Softfix React Native development team reviewing a mobile app
React Native development company in India

Already on React? Build your app with the same team.

React website already? Then a React Native app can reuse much of its logic and types, and the same developers can work on both. We build Android and iPhone apps that feel native, and keep them updated.

React Native app development pros and cons

The honest version, before you decide

We like React Native a lot, but it isn't magic. Here's what you gain, and what you should plan for.

Developer reviewing a React Native app on a phone What's good
  • A single codebase for iOS and Android, so roughly one team instead of two
  • JavaScript and TypeScript, the most widely known languages around, so hiring is easier
  • Real native UI components, not a web page in a wrapper
  • Logic and types can be shared with a React website
  • Small JS fixes can go out over the air, within store rules
Developer working through a checklist of tasks What to plan for
  • Version upgrades take real effort; skip a few and they get painful
  • Some features still need custom native modules in Kotlin or Swift
  • Third-party libraries vary in quality and need vetting
  • Very heavy animation or 3D can be smoother in fully native code
  • Apps are a little larger than a bare native equivalent
React Native vs Flutter vs native app development

React Native vs Flutter, and React Native vs Swift/Kotlin

We build in all three, so we don't have a horse in this race. The right pick mostly depends on your team and your app.

Feature React Native Flutter Native (Swift / Kotlin)
Language JavaScript / TypeScript Dart Swift and Kotlin, separately
UI Real platform components Its own rendering engine Platform components
Shares code with web Yes, with React sites With Flutter web No
Cost One codebase One codebase Two codebases, highest
Over-the-air fixes Yes, for JS changes Limited No, store release needed
Pick it when You have React developers, or a React website You want pixel-identical UI and desktop too You need peak performance or brand-new OS features

Is React Native good for enterprise apps?

Yes, if it's set up well. Microsoft and Shopify use it. Enterprise React Native app development needs TypeScript, one state approach, automated tests, MDM support and regular version upgrades.

How we build React Native apps

Cross-platform app development with React Native, done the careful way

JavaScript & TypeScript

TypeScript in strict mode, so whole classes of bugs never reach users.

Component-based architecture

Reusable components · shared library · consistent screens

Hot reload development

Fast Refresh shows changes instantly, which makes design reviews quick.

Native modules and bridging

Kotlin and Swift modules (TurboModules on the New Architecture) for hardware and SDKs JS can't reach.

Native-like performance

Hermes engine, Fabric renderer and careful list handling keep things smooth.

Redux / state management

Redux Toolkit · Zustand · React Query · picked per app

Firebase integration

Login · push messages · Crashlytics · analytics · React Native Firebase

Third-party plugin integration

Payments · maps · camera · biometrics · quality-checked

CI/CD for React Native apps

EAS Build or GitHub Actions · Fastlane · OTA updates for JS fixes

App store deployment

Play and App Store listings, signing, review notes and phased rollouts.

Scalable backend architecture

Cloud APIs · launch-day traffic · grows with users

Single codebase for iOS and Android

Shared code for iOS and Android · a few platform-specific files

01

Dependency audit

Library list · maintenance check · replacements for dead packages

02

Step-by-step version jumps

One version at a time · tests at each step

03

Move to the New Architecture

Switch on Fabric and TurboModules for smoother UI and faster native calls.

04

Stay current

A maintenance plan keeps you within a version or two of the latest, so this never piles up again.

React Native app development process and timeline

Around 12 weeks to both stores

For a typical business app. If you already have a React web app, shared code can shave time off that.

  1. Week 1–2

    Discovery

    Features, native needs, and what can be shared with your web app.

  2. Week 2–4

    Design

    Prototype and a component library ready for developers.

  3. Week 4–10

    Build

    Sprints with fresh test builds on Android and iPhone every two weeks.

  4. Week 10–11

    Beta

    TestFlight and Play testing tracks with real users.

  5. Week 12

    Launch

    Both stores, with over-the-air updates set up for quick fixes.

For founders

React Native app development for startups

If your web product is built in React, React Native is the obvious next step. Your developers can help on mobile, you ship to both stores on one budget, and you can push small fixes without waiting on app review.

Why RN is the obvious next step

  • Your React developers can help on mobile
  • Ship to both stores on one budget
  • Push small fixes without waiting on app review
Team comparing React Native development companies How to choose

How to choose a React Native development company

  • Ask what version they're on. Teams that keep their own apps current will keep yours current too.
  • Ask if they write native modules. At some point you'll need a bit of Kotlin or Swift.
  • Check for TypeScript and tests. Plain JS with no tests gets hard to change, fast.
  • Try their apps on an old Android phone. That's where weak React Native work shows up first.
React Native app development cost

What a React Native app costs

Screens, backend, integrations and any custom native modules drive the price. One codebase keeps it well below two native apps, and existing React code can bring it down further. Itemised quote after a call.

Simple React Native app on a phone Basic

Simple RN app

Both stores, login, 8–10 screens, Firebase or light backend.

Typical timeline: 6–8 weeks
Most common
Business React Native app on a phone Standard

Business RN app

Payments, integrations, custom backend, analytics and OTA updates.

Typical timeline: 10–14 weeks
Multi-app React Native project with enterprise features Advanced

Multi-app or enterprise

Several apps, native modules, real-time features and enterprise security.

Typical timeline: 4 months +

FAQ

React Native questions we get asked

How much does React Native app development cost?
It depends on how many screens you need, the backend, integrations and any custom native modules. With one codebase for both stores, it costs a lot less than two native apps. We'll send a detailed estimate after a quick call.
React Native vs Flutter: which should I pick?
If your team or website already works with React and JavaScript, React Native is usually the better fit. If you want the exact same look everywhere and desktop apps as well, Flutter is a good choice. Both are mature, and we work with both.
Is React Native good for enterprise apps?
Yes. Many large companies use it in their live apps. What makes the difference is how it's set up: TypeScript, automated tests, a clear approach to state management and a plan to keep React Native updated.
Why choose a React Native app development company in India?
India has a very large number of JavaScript developers, so you can hire experienced React Native people at lower rates. We're in Lucknow and work with clients in India and other countries.
Can you update the app without going through the stores?
Yes, for small fixes and tweaks in the JavaScript code, using over-the-air updates that follow Apple's and Google's rules. Changes to native code or bigger features still need a normal store release.
Who owns the React Native code?
You do. The code repositories, store listings, signing keys and backend all belong to you, and the contract says so.
