Native Android development is what Anoint Tech does most of. We have shipped apps to the Play Store across devotional, civic-tech, and B2B categories, and we know the quirks — Google Play Console review cycles, foreground-service policy, payment-gateway SDKs (Razorpay for India, Stripe and Google Play Billing globally), offline sync patterns on unstable mobile networks, and every other obstacle that tends to stretch a two-week feature into a two-month saga. We price against real experience, not estimates.
What you get

How we work
Every Android project starts with a one-hour scoping call to understand the user flow and your deployment timeline. We return a fixed-price proposal with a week-by-week milestone plan. Development runs in two-week sprints with a testable APK delivered at each milestone — install via Firebase App Distribution. We handle the Play Store submission, respond to policy questions from Google, and coach you through the first round of production crash triage.
Pricing guidance
A single-activity utility app with one or two screens typically starts at $1,500 USD / ₹1,20,000 and takes three to four weeks. A full-featured consumer app with authentication, content library, offline mode, and payments typically starts at $5,500 USD / ₹4,50,000 and takes ten to fourteen weeks. Every quote includes the Play Store submission and the first post-launch bug-fix cycle at no extra charge.
Why work with us
Android is our strongest discipline. We have learned it in a market where users run mid-range devices on unstable networks — which means the apps we ship are leaner, more offline-friendly, and more battery-efficient than what you typically get from teams optimising for flagship devices. We work async with clients across nine time zones, deliver fixed-price quotes, and we do not disappear between sprints.
Frequently asked questions
Do you build native or cross-platform?
Native Android in Java and Kotlin. We do not use React Native, Flutter, or Cordova. Native gives us full access to platform APIs, predictable performance on mid-range devices, and clean integration with the Play Console review process.
What does your Android engagement include?
Every engagement includes Firebase backend setup, Razorpay or Stripe integration where relevant, Play Console listing prep (graphics, descriptions, content rating), pre-launch internal testing, and first-cycle post-launch crash triage.
How do you handle Play Store reviews and policy?
We have shipped apps that cleared Play's foreground-service media playback review on first submission. We handle the policy declarations, data safety form, and any clarifications Google requests. If your app is rejected during review, fixing the rejection is included in the engagement.
Can you publish under our company's Play Console account?
Yes. We can publish under your developer account or our own. Most clients prefer their own — it preserves install history, reviews, and analytics in their name from day one.
Do you support older Android versions?
We target Android 8.0 (API 26) and above by default, which covers ~95% of active devices in India. We can extend back to API 21 if your audience requires it, with a small additional cost for the extra QA cycles.
