MOBILE APP
DEVELOPMENT
COMPANY
in Dallas Fort Worth
We design, build and launch iOS, Android and cross-platform apps for funded startups, mid-market companies and enterprises, from strategy to App Store and beyond.
A great app idea is easy. Shipping one that's fast, stable and people actually keep using is hard. Most projects stall on unclear scope, the wrong tech choice, or a team you can't see working.
Pixarsart Studios builds mobile apps the way you'd want them built: a clear plan before code, senior developers on every project, and a live view of progress through Kanbaan, our project transparency board. Whether you need a native iOS app, an Android app, or one Flutter codebase for both, we take it from wireframes to launch, then keep it running.

Technologies We Use
An app development partner for companies that choose quality over the lowest quote
Great products come from the right partnership, and the right partnership starts with honest expectations. Pixarsart isn’t the right fit for every project. That focus is exactly why our clients trust us with the products their business depends on.
Buyers comparing only hourly rates
If the lowest hourly rate is your main decision factor, there are cheaper options out there. We price for outcomes – senior engineers, proper QA and on-time delivery – because rework and missed launches cost far more than a lower rate saves.
Small fixes and quick website updates
Pixarsart focuses on building and scaling apps, software and AI products. For quick website fixes, WordPress or Shopify updates and urgent repairs, our sister brand alley214 offers fast, fixed-price help.
Teams that want to manage every developer task
We work best as an accountable partner, not a pair of hands to direct line by line. You set the goals and priorities, our leads manage delivery, and you keep full visibility of progress in Kanbaan.
Projects without clear ownership on your side
Every successful build has a decision-maker who can review work and give timely feedback. If no one on your team can own the project, we’ll recommend starting with a short discovery workshop first.
Get a clear App Roadmap
Tell us about your app idea or existing product and we’ll review your requirements, recommend the right architecture, and provide a realistic timeline and cost range.

Mobile App Development FAQs
How much does it cost to build a mobile app?
Most mobile apps we build cost between $10K and $200K+. Starter apps run $10K–$25K, MVPs $30K–$80K, platforms and marketplaces $80K–$200K, and enterprise systems start at $200K. Cost depends on features, platforms, back end, integrations and design complexity.
How long does mobile app development take?
A starter app takes about 6–10 weeks and an MVP 8–12 weeks. Larger platforms take 3–6 months, and enterprise systems 6–12 months. You’ll get a firm timeline after discovery.
Should I build a native or cross-platform app?
Native apps (Swift, Kotlin) give the best performance and device access. Cross-platform apps (Flutter, React Native) cover iOS and Android from one codebase at lower cost. For most business apps and MVPs, cross-platform is the better value.
What is an MVP, and should I start with one?
An MVP is the first production-ready version of your app with the core features users need. It lets you launch faster, prove demand and raise funding before investing in the full product.
Do you build both iOS and Android apps?
Yes. We build native iOS apps in Swift, native Android apps in Kotlin and cross-platform apps in Flutter and React Native, and handle App Store and Google Play approval.
Do you sign an NDA, and who owns the code?
Yes, we sign an NDA before any detailed discussion. You own 100% of the code, designs, accounts and intellectual property.
Do you offer app maintenance after launch?
Yes. Every project includes a post-launch support period, and maintenance plans cover OS updates, bug fixes, monitoring, security patches and new features.
Can you take over an app another team started?
Yes. We start with a code audit, give you an honest assessment and a clear plan to fix, finish or rebuild — with no obligation to continue.
What technologies do you use for app development?
Swift and Kotlin for native apps; Flutter and React Native for cross-platform; Node.js, Laravel and Python back ends; AWS and Firebase; PostgreSQL and MongoDB; and Figma for design.
Do you work with companies outside Dallas?
Yes. Pixarsart is headquartered in Plano, TX and works with clients across the US and internationally. Dallas–Fort Worth teams can meet us in person.
