Deliverables

Native or cross-platform?
Both are good choices. The right one depends on your features, budget and timeline.
| Factor | Native (Swift / Kotlin) | Cross-platform (React Native / Flutter) |
|---|---|---|
| Codebases | Two: one for iOS, one for Android | One shared codebase for both |
| Performance | Best for heavy graphics, AR and complex animation | Close to native for most business apps |
| Device features | Full, immediate access to new OS features | Most features, some through native modules |
| Time and cost | Higher: two apps to build and maintain | Lower: one app to build and maintain |
| Best for | Performance-critical or platform-specific apps | MVPs, marketplaces, booking and content apps |

Built for regulated New York industries
New York’s finance, healthcare, real estate and media companies have rules to meet. We treat them as design requirements from day one: what data the app collects, where it is stored, who can see it and how it is protected. These are requirements we design for, not certifications we hold, and we work with your compliance team or advisers to confirm them.
Working with a New York team
A client partner at our New York center runs your project on Eastern Time. Your app is designed and engineered at our New Delhi headquarters, 9.5 to 10.5 hours ahead, so work moves forward while New York sleeps.
One person owns your account from the New York center: scope, priorities, demos and sign-off, in your time zone.
Calls, reviews and demos are booked inside your working day, by video. Our New Delhi team keeps an evening window for US calls.
Design, engineering and production happen at our New Delhi headquarters, the team behind 1,000+ projects since 2015.
Meetings run by video by default. If your project needs an in-person session in New York, we agree it in the scope first.
Live: today’s working days in New York and New Delhi, adjusted for daylight saving automatically.
