App development

Your app for iPhone and Android.

We develop apps for Apple’s App Store and for Google Play – from one shared codebase and connected to your website, your shop and your data.

From CHF 140.– per hour, with an estimate before we start

Our own apps – live in the store

We built these two apps ourselves, each from one codebase for iPhone and Android. We build yours too.

Pixify – Shop & WebsiteFor shops and websites on Pixify-AI: orders, payments, stock and notifications on your phone.
Buchify – Swiss AccountingOur Swiss accounting on your phone: snap receipts, invoices, figures.
One app, two storesOne codebase for iPhone and Android instead of two separate builds – both versions stay the same.
Push notificationsNews, reminders or the status of an order, straight to the lock screen.
Sign in without a passwordA link in the email opens the app directly and signs you in.
Your shop in the appYour range, your basket, your payment methods – on the same data as your online shop.
ConnectedCalendar, accounting or CRM via interfaces – nothing is maintained twice.Learn more →
Operation & updatesNew versions of iOS and Android arrive every year; we keep the app running.

How we build apps

With the same care as our own software

An app is not a one-off project: it has to pass Apple’s and Google’s review and then keep up with new system versions every year.

  • Tested on real devicesNot just in the simulator: on iPhones and Android devices before every submission.
  • All the way into the storesListings, screenshots, privacy details and submission – we guide you through the review at Apple and Google.
  • Your account or oursThe app is published through Pixify’s developer account or under your company – pros and cons below.
  • SecureCredentials never belong in the app; anything secret stays on the server.
  • Estimate in advanceBefore we start, you know what to expect. Billing is by time spent.
  • In stagesThe features that matter come first – more follow with the next updates.

Through our account or under your name?

An app needs a developer account with Apple and with Google. Both routes work – the main difference is the waiting time. We can invoice Apple’s and Google’s fees to you directly – or you pay them yourself, whichever you prefer.

Through our account

The fast route: we publish the app through Pixify’s developer account.

  • No waiting no registration of your own, no verification of your company by Apple and Google
  • Less effort submission and accounts are handled by us
  • Pixify shows in the store as the publisher – not your company
  • Move it later the app can be transferred to your own account, with some lead time

Under your name

Your company appears in the store; the account and the app belong to you directly.

  • Your name in the store your company as the publisher from day one
  • Lead time first Apple requires a D-U-N-S number for companies and verifies the company – this often takes a few days, sometimes longer
  • The fees Apple 99 USD a year, Google a one-off 25 USD
  • Google and the test phase a personal Google account must test for 14 days with at least 12 testers before launch – a company account does not

How your app comes to life

From the first conversation to approval in both stores.

  1. ConversationWhat should the app do, and for whom – and do you really need an app? We will tell you honestly.
  2. EstimateScope, stages and costs – in writing, before a single line of code is written.
  3. Design & buildScreen by screen, with interim versions you try out on your own phone.
  4. SubmissionReview at Apple and Google; the app is only in the stores once they approve it.
  5. OperationUpdates for new system versions and new features – as agreed.

What should your app be able to do?

Describe it in two sentences. We will tell you what it takes – and whether an app is the right route.
