Do I need an app package if I only have an idea?
Yes — the MVP tier ($14,999) is designed for "we have an idea but need to validate + ship a working v0.5". The 6–10 week MVP delivery includes scope validation so you do not build the wrong thing.
SeoMata app development packages help service businesses define, scope, and build mobile or app-based experiences around booking, customer engagement, and operational efficiency. Default React Native + Expo (~80% code shared with web), native iOS/Android when justified.

Tell SeoMata your idea + business context. We will recommend whether an app, a PWA, or website improvement makes the most sense — and if app, which tier + which phase 1 scope.
APP DEVELOPMENT
A one-time engagement that scopes, designs, builds, and submits a mobile app (iOS + Android) for booking / loyalty / portal / marketplace / operations use cases. Defaults to React Native + Expo so ~80% of code is shared cross-platform; native iOS / Android when business case justifies.
A SeoMata app package always starts with use-case validation (vs PWA / website improvement / Zapier workflow). Sometimes the honest answer is "you do not need an app" — we will say so before charging.
When you need an app
Build an app when: (1) customer behavior is mobile-first and your home-screen icon is its own marketing channel, (2) you need device features (camera / GPS / push / biometric / offline) that browsers cannot do reliably, (3) you have field operations (drivers / technicians / sales reps) who need a focused tool, (4) you have a marketplace / SaaS / loyalty business where the app is the product.
Do NOT build an app when: (1) a PWA would work fine + cost 30-50% less, (2) the use case is one-shot (you would not return weekly), (3) you have not validated the website / lead funnel yet — an app cannot fix upstream problems.
How to choose
Pick the $14,999 MVP tier when you need to validate an idea — 5–8 screens, single core flow, iOS + Android via React Native. 6–10 weeks to first TestFlight + Play Console build.
Pick the $34,999 v1 tier when you have validated the idea + need 10–15 screens with multiple flows, CRM/scheduling integration, in-app messaging. 10–14 weeks to v1 launch.
Pick the $79,999 full v1 tier when you need native iOS + Android (not React Native), marketplace / multi-tenant / B2B SaaS scope, backend services, compliance (HIPAA / SOC 2). 16–22 weeks to v1 launch with dedicated PM + iOS + Android + backend leads.
