Consumer and marketplace apps
Onboarding, profiles, search and feeds, Stripe or Apple Pay checkout, Stripe Connect payouts to providers, ratings and support, with an admin console and analytics from day one.
SpikeSecure builds iOS and Android apps for US startups and businesses from Coimbatore, India: Flutter or React Native apps with a NestJS backend, Stripe and Apple Pay, real-time video and audio on Agora or LiveKit, wallets, payouts and moderation, published under your Apple and Google developer accounts on a fixed-scope USD proposal.

SpikeSecure is a mobile app development company in Coimbatore, India, that builds iOS and Android apps for US startups, SMEs and product teams remotely. Most US apps are built on Flutter (one codebase for both stores) with a NestJS backend on AWS US regions; React Native when your web team is React-first; Swift and Kotlin where a native feature demands it. Apps are published under your own Apple Developer and Google Play accounts, so ownership never passes through us.
The category we know best is real-time: video and audio calling, live rooms, per-minute wallets, payouts, KYC and AI moderation, because we build and run Local Friends, our own calling platform, on exactly that stack. US teams building video consultation, dating, social, party or creator apps get those modules as a starting point rather than a blank page; see video calling app development.
Onboarding, profiles, search and feeds, Stripe or Apple Pay checkout, Stripe Connect payouts to providers, ratings and support, with an admin console and analytics from day one.
One-to-one calls, group rooms and live streaming on Agora or LiveKit with wallets, gifting, KYC and AI moderation; the modules behind Local Friends, reused for consultation, dating, social, party and creator apps.
Video visits, scheduling, secure messaging, HealthKit and Google Fit integration, e-prescription hand-offs and HIPAA safeguards (BAA-backed hosting, audit logs, encryption) documented for your compliance officer.
Offline-first data capture, GPS and route tracking, barcode scanning, photo evidence, digital signatures and dispatch, synchronised to your ERP, CRM or a NestJS backend.
StoreKit 2 and Google Play Billing through RevenueCat or native code, paywall experiments, receipt validation and Stripe for web checkout where the store rules allow it.
NestJS APIs on PostgreSQL, role-based admin panels, push notifications, Twilio SMS and SendGrid email, HubSpot or Salesforce sync, and infrastructure as code in your AWS account.
US app users are the most demanding in the world on polish and the least tolerant of a slow launch: reviews arrive within hours, Apple's review guidelines are applied strictly, and privacy labels, tracking consent and payment rules are enforced. Building for the US means treating store compliance and privacy as scope, not as a launch-week scramble.
Apps are published under your Apple Developer Program and Google Play Console accounts. We prepare privacy nutrition labels and the Play data-safety form, App Tracking Transparency prompts, sign-in-with-Apple where third-party login is offered, account-deletion flows, and in-app purchase handling that follows the store rules; content and moderation policies for user-generated content are written into the scope because both stores require them.
Stripe with Apple Pay and Google Pay for physical goods and services; StoreKit 2 and Play Billing for digital goods and subscriptions, through RevenueCat where it saves time; Stripe Connect or RazorpayX-style payout rails for marketplaces and creator apps.
There is no single federal privacy law at the time of writing (September 2026); we design for the California CCPA/CPRA and the similar state laws (consent, access and deletion requests, do-not-sell links), HIPAA safeguards when health data is involved (BAA-backed hosting, audit logs, encryption), COPPA for under-13 audiences, PCI DSS scope kept inside Stripe, ADA-driven WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, and CAN-SPAM and TCPA rules for email and SMS. Your counsel signs off; we implement.
AWS us-east-1 (N. Virginia) or us-west-2 (Oregon), Google Cloud Iowa or Oregon, or Vercel, in your accounts with your billing; RDS or managed Postgres, S3 with encryption at rest, CloudFront or Cloudflare in front. Data stays in US regions unless you choose otherwise.
Our 09:30–18:30 IST day is 00:00–09:00 Eastern and 21:00–06:00 Pacific, so we agree a daily live window (typically 07:00–09:00 Eastern) and keep the rest asynchronous in writing. Releases are scheduled for your quiet hours with staged rollouts on Google Play and phased release on the App Store.
Login, a few core screens, a backend and admin, notifications and analytics. 8–12 weeks. roughly USD 4,500–9,000 as an indicative conversion.
Payments, real-time features, maps or chat, multiple roles, integrations with your systems. 12–20 weeks. roughly USD 9,000–17,000.
