FAQ

What is the typical timeline for instant messaging app development?

Depending on the number of features and overall complexity, the development of a chat app may take anywhere from three to nine months or even over a year. Contact our team for a more detailed time estimate based on your specific idea.

How much does a communication app cost with your chatting app development company?

The cost of building a chat app depends heavily on its complexity and scale. For instance, on average, creating a messaging app like WhatsApp for both iOS and Android can cost around $250,000, and building a messenger like Signal for just one mobile platform would start at $100,000. Our team is happy to provide you with a more accurate estimate after an initial consultation.

Do you provide post-launch support and updates for your applications?

Yes, Mind Studios is ready to be there for our clients all the way, making sure that the apps we build are consistently efficient and beneficial to the business years after the launch.

Can Mind Studios analyze and fix existing messaging solutions that need to be upgraded?

Our team provides business analysis and re-engineering services, meaning we do work with legacy software. If the existing communication app can be revived, our company typically offers code refactoring, project tech stack updates, infrastructure renovation, system extension, and UI/UX redesign.

Does your iOS chat app development company develop Android apps as well?

In addition to working with iOS applications, Mind Studios is also an Android chat app development company; therefore, we build mobile solutions for both platforms.

Let's build the future of communication

Whether you're building a secure B2B messenger or adding chat functionality to an existing platform, we’ll help you do it right.
