Mobile app development in Pakistan, in short
Exytex is a PSEB-registered software company that builds custom mobile apps for Android, iOS, or both at once with Flutter or React Native. A focused MVP typically costs PKR 300,000 to 800,000 and takes 6 to 10 weeks. Most business apps with payments and an admin panel cost PKR 800,000 to 2,500,000 and take 3 to 4 months.
Every project can include practical AI, such as a chat assistant that understands Urdu and Roman Urdu, smart product search, document scanning, or on-device features that keep user data private. You get a working build to test every two weeks, and the code, designs and store listings belong to you.

Mobile app development services
One team for strategy, design, engineering, launch and support, so nothing gets lost between agencies.
iOS app development
Swift and SwiftUI apps for iPhone and iPad, built with Xcode 26 and the iOS 26 SDK that Apple requires for App Store uploads, and ready for the new Apple Intelligence features in iOS 27.
Flutter app development
One codebase for Android and iOS with near-native speed and a fully custom design. Our default for most business apps because it lowers both build and maintenance cost.
React Native app development
The right choice when your team already works in React. Shares logic with your web app and uses native modules wherever performance matters.
AI app development
Chat assistants in Urdu and English, smart search, document scanning, recommendations and on-device AI. We add these to new apps or to the app you already have.
Mobile UI/UX design
User research, flows and clickable Figma prototypes you can try on your own phone before any code is written. Right-to-left Urdu layouts included.
MVP development for startups
A lean first version with only the features that prove your idea, launched quickly so you can show investors and learn from real users.
Business and enterprise apps
Field sales, inventory, attendance, booking and customer portals, connected to your ERP, CRM or accounting system through secure APIs and admin panels.
Maintenance, upgrades and app rescue
We take over unfinished or unstable apps, fix crashes, upgrade old SDKs to meet store rules and keep adding features without a full rebuild.
How AI is changing mobile apps in 2026, and how we use it
Two shifts define mobile apps this year. Phones now run capable AI models on the device itself, so features like summaries and image understanding work privately and even offline. And AI assistants no longer just chat: they take actions inside apps, like booking, tracking and reordering. Exytex builds both into apps for Pakistani and global businesses.
On-device AI that protects privacy
Apple's Foundation Models framework gives iOS apps the on-device model behind Apple Intelligence, and at WWDC 2026 Apple added image input and Core AI for running custom models. On Android, Gemini Nano works through ML Kit GenAI APIs for summaries, proofreading, rewriting, image descriptions and speech recognition.
AI assistants in Urdu, Roman Urdu and English
Support and sales assistants trained on your products, policies and order data. They reply in the language your customer types in, and hand over to a human on WhatsApp when needed.
Assistants that take action
Book an appointment, reorder last month's groceries or raise a complaint from a single message. On iOS we expose these actions through App Intents so Siri and Apple Intelligence can trigger them too.
Camera, vision and document scanning
Read receipts, invoices, meter readings, product labels and barcodes with the camera, then fill forms automatically so users type less.
Personalization and smart search
Recommendations, search that understands meaning rather than exact words, and notifications timed for each user, all built on your own data.
Screens that adapt to the user
Interfaces that rearrange around what someone is trying to do. We prototype these with Flutter's GenUI SDK and the A2UI protocol, which are still early-stage, so we use them only where they add clear value.
On-device AI vs cloud AI
| Factor | On-device | Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Privacy | Data stays on the phone | Sent to a secure server |
| Offline | Works offline | Needs internet |
| Running cost | No per-request fee | Pay per use |
| Best for | Summaries, rewriting, quick replies, image labels | Complex reasoning, large knowledge bases, long documents |
| Examples | Apple Foundation Models, Gemini Nano | Gemini, Claude and GPT models via your backend |
On-device models need recent phones, so every AI feature we ship has a cloud fallback for older Android devices that are common in Pakistan.
We also use AI to build your app faster
AI coding agents help our engineers with boilerplate, test generation and code review. A senior engineer reviews every change before it ships, so you get shorter timelines and a lower bill without trading away quality.
Built for how Pakistan actually uses phones
Most of your users are on mid-range Android phones, switching between Wi-Fi and patchy mobile data, and paying with a mobile wallet. We design for that from day one.
Local payments
JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast and debit or credit cards through licensed payment gateways, plus Stripe and in-app purchases for international apps.
Urdu and Roman Urdu
Right-to-left layouts, proper Nastaliq fonts and a one-tap language switch, with AI that understands how people really type.
Budget phones and weak networks
Small app size, offline-first data sync, compressed images and fast startup on low-memory devices.
WhatsApp built in
Exytex also provides WhatsApp Business API, so order updates, OTP codes and customer support flow between your app and WhatsApp.
FBR and retail integrations
FBR point-of-sale invoice integration for retail and restaurant apps, plus links to your existing accounting or ERP system.
Delivery and maps
Courier booking and tracking through local courier APIs, live rider location on Google Maps and SMS or WhatsApp delivery alerts.

