Progressive Web Apps (PWA)
The best value for moneyA PWA installs from the browser, works offline and needs no app store publication. For internal tools it is usually the most sensible choice. One codebase for phone, tablet and desktop.
Web apps, PWAs and iOS and Android apps from a single codebase: tools for your team, B2B customers and field work. We choose the technology to fit the process and the budget.

Three approaches, different budgets - one thing in common: quality and a fit for your needs
A PWA installs from the browser, works offline and needs no app store publication. For internal tools it is usually the most sensible choice. One codebase for phone, tablet and desktop.
When standard solutions aren't enough, we build applications from scratch. Full control over every aspect - from architecture to UI. We integrate with your systems and automate business processes.
When the app has to be in the App Store and Google Play, we build it with Capacitor from the same codebase as the web version. That is how the BakePilot app for iOS and Android with push notifications was built.
A comparison of three approaches to building mobile apps
| Criterion | PWA | iOS and Android (Capacitor) | Native (iOS/Android) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Development cost | Lowest from €2,080 | Medium from €3,900 | High from €10,390 (×2) |
| Time to market | 4-8 weeks | 2-4 months | 3-6 months (×2) |
| App store publication |
Optional Works without stores |
Yes App Store + Google Play |
Required 15-30% commission |
| Updates | Instant | Store review 1-7 days | Store review 1-7 days |
| Offline mode | |||
| Push notifications | iOS 16.4+ | ||
| Hardware access | Partial Camera, GPS, microphone | Broad Push, camera, GPS, files | Full All features |
| SEO and discoverability | Google indexing | Stores only | Stores only |
| Annual maintenance | Low Hosting + domain | Medium + developer accounts | High 2 teams, 2 codebases |
For internal tools and B2B apps a PWA is usually enough. When the app has to be in the App Store and Google Play or needs device features, we build it with Capacitor from the same codebase.
Let's talk about your projectA proven process that minimizes risk and maximizes value
Workshops online or on site. We learn your business, users and competition. We define the MVP and the roadmap.
Wireframes, interactive prototypes, a design system. You test and approve before a single line of code is written.
Two-week sprints. A demo of a working version after each one. You can adjust course without major costs.
Functional, performance and security testing. Publication and production environment setup.
Monitoring, fixes, new features. We're with you at every stage of your app's growth.
Web systems and a mobile app that replaced spreadsheets, paper and retyping data by hand.
An ERP system for bakeries and confectioneries, as a web app and as an iOS and Android app from a single codebase (Capacitor), with push notifications and KSeF integration.

A PWA (Progressive Web App) is a web application installed from the browser onto the home screen. It works offline, supports push notifications and needs no App Store or Google Play publication, and updates reach users immediately. For internal tools and B2B apps it is usually the most sensible choice.
A simple PWA from €2,080 net, an iOS and Android app from a single codebase (Capacitor) from €3,900 net, custom systems usually €2,600-15,580 net. We quote every project after a free consultation and requirements analysis, usually within 2-5 business days.
A first working PWA version usually takes 4-8 weeks, an iOS and Android app 2-4 months, extensive systems 3-6 months. We work in two-week stages, so you see a working version after the first two weeks.
Yes. Thanks to Service Workers the app works without an internet connection, stores data and syncs once the connection is restored. This matters for apps used in the field, where coverage is often weak.
No. A PWA runs on both platforms from a single codebase. When the app has to be in the App Store and Google Play or needs device features, we build it with Capacitor from the same web codebase, as we did with the BakePilot app with push notifications on iOS and Android.
