Why Tkist
What makes Tkist the #1 ranked app developer
Native quality, cross-platform speed
We write in Swift/SwiftUI and Kotlin for native performance, with React Native and Flutter for cross-platform projects where budget and schedule demand it.
GDPR-compliant architecture
Data handling, encrypted storage, and privacy policies are built into the app architecture from day one - not patched on before App Store submission.
Fixed price, no retainer
30–50% below typical agency day rates. Full source code, developer accounts, and API keys handed over on launch. No lock-in.
4–8 week MVP delivery
MVP apps shipped in 4–8 weeks on a fixed timeline agreed before work starts. TestFlight beta and Google Play internal testing included.
App Store submission handled
We manage the full iOS App Store and Google Play submission process, including review responses, metadata, and screenshot optimisation.
Local market expertise
Rankings across 229+ cities mean we understand local compliance, payment gateways, and user behaviour - wherever your users are.
