Mobile apps and custom software built for Pakistan's market
Pakistan has 190 million mobile users. If your business doesn’t have an app — or your internal operations still run on spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups — you’re leaving money on the table. MindGigs builds Android apps, iOS apps, cross-platform solutions, and custom ERP software for businesses across KPK and Pakistan.
What Pakistani businesses actually need from an app in 2025
Most businesses in Pakistan don’t need a complex, expensive native app. What they need is a fast, reliable cross-platform app (React Native or Flutter) that works on both Android and iOS, integrates with Pakistan’s payment systems, and solves a specific business problem — delivered in weeks, not months. We help you choose the right approach before writing a single line of code.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT APPROACH
Native vs cross-platform — what's right for your business?
This is the most important decision before any app project starts. Here’s an honest comparison — we’ll always recommend the option that fits your budget and goals, not the most expensive one.
| Factor | Native Android only | Cross-platform (React Native / Flutter) | Native iOS only |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Pakistan domestic market focus | Both markets, budget-conscious | UAE / UK / international audience |
| Starting cost | From PKR 150,000 | From PKR 120,000 (both platforms) | From PKR 180,000 |
| Delivery time | 8–10 weeks | 8–12 weeks | 10–14 weeks |
| Performance | Maximum — fully native | Near-native — 95% of native speed | Maximum — fully native |
| Pakistan payment gateways | Easypaisa, JazzCash | All gateways | Stripe, Apple Pay |
| MindGigs recommendation | If 90%+ users are on Android | For most Pakistani businesses | If targeting UAE / UK clients |
HOW WE WORK
Our app development process — idea to app store
A transparent six-phase process with clear milestones, regular WhatsApp updates, and no surprises at delivery.
Phase 1
Discovery
Define the problem your app solves, your users, and core features. We prevent scope creep before it costs you.
Phase 2
Wireframes
Screen-by-screen wireframes approved before design starts. You see the full app structure before any code is written.
Phase 3
UI/UX design
High-fidelity screen designs in Figma. You approve every screen. We iterate until it's exactly right.
Phase 4
Development
Frontend and backend built in parallel. Weekly demo builds shared via WhatsApp so you see real progress.
Phase 5
Testing
Device testing on real Pakistan handsets. Performance, payments, push notifications, and edge-case testing.
Phase 6
Launch
Store submission, listing optimisation, launch support, and 60 days of post-launch bug fixes included.

CLIENT RESULTS
What our app development clients say
“MindGigs built our pharmacy inventory and billing system from scratch. What used to take our manager 4 hours a day now takes 30 minutes. We’ve since added two more branches and the system scaled perfectly.”
“We launched a customer-facing Android app for our clothing brand through MindGigs. The Easypaisa integration worked first time — something our previous developer failed at twice. 200 downloads in the first week.”
“We needed a cross-platform app for both our Pakistan and UAE customer base. MindGigs recommended React Native and delivered both platforms simultaneously. The Dubai launch got 500 downloads in the first month.”
“Our school management app — student records, fee collection, attendance, parent notifications — was delivered in 10 weeks. The teachers picked it up immediately with no training. It’s saved our admin team hours every week.”
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions about app development
How much does it cost to build an app in Pakistan?
A basic cross-platform app with standard features (user login, product listing, cart, payment) starts from PKR 120,000 at MindGigs. More complex apps with custom backends, real-time features, or advanced integrations range from PKR 250,000 to PKR 600,000+. ERP and business software starts from PKR 80,000 for a single module. We provide a detailed breakdown before any work begins — no hidden costs at delivery.
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
A standard cross-platform app takes 8–12 weeks from approved wireframes to Play Store/App Store submission. Simple single-platform apps can be delivered in 6–8 weeks. Complex apps with custom backends, real-time features, or extensive integrations take 14–20 weeks. The biggest factor affecting timelines is the speed of client feedback at each approval stage — we share builds weekly so reviews never bottleneck progress.
Do you support Easypaisa and JazzCash in apps?
Yes — we’ve integrated both across dozens of projects and understand the full process: API account setup, sandbox testing, production approval, and the common failure points that trip up developers without local experience. We also integrate HBL PayConnect, UBL Omni, and Stripe for businesses targeting international markets.
Who owns the app and source code after delivery?
You own everything — 100%. The source code, the Play Store listing, the App Store account, the server, and all intellectual property transfers to you on final payment. We hand over everything with full documentation. We also offer post-launch maintenance retainers if you want ongoing support, but there is no lock-in.
Can you update or fix an app that another developer built?
Yes — we take on third-party app fixes regularly. We start with a code review (typically PKR 15,000–25,000 depending on complexity) to understand the existing codebase, then provide a clear quote for the work needed. If the code is too problematic to rescue cost-effectively, we tell you honestly and explain why a rebuild makes more sense.
