Mobile app development companies in Dubai (2026): ten compared, with published prices

Ten companies that build mobile apps for Dubai clients are compared below on what their own websites say: where they are based, what they build, who they name as clients, and what they publish as prices. Eight of the ten publish app prices, from AED 6,000 at the low end to more than AED 1,000,000 for an enterprise platform. Clutch ratings are included where a profile could be read.

STYLABS is one of the ten, so we have an interest in the answer. The list is alphabetical, not ranked, every fact about another company comes from that company's own site or its Clutch profile, and each entry says who it suits. All pages were retrieved on 10 November 2026.

Prices are quoted as each company writes them, in its own currency. Code Brew Labs and DeviceBee write "$" without naming the currency.

The companies

Apptunix

Apptunix says it was founded in 2013 and has a Dubai office at One Central, DWTC, with its main development hub in Mohali, India. It lists iOS, Android, Flutter and React Native work and positions itself around AI product engineering. Clients named on its site include Isuzu, Namshi and Expo City Dubai. It publishes no prices and says there is "no one-size-fits-all price tag".

Suits: large brands and enterprise projects that want a big team and AI features.

AppVerticals

AppVerticals is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with a Dubai office in The One Tower, Barsha Heights. It builds native iOS and Android, Flutter and React Native apps, and names Coca-Cola, Nokia Al-Saudia and Al Rostamani Group. Its Dubai page says app development "runs from AED 55,000 for a basic app to AED 1,000,000+ for a complex fintech, healthcare, or enterprise platform."

Suits: mid-market and enterprise B2B platforms such as ordering, training and operations apps.

AUN Digital

AUN Digital is based in Prime Tower, Business Bay, and offers Android, iOS, Flutter and React Native development alongside websites and digital marketing. Its FAQ gives the lowest prices on this list: AED 6,000 to 8,000 for an on-demand app, and AED 20,000 to 50,000 for a complex one. The case studies on its homepage are websites and web portals.

Suits: small local businesses on a tight budget that mainly need a website with an app added.

Branex

Branex is in Mazaya Business Avenue, JLT, and describes itself in its footer as a web design company in Dubai. Its mobile page lists Swift, Android, Flutter and React Native, names apps including Taj Asaha, Tycoon App and Rent EZ, and says a build "generally ranges from AED 25,000 to AED 150,000+".

Suits: small and mid-sized businesses that want one agency for a website and an app.

Code Brew Labs

Code Brew Labs says it has worked since 2013 and labels Dubai as its headquarters, at the Dubai World Trade Centre, with offices in Mohali, Riyadh and elsewhere. It builds native, Flutter and React Native apps and names Airbus, Alfardan Exchange and du Pay. Its FAQ gives $15,000 to $35,000 for a foundational app, $35,000 to $75,000+ for an enterprise-grade one, and $75,000 to $150,000+ for "mission-critical solutions".

Suits: corporate and government-adjacent projects, and funded startups.

DeviceBee

DeviceBee Technologies is registered in Dubai, with an office in Dubai Outsource City, and says it has worked with more than 150 clients since 2013. It builds in Swift, Kotlin, Flutter and React Native and names Emaar, Unilever and Honeywell as clients. Its FAQ prices a simple app at $10,000 to $20,000, a mid-complexity app at $20,000 to $50,000, and a complex or AI-powered app at $50,000 and up, with maintenance at 15% to 20% of the build cost a year.

Suits: UAE businesses that want a smaller, locally registered studio.

STYLABS

STYLABS is our studio: founded in 2015, with offices at 1616 Binary Tower, Business Bay, and in Santacruz East, Mumbai, and between 10 and 49 people. We build in Flutter or native code, with the back end and admin panel in the same team.

An app build runs from AED 33,000 to AED 130,000 and takes three to twelve weeks. Details are on our mobile app development in Dubai page.

Suits: businesses whose app has to share a back end with a website, a booking system or an ERP. We are the wrong choice for games, hardware-dependent apps and regulated fintech.

Techugo's head office is in Noida, India, with a UAE office in Umm Hurair Second, Dubai, and a team it puts at more than 350. It lists iOS, Android, Flutter and React Native, and its portfolio includes JoshCam, Airtel Thanks and BookMyForex.

Its FAQ gives AED 18,000 to 180,000 for a startup MVP and AED 300,000 to 450,000+ for a full enterprise platform.

It publishes a starting-price table: an MVP from AED 15,000 in six to eight weeks, a cross-platform iOS and Android app from AED 45,000 in ten to sixteen weeks, and maintenance from AED 3,500 a month.

Suits: budget-conscious startups that want a fixed starting price.

How to choose between them

• Match the company to the size of the job. A firm with hundreds of engineers and a 20-person studio are different purchases. Ask who will actually work on your app.
• Ask where the work is done. Most companies on this list deliver from India or the United States with a Dubai office for sales and account management. That is normal, and it is worth knowing.
• Compare scope, not the headline price. The published prices above differ by a factor of a hundred. Line up the screens, user roles, payment methods, languages and integrations before you compare numbers.
• Check the back end. Ask whether the admin panel, API and hosting are in the quote.
• Ask who owns the code and whether the app is published under your Apple and Google accounts.

Published price bands from cost guides, as opposed to company rate cards, are in what a mobile app costs in Dubai.
