What we build
Apps that earn their place on the home screen.
Most Perth businesses don't need a moonshot. They need an app that does one job really well for their customers or their team. That's what we build.
Customer apps
Bookings, ordering, loyalty, memberships and customer accounts. A direct line to your regulars, with push notifications instead of paid ads.
Staff & field apps
Rosters, time clocks, checklists, job sheets, inspections with photos, and route planning for people on the road. Built for gloves, sun glare and patchy signal.
Companion apps
Already have a web platform, booking system or CRM? We put it in your customers' pockets, connected to the systems you already run.
Startup MVPs
Got an idea and a budget? We help you cut it to the version worth testing, then build it properly so it doesn't need a rewrite when it takes off.
Sport, events & community
Match-day tools, fitness testing, umpire appointments, club rosters. It's a big part of our own portfolio, and it's a lot of what makes Perth tick.
Watch, widgets & hardware
Apple Watch and Wear OS, home-screen widgets, Live Activities, Bluetooth buttons, camera and sensor timing. The things off-the-shelf app builders can't do.
Track record
We've built apps that Western Australians use every day.
Before Perth App Dev, our founders led the digital transformation at WARRRL, the organisation that runs WA's Containers for Change scheme. Kristen led the program; David architected the Containers for Change Collect App and the platform behind it.
That work won national and state innovation awards. More importantly, it taught us how to ship software that ordinary people pick up and use without a manual, at a scale where small mistakes get noticed fast.

Why it costs less
Agency quality without the agency overhead.
A custom app from a big agency can easily run past $100,000. Ours don't, and it isn't because we cut corners. It's how we work.
Small senior team
No account managers, no juniors learning on your budget. The people who scope your app are the people who build it.
Proven building blocks
Sign-in, payments, push notifications and store releases are solved problems we've shipped nine times. You pay for what makes your app different.
One codebase where it fits
Most apps run on iPhone and Android from one shared codebase. We only go fully native when the app really needs it.
Scoped before we quote
A short online brief replaces weeks of workshops. You get a fixed price for a clearly defined first version, so the budget doesn't drift.
Pricing
Honest prices, fixed before we start.
Every app is different, so we quote each one. But here's where it starts, and here's what's always included.
Apps from
$5,750 inc. GST
Fixed price, quoted within two business days of your brief. Most first versions are live in 4 to 6 weeks.

What moves the price
How many screens and user types there are, whether you need a new backend or we connect to one you have, payments or bookings, offline use, and device features like the camera, location, Bluetooth or a watch app. The scoping brief covers all of it, so the quote holds.
How it works
Four steps from idea to App Store.
STEP 1 · SCOPE
Tell us about your idea
About 12 minutes on our online scoping brief: the problem, who will use the app and the must-have features. No meetings needed to get started.
STEP 2 · QUOTE
Your plan in two days
Within two business days: the approach we recommend (iOS, Android or both), a fixed price and a timeline. Then a call to talk it through.
STEP 3 · BUILD
Design, build, test
Clickable designs first, so you can feel the app before we build it. Then regular builds on your own phone through TestFlight and Google Play testing.
STEP 4 · LAUNCH
Live on the stores
We prepare the listings, handle Apple and Google review, and launch. After that we stay on for fixes, OS updates and the next version.
Being straight with you
When we're a good fit, and when we're not.
We're a great fit for
- Perth and WA businesses that want a custom app without agency prices
- A focused first version you can launch, learn from and grow
- Apps for your staff, your customers or your members
- A phone app for a web platform you already run
- Apps that need hardware: watch, camera, Bluetooth, precise timing
- Taking over a half-finished app from another developer
We're probably not right for
- 3D games: that's a specialist games studio.
- "Build me the next Uber" on a $5,750 budget: we'll help you find the version that fits the budget instead.
- Apps that only wrap your website: Apple rejects them, and a good mobile website is cheaper. Our sister service WebReady builds those.
- Large enterprise platforms: that's a full Stacksy engagement.

FAQ
How much does an app cost?
Apps start from $5,750 inc. GST for a focused first version. The price depends on how many screens and user types there are, whether you need iOS, Android or both, and what the app connects to. Finish the scoping brief and you get a fixed price within two business days.
How long does it take?
Most focused first versions take 4 to 6 weeks from an agreed quote to the stores. Your quote includes a timeline, and you'll have a working build on your own phone within the first fortnight.
iOS, Android or both?
Usually both, from one shared codebase, which keeps the cost down. When an app depends on precise timing, sensors or a watch, we build natively in Swift and Kotlin, as we did for YoYo and Hockey Shoot-out. We'll recommend the approach in your quote.
Who owns the app?
You do. The app is published under your own Apple and Google developer accounts and the source code is yours. Apple charges A$149 a year for a developer account and Google charges a one-off US$25; we'll help you set both up.
What happens after launch?
Every build includes 30 days of post-launch fixes. After that, apps need a little care: Apple and Google release new operating systems every year, and most apps have a server to keep running. We offer an optional monthly care plan and quote it up front, so there are no surprises.
Will Apple and Google approve it?
We've taken nine apps through App Store and Google Play review, so we know what reviewers look for and we design for it from day one. We prepare the listings, screenshots, privacy details and reviewer notes, and handle any back-and-forth.
Is my idea safe with you?
Yes. We're happy to sign an NDA before you tell us the details, and anything you write in the scoping brief is stored in Australia (Sydney) and never shared.
Can you take over an existing app?
Often, yes. Tell us about it in the scoping brief. We'll review the code and tell you honestly whether it's worth continuing or cheaper to rebuild.
Where are you based?
Perth, Western Australia. Every app is designed and built here by the people you talk to. No offshoring, no white-labelling, and we're happy to meet in person.
Got an app idea?
Take 12 minutes to tell us about it. Within two business days you'll have our recommended approach, a fixed price and a timeline. Most first versions are live in 4 to 6 weeks.
