Mobile app development for founders and companies

Have an app idea and looking for someone to build it from scratch? I’m Dragoș Holban, a full-stack developer with over 10 years of experience. Through Pixery I build iOS and Android apps end to end: from clarifying the idea to publishing on the App Store and Google Play, and maintenance after launch.

I work remotely with clients across Romania and abroad. I’m based in Iași, and in-person meetings are possible on request.

How we work

  1. 1. Clarification. We define who uses the app, which flows are essential, and what the first version needs to validate. You get a prioritized feature list, the technical direction, and a launch plan.
  2. 2. Building the MVP. I develop the first working version, with weekly deliveries and demos. At the end you have a product real users can test, not a visual prototype.
  3. 3. Stabilization and launch. We prepare the store releases and fix the issues that show up with the first users.
  4. 4. After launch. You can continue with the monthly subscription, from €900/month, for maintenance, improvements, and new features.

You always talk directly to me, the person writing the code. No project managers, no middlemen.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a mobile app cost?

A first launch-ready version (MVP) starts at around €6,000 for an appointment booking app and goes up to €10,000–20,000 for more complex products with multiple user types or integrations. You get the exact price after a free call, in a proposal with clear deliverables.

How long does it take to build a mobile app?

Between 3–5 weeks for a simple product and 10–14 weeks for a complex one, starting from scope confirmation. You get regular demos along the way.

Do you only work with clients in Romania?

No. Pixery is based in Iași, Romania, but I work remotely with founders and companies across Romania and abroad, in English or Romanian. For clients in Iași, in-person meetings are possible on request.

Do you build apps for both iOS and Android?

Yes. I use Flutter, which allows a single codebase for iOS and Android, plus backend, APIs, and publishing to the App Store and Google Play.

Who owns the source code?

For projects built specifically for you, the source code is yours once paid for. The details are set out in the proposal before work starts.

What happens after the app launches?

The app can keep evolving through the monthly subscription, from €900/month, covering maintenance, support, improvements, and new features.
