Social Media App Development Services

Two numbers, not one. There is the build, and there is a monthly bill that grows with every video uploaded and message sent, because storing, converting and delivering media costs money per active user, permanently. We model that running cost at proposal stage using real pricing from the video and chat services we would put behind your app, so growth is not a shock.

Four to seven months, plus room at the end for app review. Apps built around what users post get examined strictly, and a first submission often comes back asking for changes to how people block or report each other. We build those safety tools before submitting rather than after a rejection, and still keep a buffer for one resubmission.

Yes. The smallest honest version is one kind of post, one feed and one community you can actually fill with people. We normally start with photos and text and add video later, once you know people post at all, because video is what makes the monthly bill jump. Blocking, reporting and moderation tools are never cut.

We publish no client names by choice; introductions happen when we speak. The transferable work is what every social product shares: a follow graph that stays fast as it grows, a feed that loads in under a second, messaging, notifications people do not mute, and moderation queues. We build the graph and feed ourselves and plug in proven services for chat and video, usually Stream and Mux.

Profiles, a feed, messaging and reporting tools. That last one is not optional; it is what gets you through app review. Then notifications, search and follow suggestions, because a social app dies without an easy way to find people. If under-13s can sign up, we add age gating to meet COPPA, the American children's privacy law.

Because we show you the running cost before you commit rather than after launch. We also treat moderation as a staffing question: we build the queues and automated screening, but somebody on your side has to work them daily, weekends included, to meet the roughly twenty-four hour turnaround Apple expects. You own the code, the accounts and the data.
