We build mobile apps for businesses where the product is the app — and for businesses where the app is one channel among many. Either way, the same engineering discipline applies: thoughtful UX, solid architecture, App Store launch readiness.
An app is the right investment when your value proposition genuinely requires one — push notifications, offline use, hardware access (camera, GPS, sensors), high-frequency repeat use, or platform-specific commerce. The wrong investment when a responsive website would solve the same problem at a tenth of the cost (most “marketing apps” fit this category), when you have not yet validated the underlying product (build a web MVP first), or when you do not have budget for the post-launch maintenance retainer (apps without maintenance break within 12 months guaranteed).
Building apps for Pakistani users requires specific engineering choices most international agencies overlook. First, device fragmentation — most users are on mid-range Android (Infinix, Tecno, Vivo, Xiaomi) running Android 9–13 on 3–4GB RAM, not the high-end Pixel the developer uses; we test on actual mid-tier hardware before release. Second, network reality — 4G is widespread but inconsistent, and many users routinely switch to 3G or Wi-Fi calling, so offline-first architecture and aggressive caching matter. Third, payment integration — JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast, NayaPay, and card-on-file via local PSPs (Safepay, PayFast) are non-negotiable for any commerce app targeting Pakistan. Fourth, language and right-to-left — proper Urdu support including Nastaliq fonts where appropriate, not just translation.
Fixed-fee project work, with payment milestoned to design approval, alpha, beta, and store-submission stages. Honest ranges: MVP scope (one platform, 4–6 core features, basic backend) PKR 800,000 to PKR 2,500,000; production app on both platforms with full backend, push, payments, analytics PKR 2,500,000 to PKR 8,000,000; enterprise app with complex integrations PKR 8,000,000+. Maintenance retainer post-launch: PKR 80,000 to PKR 250,000 per month, covering OS updates, SDK refreshes, bug fixes, and minor feature work.
Listing copy, keywords, icon, screenshots — the same care our SEO team brings to web rankings, applied to App Store search.
Most apps need a marketing site, paid acquisition, and lifecycle email to grow. That means web design, PPC and email marketing alongside the app build. We can run all four. Tell us about the product.
This page is full of numbers. Here is how to check them before you take the call: read our 212 Google Business reviews (the link goes straight to the Google Maps listing — search “One Source Soft Karachi” if you prefer). We are also listed on Clutch where buyers leave verified reviews. Anyone in Mobile Apps who is not happy to point you at a public review profile is asking you to take it on faith, and that is rarely how good agency relationships start.
iOS vs Android first for a Pakistani app launch? Android share, income tiers, and JazzCash/Easypaisa realities decide it. A senior dev's sequencing playbook.

Native if you need deep OS integration, heavy graphics, or absolute peak performance. React Native or Flutter for most business apps where you want one codebase across iOS and Android and faster delivery. We use both and will recommend honestly based on what your app actually needs to do.
MVP scope (one platform, 4–6 core features, basic backend): PKR 800,000–2,500,000. Production app on both platforms with full backend, push, payments, and analytics: PKR 2,500,000–8,000,000. Enterprise app with complex integrations: PKR 8,000,000+. Fixed-fee after scoping.
MVP: 12–16 weeks from kickoff to App Store. Full production v1.0: 16–28 weeks. Add 3–6 weeks if you need a custom backend or third-party integrations (payments, mapping, IoT).
Yes — full submission, including review preparation, screenshots, store copy, and handling rejection cycles. App Store rejection is common on first submission (we expect it) and we handle the back-and-forth.
Maintenance retainer covers iOS/Android OS updates (mandatory every year), SDK updates, bug fixes, store policy compliance, and minor feature additions. Typical retainer: PKR 80,000–250,000 per month depending on app complexity. Without this, apps break within 12 months guaranteed.
Yes — we target Android API 24 (Android 7.0 Nougat) and above as standard, which covers 96%+ of Pakistani Android users in 2026. Older targets possible for specific markets, with documented performance trade-offs.
You do, with full IP transfer and source code handover on payment milestones. App Store and Play Store accounts can be your accounts or ours, your call — we recommend yours so you maintain control if you ever change agencies.
Our team is based in Karachi but we deliver mobile app development for clients in every major Pakistani city. Async-friendly, with weekly synchronous reviews adapted to your timezone.
