What's included

What mobile app maintenance covers

Apps don’t stay finished. New versions of iOS and Android arrive every year, and the tools inside your app get security fixes. App stores also keep raising their requirements. For example, Google Play requires apps to target a recent Android version.

So without regular care, an app that works today can start crashing, or stop being available to new users. Our support and maintenance service covers mobile apps and web apps, from routine fixes to the improvements that keep users coming back.

Plans

Two ways to keep your app maintained

We’ll recommend a plan after looking at your app, and you can switch between them later.

  • Monthly retainer

    A fixed monthly fee covers regular updates, bug fixes and performance work, with time set aside for your app every month. It suits apps with active users, where problems need fixing fast.

  • Ad hoc support

    Pay only when you need help, with no ongoing commitment. It suits smaller apps that need the occasional fix, an OS update or a one-off improvement.

Taking over

Maintenance for an app someone else built

Many founders come to us when a freelancer has moved on or an agency hasn’t worked out. We can take over mobile app maintenance for an app we didn’t build.

First, we review the code, the hosting and the app store accounts, so we know exactly what we’re working with. Then we fix the urgent problems and give you an honest view of what the app needs over the next few months.

If keeping separate iPhone and Android apps running is costing too much, we can also talk about rebuilding them as one Flutter app.

How we keep it lean

Spend your app maintenance budget where it matters

Maintenance can quietly eat a budget if every request is treated the same. So we fix the problems that affect the most users first. Then we use your analytics and user feedback to decide which improvements are worth building.

AI tools help us trace bugs, write tests and review changes faster, which keeps routine work affordable. A developer still checks every change before it reaches your users.

As the founder of the finance app Allokate put it in a Clutch review: “They were also great in overcoming some issues we stumbled upon along the way.”

Cost

How much does mobile app maintenance cost?

The cost of mobile app maintenance depends on how big your app is, how many people use it and how often it needs to change. A small app might only need occasional ad hoc help. A busy app with paying users usually needs a monthly plan.

FAQ.

Here are some of our most frequently asked questions and answers.

What is mobile app maintenance?
Mobile app maintenance is the ongoing work that keeps an app secure, stable and up to date after launch. It covers bug fixes, updates for new iOS and Android versions, security patches, speed improvements and small new features.

Why does my app need maintenance if nothing is broken?
Because the world around it keeps changing. Apple and Google release new operating systems every year, app stores tighten their rules and the libraries in your app get security fixes. Regular maintenance catches problems before your users do.

Can you maintain an app that another developer built?
Yes. We start by reviewing the code, hosting and store accounts, then fix anything urgent. After that, we give you an honest view of the app’s condition and what it needs next.

What happens if my app has a serious bug?
Tell us straight away. We check how many users it affects, fix the most urgent problem first and release an update as quickly as the app stores allow. Then we look for the underlying cause, so it doesn’t happen again.

Can you make my app faster?
Usually, yes. We look for what’s slowing it down, such as large images, slow server requests or inefficient code, and fix the biggest problems first. Speed matters, because people give up on apps that feel sluggish.

Do you maintain web apps as well as mobile apps?
Yes. Our support and maintenance service covers mobile apps and web apps, including the servers and databases behind them. If we built your web app, we already know it inside out.

Do I need to sign a long contract?
No. Ad hoc support has no ongoing commitment at all, so you only pay when you need help. If you’d prefer a monthly retainer, we agree the terms with you up front.

Who owns my app while you maintain it?
You do. You keep ownership of your code, designs and app store accounts, so you stay in control and can move to another team whenever you like.
