What this means for your project
Hiring app developers in Nigeria: what you get with DPX
When you hire app developers from DPX, you are not relying on one freelancer to do everything. Design, development, testing and store publishing are handled by one team with a single point of contact, so nothing falls between people. The work is agreed as a fixed, itemised scope with milestones: you know the price and the timeline before development starts, and you see working builds along the way rather than a reveal at the end. You own everything we produce — the source code, the store listings under your own developer accounts, and the back end the app runs on. And you can judge our work before you commit: our apps are live on Google Play, so you can install them and see for yourself.
What an app costs in Nigeria, and what drives the number
An Android app from DPX starts at ₦1,300,000 and iOS at ₦1,500,000, with most projects delivered in six to twelve weeks. What moves the price is features, not screens: user accounts from ₦200,000, in-app payments from ₦300,000, chat from ₦350,000, an admin dashboard from ₦400,000. Building for both platforms costs less than two separate projects because we share one codebase where the product allows it. The honest question to settle first is whether you need an app at all — if your users visit occasionally and you mainly need reach, a fast mobile site or a progressive web app costs a fraction and skips the install barrier entirely.
Building for Nigerian phones and Nigerian networks
The average user you are designing for is on a mid-range Android device with limited storage, on data they top up, on a network that drops. That shapes real decisions: keeping the install size small enough that people do not uninstall it for space, caching so the app opens and shows something useful without a connection, queuing actions taken offline and syncing them when signal returns, and keeping background data use low. Payments get the same treatment — card, transfer and USSD through Paystack or Flutterwave, with every failure state designed, because a silent error after a debit is the fastest way to lose a user for good.
Publishing, and what happens after launch
We handle the parts that stall most first-time app owners: developer accounts, store listings, screenshots, privacy policy, data-safety declarations and the review process on Google Play and the App Store, including the rejections that are routine on a first submission. Both stores charge their own developer fees, which sit outside our price. After launch an app is never finished: operating systems update, devices change, and stores enforce new requirements each year. We offer maintenance so the app keeps working, and we hand over the source code and store accounts, so you are never locked to us.
What you get, and who owns it
You receive the app on both stores under your own developer accounts, the full source code, the admin dashboard to run it, and documentation for your team. If the app has a back end, that stays yours too. We also set up the basics that tell you whether the app is working: installs, active users, crash reporting and the two or three events that matter to your business, such as a completed order or a booking. Without that, deciding what to build next is guesswork, and version two is where most of an app's value is won.

Mobile App Development questions
Asked before every project.
How much does mobile app development cost in Nigeria?
Android apps start at ₦1,300,000 and iOS apps at ₦1,500,000, with features like payments, chat, accounts and admin dashboards priced on top. Use our mobile app cost calculator for an instant itemized estimate.
Do you build native or cross-platform apps?
Both. We choose the right approach for your project — native for maximum performance and device access, or cross-platform to serve Android and iOS efficiently from one codebase — and advise honestly based on your needs and budget.
How long does it take to build a mobile app?
Most custom apps take 6–12 weeks depending on features and complexity, including testing and app store review. Simpler apps ship faster; we give you a realistic timeline up front.
Do you publish the app to the stores?
Yes — Google Play and App Store listings, assets and review submission are included, along with launch support. Our own apps, Dimensions 2.0 and PriceAM, are live on Google Play.
Do I need an app, or is a mobile website enough?
If people use your service repeatedly and benefit from notifications, offline access or device features like the camera, an app earns its cost. If you mainly need to be found and read, a fast mobile site or a progressive web app reaches more people for far less, because nobody has to install anything first.
Can you turn my existing website into an app?
Yes. Converting a website into an app is a separate, cheaper service than building one from scratch, and it suits businesses whose value is already delivered through their site. We will tell you honestly which of the two your case needs.
Who owns the app and the store accounts?
You do. The apps are published under your own Google Play and Apple developer accounts, and you receive the source code at handover. We can maintain it for you, but you are never locked in.
What should I look for when hiring an app developer in Nigeria?
Ask to see apps they have actually published — not mockups — and install one. Confirm you will own the source code and that the app will be published under your own store accounts. Get a fixed, itemised quote with milestones, and ask who maintains the app after launch. Our apps are live on Google Play, the code and accounts are yours, and every quote we send is itemised.
