Your questions about building a game or an entertainment app.
How much does it cost to build a mobile game?
The price depends on the scope: number of screens, user accounts, payments, admin back office and integrations. For a game, the complexity of the mechanics, multiplayer and the graphics all affect the budget. The most reliable approach is to start from what you actually need. Our online estimate helps you scope it in a few minutes, then we get back to you with a detailed quote.
Do you develop games for iPhone and Android?
Yes. Depending on the game, we work natively (Swift, as for KRDZ) or cross-platform (React Native for Quizzer), to cover both stores.
How do you monetize a game or entertainment app?
In-app purchases, subscription or an item shop: the right model depends on the game. It has to fit into the experience, otherwise players leave.
Can you add a scanner to the app?
Yes. KRDZ recognizes trading cards with the phone’s camera to add them to the collection and display their value.
How do you handle moderation in a social app?
Reporting, blocking and admin tools are planned from the design stage. Quizzer, for example, includes a moderation module to keep the community healthy.