Native vs Flutter vs React Native: which should you choose?
Choose Flutter for most business apps and MVPs, because one codebase covers Android and iOS at a lower cost. Choose native Swift and Kotlin when your app depends on heavy on-device AI, advanced camera or Bluetooth work, or banking-grade performance. Choose React Native if your team already builds in React.

| Factor | Native (Swift + Kotlin) | FlutterOur default | React Native |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Hardware-heavy apps, on-device AI, banking and fintech | Most business apps, MVPs and custom branded designs | Teams already using React on the web |
| Performance | Highest | Near-native | Near-native |
| Build cost | Highest, two codebases | Lower, one codebase | Lower, one codebase |
| Time to launch | Slowest | Fast | Fast |
| Access to new AI APIs | Day one access to Apple and Google AI frameworks | Good, through plugins and platform channels | Good, through native modules |
| Code sharing | None, unless you add Kotlin Multiplatform | Android, iOS, web and desktop | Android, iOS and logic shared with React web |

Frequently asked questions about mobile app development
Straight answers to what founders and business owners ask us most. Still have a question? Ask us directly.
Ask on WhatsAppHow much does it cost to develop a mobile app in Pakistan?
In 2026, a professionally built MVP costs about PKR 300,000 to 800,000. A business app with login, payments and an admin panel usually costs PKR 800,000 to 2,500,000, and complex platforms such as marketplaces or fintech apps start around PKR 2,500,000. Exytex gives a fixed written quote after a free discovery call.
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
A focused MVP takes 6 to 10 weeks. A complete business app takes 3 to 4 months, and large platforms take 4 to 8 months. You get a working build to test every two weeks, so progress is visible from the first sprint.
Should I build a native app or use Flutter?
For most business apps and MVPs, Flutter is the better value because one codebase runs on Android and iOS with near-native performance. Go native with Swift and Kotlin if your app relies on heavy on-device AI, advanced camera or Bluetooth features, or needs the highest possible performance.
Can you add AI features like a chatbot to my app?
Yes. We build AI assistants that answer in Urdu, Roman Urdu and English, plus smart search, document scanning, recommendations and on-device features using Apple Foundation Models and Gemini Nano. AI can be added to a new app or to an app you already have.
Is Exytex a registered software company?
Yes. Exytex is registered with the Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB). We sign an NDA before discovery and work under a written contract with milestone-based payments.
Will I own the source code and the app?
Yes. Once the final milestone is paid, you own the full source code, design files and intellectual property. Your app is published under your own Google Play and Apple developer accounts.
Can you integrate JazzCash, Easypaisa and Raast payments?
Yes. We integrate JazzCash, Easypaisa, Raast and card payments through licensed payment gateways, and Stripe or in-app purchases for international apps. Card details are never stored on the device.
Do you publish the app on Google Play and the Apple App Store?
Yes. We prepare store listings, screenshots, privacy labels and the Data safety form, and handle the review process. Since 31 August 2026 Google Play requires new apps and updates to target Android 16 (API level 36), and since 28 April 2026 Apple requires uploads built with Xcode 26. Our builds meet both.
Can you build an app in Urdu?
Yes. We build fully bilingual apps with right-to-left Urdu layouts, Nastaliq fonts and an in-app language switch, plus AI assistants that understand Roman Urdu.
Can you fix or upgrade my existing app?
Yes. We audit the current code, fix crashes and performance problems, upgrade old SDKs to meet current store requirements and continue development. If the existing code cannot be saved, we will tell you honestly and plan a rebuild.
Do you work with clients outside Pakistan?
Yes. We take on projects for clients in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, the UK, the USA and Canada, with overlapping hours for calls, quotes in USD and payments through proper banking channels to a PSEB-registered company.
What support do you offer after the app is launched?
Monthly support plans cover crash monitoring, bug fixes, OS and SDK updates, security patches and new features. As a guide, budget roughly 15% to 20% of the build cost per year for maintenance.
What do I need to get started?
Only your idea. Send a short description or a voice note on WhatsApp at +92 309 5930315. We will ask a few questions, schedule a free consultation and then share a scope and quote.
