How we build

From idea to App Store
in four steps.

The same simple flow for every project. Most MVPs launch in 6–10 weeks depending on scope — the weeks below show a typical plan. You always know what's happening, what we need from you and what you'll get.

    Week 1

    Discover

    We talk through your idea, your users and your goals in one workshop, then agree the plan with you.

FAQ

Questions founders ask us.

Pricing

How much does it cost?

Every project gets one fixed price, agreed in writing before any work begins. After a 30-minute call we send you the scope, the timeline and the price, so the invoice never surprises you. What shapes the price: the platforms, the number of screens, and how much backend and AI the product needs.

How do payments work?

The fixed price is split into milestones that follow the plan: one payment to start, then payments as design, build and launch are delivered. The schedule is agreed in writing before any work begins, so you always know what’s due and when.

What if I need more features after we start?

Just tell us. We estimate the extra time and cost, and nothing changes until you approve it. If it can wait, we can also plan it for the first update after launch.

Development

Can you build an app from just an idea?

Yes, most of our projects start that way. Week one turns your idea into a clear plan: who it’s for, the features for version one and the right platform. You don’t need wireframes or a technical background.

How long does it take to build an app?

Most MVPs launch in 6–10 weeks. Week one ends with a written plan and a fixed timeline, and from then on you get a new build to test every Friday until launch day.

Do you provide UI/UX design?

Yes. Design is part of every project, not an add-on. We map the user flows, design every screen and give you a clickable prototype to try on your phone, and you approve it before we start building.

Native or React Native — which do I need?

Native (SwiftUI and Kotlin) when the feel, the performance or deep platform features matter. React Native when one codebase for both stores is the smarter use of your budget. We recommend one in week one and explain why, even when the cheaper option is the right one.

Do you build web platforms and SaaS too?

Yes. We build dashboards, admin panels and full SaaS products in Next.js and React, with the APIs and databases behind them. BIB, a practice management platform for professional-services firms, is one we designed and built end to end.

Can you work on an existing app?

Yes. We start with a short review of your code and setup, then tell you honestly what’s worth keeping, what to fix and what, if anything, to rebuild. From there we can fix issues, add features or take over the app completely.

Ownership

Who owns the code and the idea?

You do, from day one. The code lives in your repository, the apps are published under your own store accounts and the backend runs in your cloud. We sign an NDA before you share any details, as standard.

Who will I actually work with?

The two founders, directly. The people on your first call are the people who design and build your product. No account managers and no hand-offs, so nothing gets lost between what you ask for and what gets built.

Support

Do you work with international clients?

Yes. We’re based in India and work remotely with clients anywhere. We schedule calls at times that overlap with yours, keep decisions in writing, and you get a new build to try every Friday, wherever you are.

What happens after launch?

We take the app through App Store and Google Play review, then set up analytics and crash reporting so you can see how people use it. After that you can keep us on a monthly support plan for updates, fixes and new features, or take over with full documentation and a clean handover.

Why we started Creatist

We started Creatist to build the way we always wanted to, where the people making the decisions are the people building the product.

Before Creatist was a studio, it was just the two of us, building. Our own apps, late into the night, sweating the details most people never notice: how a screen settles into place, how a button feels under your thumb, the half-second that makes an app feel fast.

We still work that way. No layers between your idea and the people building it, no hand-offs, no one translating what you meant. Just two builders who care how a product looks, how it feels and how it holds up, and who would rather make one thing properly than ten things quickly.
