Quick Answer: Mobile App Development for a Canadian Business

A mobile app is worth building when customers or staff need something a website does poorly: offline use, notifications, the camera, location or a tool they open every day.

You are in the right place if:

  • Customers in Canada would use an app daily
  • Field staff need a tool that works offline
  • You need push notifications or location features
  • Your web app should also be in the app stores
  • You have a validated idea and need a first version
  • An existing app needs rebuilding or rescuing
Every project is scoped first and quoted as a fixed price per phase after a free consultation. Book a free consultation and we will tell you honestly what your business needs.

Mobile App Development for Canadian Businesses

We provide mobile app development for businesses across Canada, from the GTA, where our office is, to every province and territory. The work is done by our own developers in Mississauga, Ontario, quoted in Canadian dollars, and delivered to you wherever you are.

Canadian clients get a team in their own country and currency: a fixed, itemized quote with no exchange rate to work out, a developer contact on Eastern Time, and the domain, hosting and code registered in your company's name from day one. Clients in the Greater Toronto Area can meet us in person; everyone else works with us over video calls, email and a shared project board.

Every project is handled in-house by our mobile app development team, and you can see recent work in our portfolio. Reviews are on our Google Business Profile.

What You Get

Mobile App Development built for how Canadian customers find and choose a business.

One React Native codebase for both platforms, which cuts the cost and keeps features in sync.

The database, authentication and APIs the app runs on, hosted in your accounts.

A web dashboard so your Canadian team can manage users, content and orders without a developer.

Push notifications, in-app payments and subscriptions set up through the stores properly.

Store Submissions

App Store and Google Play listings, review requirements and releases handled.

Updates and Support

OS updates, bug fixes and new features after launch.

How a Project Runs

The same five steps for every client, whether you are across the street from our office or across the country.

1

Discovery call

A free call over video or phone about your business, your customers and what the project needs to do. No pitch deck, just questions.

2

Scope and quote

A written scope and a fixed, itemized quote. You know the price and the schedule before any work begins.

3

Design and build

Designs reviewed in your browser, then the build on a private staging site you can test from anywhere.

4

Launch and training

A launch checklist, training for your team and everything registered in your company's name.

5

Ongoing care

Optional maintenance plans from $149 a month, or hand the site to your own team with full documentation.

Who We Are

A Mississauga, Ontario web and software development team, working with businesses in every province and territory.

Mobile App Development in Canada FAQs

Questions Canadian business owners ask before starting.

Ask Us Anything
How much does it cost to build an app for a Canadian business?
Apps are quoted per project after scoping, because cost depends on features, integrations and whether a backend already exists. We usually suggest a focused first version so you can launch sooner and learn from real users.
Native or React Native?
React Native for almost every business app, because one team and one codebase cover both platforms at a fraction of the cost. Fully native development only makes sense for apps with heavy graphics or unusual hardware needs.
Do you handle the app store accounts?
We set up the developer accounts in your company's name, prepare the listings and submit the app, and handle the back-and-forth with store review.
Do you work with businesses anywhere in Canada?
Yes. We are based in Mississauga, Ontario and work with clients in every province and territory. Discovery calls, design reviews, testing and training all happen over video and screen sharing, so the project runs the same way in Halifax, Winnipeg or Victoria as it does in the GTA.
Are your prices in Canadian dollars?
Yes. Every quote is in Canadian dollars, fixed and itemized, so there is no exchange rate to work out and no surprise on the invoice. You can pay by card or bank transfer.
Can we meet in person?
In the Greater Toronto Area, yes: our office is in Mississauga and we meet GTA clients in person when it helps. Everywhere else in Canada the project runs over video calls and email, which is how most of our clients prefer to work anyway.
How do time zones work for clients outside Ontario?
Our office is on Eastern Time. That lines up with Ontario and Quebec, is an hour behind the Atlantic provinces, and is one to three hours ahead of the Prairies and British Columbia, which still leaves most of the working day for calls. Meetings are scheduled around your time zone.
