We design and build two-sided marketplace apps — from validated MVP to production-ready platform. Payments, listings, bookings, chat, reviews, admin dashboards and vendor payouts, shipped on iOS, Android and web.
What we build
Buyers, sellers and admins each get an interface built for how they actually work.
Native and cross-platform builds for iPhone and iPad, submitted, reviewed and published to the App Store by our team.
Swift · React Native · Flutter
Play Store releases tuned for the device and network conditions your users actually have, not just flagship hardware.
Kotlin · React Native · Flutter
The SEO-visible half of your marketplace: listings, search, checkout, seller onboarding and the admin back office.
WordPress · Laravel · Next.js
Core modules
Structured listing types, custom fields, media galleries, filters and full-text search.
Stripe Connect, PayPal, split payments, commissions, escrow release and automated vendor payouts.
Calendars, availability rules, order states, cancellations and refund flows.
Real-time buyer–seller messaging, push notifications, email and SMS triggers.
Two-way ratings, verification badges, dispute handling and moderation queues.
Revenue reporting, user management, commission control and content moderation in one place.
Our approach
Most failed marketplaces spend a year building features nobody asked for. We ship a focused MVP with the shortest path to a real transaction — a buyer finds a seller, pays, and both sides come back. Everything after that is decided by data from your own users, not guesses.
Scope your MVP with usWe map your marketplace model, revenue logic and must-have features. You get a fixed feature list and a written estimate.
Wireframes and UI for buyer, seller and admin flows — approved before a line of production code is written.
Two-week sprints with a working staging environment you can log into from day one.
App Store and Play Store submission, monitoring, and a prioritised backlog based on real usage.
Cost & timeline
Marketplace projects typically land between $5,000 and $50,000, and take 2 to 12 weeks — sometimes longer for complex, multi-region platforms. The range is wide because the feature list is what drives it: a single-platform MVP is a different project from a three-platform marketplace with escrow, bookings and live chat.

FAQ
Between $5,000 and $50,000 in most cases. A lean single-platform MVP sits at the lower end; a full iOS, Android and web platform with escrow payments, bookings and advanced admin tooling sits at the top. We give you a fixed written quote after a scoping call — the feature list determines the price, not an open-ended hourly meter.
Typically 2 to 12 weeks. A focused MVP can be live in 2–4 weeks. Most projects land in the 4–8 week range. Larger platforms with multiple user roles, integrations and three platforms can run 12 weeks or more, and we break those into phased releases so you launch something usable early.
iOS, Android and web. Most clients start with a web platform plus one mobile app, then add the second mobile platform once there is traction. We handle App Store and Google Play submission and the review process on your behalf.
An MVP is the smallest version of your marketplace that lets a real buyer and a real seller complete a real transaction. It exists to prove demand before you spend a large budget. Starting here means you learn what your users actually want in weeks rather than after a year of building features on assumptions.
We can do a service marketplace with wordpress too (like a service marketplace theme), but we can work with Laravel, React, Nodejs and other technologies.
Yes. Full source code, repositories, design files and all accounts transfer to you on delivery. There is no lock-in, and you are free to continue with your own team at any point.
Often, yes. We start with a technical audit of the current codebase to assess quality, security and how much is salvageable, then give you an honest recommendation on continuing versus rebuilding — including when rebuilding is the cheaper option.
We offer ongoing maintenance, hosting support, OS and dependency updates, and feature development in sprints. Many clients keep us on a monthly retainer to iterate based on user data after go-live.