Multi-sided platforms, marketplaces, live video or large-scale social features, with several apps sharing one backend. 20–32 weeks in phases. roughly USD 17,000–34,000 and above.
Number of user roles and apps, real-time and media features, payments and partner payouts, verification and moderation, offline requirements, HIPAA safeguards, and native versus cross-platform.
Quoted and invoiced in USD through Stripe or Wise, or in INR if you prefer; the fixed price is set in the invoicing currency. We are an Indian entity and charge no US sales tax; your accountant advises on any use-tax treatment.
TestFlight and internal testing before public release; store submission and review handled by us under your accounts; staged rollouts and a launch-week watch.
Read how we choose between stacks on the technologies page.
Scheduled around the agreed USA overlap window; every step is written into the proposal.
Two or three video sessions in the agreed USA overlap window under a mutual NDA, mapping users, integrations and constraints; a fixed-scope written proposal follows, usually within 48 hours of the last session.
Wireframes, a design system and a clickable prototype reviewed with your stakeholders before any code is written.
Weekly demos on a staging URL, GitHub access from day one, a written Friday status note and a shared channel for questions.
Functional, performance, accessibility and security testing against a pre-launch checklist you sign off in writing.
Deployment to AWS US East or US West, Google Cloud or Vercel, in accounts you own, monitoring and backups configured, and a launch-week watch with you.
30-day warranty, then optional maintenance with monthly reports, or a documented handover to your team.
Signed before any brief is shared, on your template or ours; no sub-contractors without written consent.
Repositories, cloud accounts, app store listings, domains and design files are created in your name; we hold no licence over the delivered work.
HTTPS with HSTS, security headers, OWASP Top 10 review, role-based access, encrypted secrets, audit logs, dependency scanning and a penetration test before launch on client-facing systems.
There is no single federal privacy law at the time of writing (September 2026); we design for the California CCPA/CPRA and the similar state laws (consent, access and deletion requests, do-not-sell links), HIPAA safeguards when health data is involved (BAA-backed hosting, audit logs, encryption), COPPA for under-13 audiences, PCI DSS scope kept inside Stripe, ADA-driven WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, and CAN-SPAM and TCPA rules for email and SMS. Your counsel signs off; we implement.
Core Web Vitals targets, WCAG 2.1 AA checks, and SEO and AEO fundamentals (clean URLs, structured data, llms.txt) built into every web deliverable.
Documentation, infrastructure as code, tested backups and a recorded handover, so a US team or another vendor can take over without us.
SpikeSecure has one office, at CHIL SEZ IT Park, Saravanampatti, Coimbatore, India. US clients are served remotely by that engineering team; there is no USA office, entity or local staff, and we do not claim one.
Simple apps ₹4–8 lakh, mid-complexity apps ₹8–15 lakh and platform apps ₹15–30 lakh on our published Indian pricing, roughly USD 4,500–34,000 as an indicative conversion (roughly ₹87 per US dollar); the written USD proposal fixes the price. Apple and Google developer fees and any third-party API usage are paid by you at cost.
Flutter for most products: one codebase, both stores, native performance and the fastest path to launch; React Native when your web team is React-first and will maintain the app; Swift and Kotlin where a specific native capability (advanced camera, AR, BLE, CarPlay) demands it. We recommend in writing after discovery.
Yes, always. We work as a team member in your Apple Developer Program and Google Play Console, prepare listings, privacy labels and the data-safety form, submit under your accounts and handle review feedback. Ownership of the listing, the code and the users never passes through us.
Yes. Those apps reuse the calling, live-room, wallet, payout, KYC and moderation modules behind Local Friends, our own platform, on Flutter with Agora or LiveKit, adapted to Stripe, Apple Pay and US moderation and privacy rules. Party and group video hangout apps are the same live-room module with friends instead of strangers; see video calling app development.
By building to HIPAA's safeguards: BAA-backed hosting on AWS, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access and audit logs, secure messaging and session controls, and documentation for your compliance officer. HIPAA compliance is your organisation's status; your counsel signs off, we implement.
Our 09:30–18:30 IST day is 00:00–09:00 Eastern and 21:00–06:00 Pacific, so we agree a daily live window (typically 07:00–09:00 Eastern) and keep the rest asynchronous in writing. TestFlight builds go out weekly, the Friday status note lists decisions needed, and store submissions are timed for your working day so review questions can be answered quickly.
