What happens after launch?
Bug fixes are free for two months. After that, maintenance is $700 a month. New features are quoted as you need them, or you can have a dedicated engineer from $2,500 a month.
Who will I talk to, and how often?
Rehan, one of our two founders, is your day-to-day contact. You get updates on Slack twice a week and can see the code in your repository at any time. We split working hours between us to cover US, UK and Australian time zones, and we usually reply within an hour, sometimes the next morning.
