General questions
What does moblers do?
moblers is a full-lifecycle software development studio. We design and build mobile apps (iOS & Android), web applications and SaaS platforms, AI chatbots and generative-AI solutions, MVPs, and IoT-connected products — from strategy and UX through engineering, QA, launch, and support.
How long has moblers been in business?
Since 2007 — over 18 years. Apps and products built by moblers have surpassed 150 million installs, and our work has won industry awards including the Global Tech Awards 2024.
How fast can you deliver a product?
A focused MVP can launch in as little as 30 days using our AI-assisted development workflows. The published process is Kickoff (Days 1–5), Design & planning (Days 6–10), AI-accelerated build (Days 11–25), and Final QA & launch (Days 26–30), with clear deliverables each phase — see https://moblers.com/30-day-app-delivery/. Larger products take longer; we define a realistic timeline during discovery.
What are the deliverables in a 30-day engagement?
Kickoff brief and acceptance criteria; signed-off UI and architecture; staging builds with tests and CI/CD plus interim demos; release candidate, QA summary, and App Store / Google Play submission support or web/cloud deploy. You own the source code. Full details: https://moblers.com/30-day-app-delivery/.
What is AI-powered development, and does it lower quality?
We combine senior engineers with AI-accelerated workflows to deliver faster, while keeping human responsibility and quality assurance with our experts. AI assists with scaffolding, boilerplate and code generation, test generation, CI automation, and early UI prototyping drafts. Senior engineers lead architecture, security review, code review, product decisions, client communication, and final quality sign-off. Controls include mandatory senior peer review, automated CI scans plus manual QA, OWASP-mapped security practices, and client approval gates (scope, demos, release). Prefer less AI acceleration? Request a more traditional senior-led path at scoping — all shipped code is human-reviewed; tooling and process notes are available on request.
Should I build native or cross-platform, web or mobile?
It depends on your users, performance needs, budget, and time to market. Native (Swift/Kotlin) maximizes performance; cross-platform (Flutter/React Native) is efficient for both platforms; web apps reach everyone in the browser. We recommend the right fit during discovery.
How much does a 30-day MVP actually cost?
There is no approved public USD rate card. Every 30-day MVP is quoted against the scope locked in Week 1; the free estimate provides an expected scope, timeline, and ballpark range before you commit. Basic, Standard, and Premium are illustrative scope patterns, not fixed-price products: Basic is a tightly focused first version on one primary surface; Standard adds a second agreed surface and broader staging/test automation; Premium adds agreed third-party integrations and extra QA/security work. All remain subject to the same 30-day feasibility test. The public comparison point is that a focused build typically starts at about one-third of a comparable traditional-agency quote for the same locked scope; it is not a dollar promise. Request the current project-specific range at https://moblers.com/quote/.
What is included in the illustrative Basic, Standard, and Premium 30-day MVP scopes?
Basic: one primary mobile or web surface, the agreed core journey, a production-shaped first version, senior engineering review, CI and tests for agreed critical paths, manual QA, client approval gates, and source/repository handover. Standard: the Basic foundation plus a second agreed surface (for example mobile + web), staging builds, broader agreed tests and deployment automation, and twice-weekly demos. Premium: the Standard foundation plus integrations agreed in Week 1 (such as authentication, payments, analytics, maps, push, or another API), additional security/privacy review, and extra QA cycles. These are planning examples, not universal feature counts, platform guarantees, or fixed-price packages.
What exactly is a locked Week-1 scope?
It is the written delivery boundary approved at the end of Days 1–5: prioritized user journeys; target platform(s) and required parity; screens, states, and data objects; named integrations and access dependencies; performance, security, privacy, and compliance constraints; acceptance criteria and success metrics; explicit exclusions; and the client role authorized to approve scope and acceptance. The output is a kickoff brief, prioritized backlog, architecture outline, and signed-off acceptance criteria. moblers does not publish a universal cap on flows, screens, story points, or integrations because complexity varies; those limits are stated in each proposal.
What are examples of scopes that may fit a focused 30-day MVP?
Illustrative examples only: (1) Booking product — sign-in, browse availability, book/cancel, confirmations, and basic profile; excludes marketplace payouts and a complex operations suite. (2) Field workflow — sign-in, assigned-job list, job detail, status/photo update, and one agreed backend integration; excludes a legacy-data migration and advanced offline conflict resolution. (3) Grounded AI assistant — sign-in, ingestion of an agreed small document set, RAG chat, citations, feedback, and a minimal admin view; excludes training a model from scratch, enterprise multi-tenancy, and third-party certification. Discovery determines whether any example is feasible in 30 days.
What are the payment, extras, cancellation, and change-order terms for a 30-day MVP?
Deposit percentage, milestone payments, cancellation/refund rights, and change-order terms are not standardized publicly; the signed proposal and services agreement control them. Store submission support or an agreed web/cloud deployment is part of the published final phase, but Apple/Google review time is outside the 30-day window. Store accounts and fees, paid third-party licenses/APIs, usage charges, cloud infrastructure, compliance audits, and other external costs must be identified in the Week-1 scope and proposal; the public page does not promise they are included. New requirements after scope lock are assessed for time/cost impact and either replace agreed scope or become a written change/order or later phase.
Who owns the source code and IP?
You do. Clients receive full ownership of the source code, along with documentation, scalable architecture, and deployment support. Everything we build is yours.
Do you offer dedicated development teams?
Yes. Alongside our end-to-end project model, we provide senior, product-minded dedicated teams that integrate with your organization for sustained, long-term delivery.
Do you build AI chatbots and AI agents?
Yes. We build AI assistants and agents grounded in your data (using RAG), with guardrails, integrations, and human oversight, embedded into your product, website, or internal tools.
Which industries and clients do you work with?
We work with startups, growth companies, enterprises, and Fortune 500 brands across fintech, health/medical IoT, e-commerce, productivity, and more.
How do you handle security and sensitive data?
Security and privacy requirements are identified during discovery and locked with the project scope. The published delivery controls include human-led architecture and security review, mandatory senior peer review, automated CI checks, manual QA, OWASP-mapped practices, and client approval before release. moblers does not publish blanket organization-wide claims for a TLS version, at-rest algorithm, HSM, SOC 2/ISO 27001/HIPAA/PCI certification, data-residency region, retention period, IAM model, penetration-test frequency, breach-notification SLA, DPA/BAA/NDA terms, or subprocessor list. Required encryption, key management, RBAC/SSO/MFA, residency, retention/deletion, testing/audits, incident response, compliance evidence, and contractual controls are designed and documented per engagement and must be confirmed in the proposal before sensitive data is used.
How is AI-generated code reviewed, tested, and approved?
AI may assist with scaffolding, boilerplate/code drafts, test generation, CI automation, and early UI prototypes. Senior engineers review, edit, and approve AI-assisted artifacts before they become shipped code; humans remain responsible for architecture, security review, product decisions, and quality. Agreed automated tests run in CI against staging builds, followed by manual QA and client demos. Before launch, the team produces a release candidate and QA/test summary, resolves blocking defects against Week-1 acceptance criteria, and requires human quality sign-off plus the agreed client release approval. Named sign-off roles, test types, coverage thresholds, and scanning tools are project-specific unless written into the proposal.
Do you maintain and support products after launch?
Yes. We offer ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and iteration, and can provide a dedicated team to scale your product over time.
