App development in Chennai, starting with the right kind of app.

We design and build mobile apps in Chennai for businesses whose customers, dealers or staff need them every week. As a mobile app development company, we make cross-platform Android and iOS apps from ₹1,50,000 and progressive web apps, which install from the browser without an app store, from ₹40,000. Either way we build the backend and the admin panel too, because an app is only as good as the system behind it.

Many app projects in Chennai start with a quote for "an Android app and an iOS app" before anyone has asked how often customers will open it. We start there. A dealer who reorders every week, a tenant who pays rent every month, a field team logging visits every day: those users want an icon on their home screen. A customer who books you twice a year will not install anything, and a fast mobile website serves them better for a fraction of the price.

We plan apps in person. The first workshop happens at your office with the people who will actually use the app (the operations manager, the sales team, the warehouse lead), because they know the shortcuts and the exceptions that a requirements document always misses.

What we build

Apps, and everything an app needs behind it.

Android and iOS apps

Apps for Google Play and the App Store from a single codebase, when your users expect to find you in the stores or need notifications and background features.

Progressive web apps

Installed from a link with no store approval and updated instantly. Our CaterPlace marketplace is an installable web app.

Admin panels and dashboards

The web console your team uses to manage orders, users and content, built alongside the app, not bolted on later.

APIs and backends

Secure APIs, databases and integrations with Razorpay payments, SMS, WhatsApp and Tally exports.

Customer, partner and staff apps

Separate apps for each side of your business, sharing one backend: the pattern behind our PG Platform.

Analytics built in

Orders, bookings and retention measured from day one, so you know whether the app is earning its cost.

Apps and platforms we have built

We build client apps the way we build our own products.

We design and build our own software, which is the best test of an app team: PG Platform has an operator console, a partner app and a tenant app on one backend; CaterPlace is an installable web app; Growbzpayroll gives employees payslips, leave and tax on their phones. Client web platforms with member accounts, registrations and bookings are live below.

How a project runs

From a workshop at your office to an app in your customers' hands.

01

Workshop and scope

A session at your office to map who uses the app, what they do daily and what the backend must handle. You get a written scope, the platform recommendation and one fixed price.
02

Screens before code

Every screen designed and clickable on your phone before development starts. Changes cost a sentence now instead of a sprint later.
03

Weekly builds

A new build on your phone every week, the admin panel on staging, and a short beta with a few real users before launch.
04

Launch and support

Store listings submitted for store apps, backend deployed, and a support period after launch for fixes and OS updates.

Who we build apps for

Chennai businesses whose customers or staff come back every week.

Distributors whose dealers reorder weekly, property and hostel operators, logistics firms with drivers in the field, clinics and service businesses with repeat bookings, associations with members, and founders building a product. If your customers use you once a year, we will say so in the first meeting and suggest something cheaper.

App development cost in Chennai

The kind of app decides the price.

Progressive web app (installable, works offline)

₹40,000 – ₹1,00,000

Android and iOS app with backend and admin panel

₹1,50,000 – ₹5,00,000

The quote grows with each type of user and each thing they can do, and with payments, notifications and the reports your team needs in the admin panel. Store apps also carry Apple and Google developer fees and need updating as Android and iOS change each year.

Questions about app development in Chennai

With Growbz, a progressive web app costs ₹40,000–₹1,00,000 and a cross-platform Android and iOS app with its backend and admin panel costs ₹1,50,000–₹5,00,000. The price is fixed in writing after a scoping session, once we know the screens, users and integrations.

Both, from one cross-platform codebase, which keeps the cost and the maintenance close to a single app. If your users are almost all on Android, as is common for staff and dealer apps in Chennai, we can launch on Google Play first and add the App Store later.

Ask how often your customers will open it. Weekly or daily use justifies an app; occasional use does not, and a fast mobile website or an installable web app does the job at a fraction of the price. We give you that answer in the first meeting, before any quote.

An installable web app usually takes 3–6 weeks. A store app takes 8–16 weeks including Google and Apple review. The backend and admin panel are often half the work, which is why we plan them from the start.

Yes. The requirements workshop and the launch handover happen at your office, and we come back whenever the project needs it. Between meetings you get weekly builds on your phone and updates on WhatsApp.

You do. The source code, the backend and the Google Play and App Store developer accounts are in your name. If you change developers later, you take everything with you.
