Mobile app development in Rwanda: iPhone and Android apps for your customers

A coach company whose buses leave from Nyabugogo still takes seat bookings and parcels by phone and notebook. An app puts seats, parcels and timetables in one place. Passengers book, and staff at the depot see the day's list at a glance.

Four plans, depending on what your customers need to do

  • Essential App

    A simple app to present your business, with the essential features. On one type of phone: iPhone or Android, your choice. For both, see the Pro App.

    Timeline: 10 to 15 days

    From €2,600

  • Pro AppOur pick

    Your customers create an account and always see your up-to-date information. Your messages appear on their phone screen, such as offers, reminders or news. On iPhone and Android.

    Timeline: 15 to 20 days

    From €4,400

  • Business App

    Your customers have their account, receive your messages and pay directly in the app, without leaving it. On iPhone and Android.

    Timeline: 20 to 30 days

    From €7,200

  • Custom App

    For large projects: a platform where several sellers offer their products, with live tracking. Everyone has their own access, and you manage everything from a complete back office.

    Timeline: 30 days or more

    From €14,000

Starting prices, excluding taxes (any taxes depend on your country or territory and your situation; the quote specifies them), in euros. After a free 20-minute call, you receive a written quote within 48 hours.

You pay in three stages, as the project progresses, never everything upfront

  • 30% at the start

    The project begins: we design the screens of your app and set the schedule with you.

  • 40% when you approve the test version

    You test the app on your own phone before it is published.

  • 30% on delivery

    Your app is live on the App Store (iPhone) and Google Play (Android). We hand over its source code, the files that make it work.

Apps that fit how Rwanda works

  • Transport and parcels from Nyabugogo

    Passengers reserve a seat, senders track a parcel and the recipient gets a message on arrival. Your staff stop copying names from one notebook to another.

  • A language school in Huye

    Students see their timetable, receive room changes and message the office. Your staff publish each change once instead of calling every class.

  • Payments in the app and EBM

    If your app takes payments, each taxable sale must still be invoiced through the EBM. We work out how with you and your accountant before the build.

After launch: looking after your app

How the project runs

  1. Free call

    A free 20-minute call to understand your business and spot what costs you time or customers.

  2. Written quote

    Within 48 hours: what we will build, the timeline and the price. Nothing starts without your approval.

  3. Build

    You follow progress every week and test everything yourself before launch.

  4. Launch and follow-up

    We go live, look at what works and adjust with you. For a website or an app, the first month of support is included; for an AI agent, follow-up is part of the subscription.

Frequently asked questions

Does an app that takes payments need EBM?
Yes. In Rwanda, every taxable sale needs an EBM invoice, whether or not the business is registered for VAT. We choose the right set-up with you and your accountant.
Can the app be in English and French?
Tell us who your Rwandan users are and which language they read. We agree the app's languages during the free call, and the quote states them.
Where is my customers' data stored?
We tell you the hosting location in writing. Storing it outside Rwanda needs NCSA authorisation, and our note gives the details your request needs.
iPhone, Android, or both?
The Essential App works on one of the two, your choice. From the Pro App, it works on iPhone and Android: we build it once for both, which lowers the price and the timeline.
Who puts the app on the App Store and Google Play?
We do. It is published on Apple and Google accounts opened in your name, so that it stays yours. The registration fees charged by Apple and Google are paid by you: we state them in the quote.
Does the app belong to me?
Yes. Once the project is paid in full, the app is yours, with its content and its source code.
What happens after delivery?
The first month of support is included. After that, a monthly plan covers the updates required by Apple and Google, security and backups. The Business plan also includes up to 5 hours of changes per month (texts, prices, photos…).
