Mobile apps built
atom by atom.
BuildHive is a senior U.S. studio engineering custom iOS & Android apps — 150+ shipped, trusted by teams at Samsung, Apple & Marriott.
THE ADVANTAGE
Why the hive wins.
Senior engineers only
No juniors learning on your budget. The people who scope your app are the ones who build it.
Native feel, either path
Swift & Kotlin when you need the metal; React Native & Flutter when speed-to-market wins. We pick what fits — not what's trendy.
Design-led, not design-later
Your app ships looking like the pitch deck, not the wireframe. Motion and polish are scoped from day one — this page is the demo.
We stay through launch
App Store submission, analytics, crash monitoring and the first scale spikes. We don't disappear at handoff.
BUILD SEQUENCE
Idea → App Store
in four moves.
Discovery
We pressure-test the idea, map the MVP, and lock a fixed scope and timeline before a line of code.
Design
Flows, UI and a clickable prototype you can feel — no surprises in the build.
Build
Two-week sprints with a live TestFlight/Play build every cycle. You watch it come together.
Launch & scale
Store submission, monitoring, and iteration on real usage data. Then we grow it with you.

BEFORE YOU ASK
Questions, answered straight.
Most MVPs land between $35k–$90k depending on scope, platforms and integrations. We give you a fixed quote after a free strategy session — no vague hourly black holes.
A focused MVP typically ships in 8–14 weeks. We work in two-week sprints, so you have a working build in your hands within the first month.
Both, usually from a single cross-platform codebase to save time and budget — but we go fully native when performance or platform APIs demand it. We'll recommend the right call for your product.
Completely. You own the repository, the designs and all intellectual property. We'll hand over everything and sign an NDA up front if you'd like.
We handle store submission and offer ongoing support plans for monitoring, updates and new features. Many clients keep us on retainer to scale.
