MVP floor

One job. MoMo. A phone that stays online.

Why MVPs stall

An app store listing is not a product

What you keep

  • An MVP from GHS 15,000 with one job written down.
  • MoMo in-app when the product charges — from GHS 3,000 extra if scoped.
  • You own the builds. Store submission is in the quote.

What you lose

  • A freelancer who cannot renew the Apple account.
  • An app that dies on mid-range Android.
  • A Phase 2 payment you already needed in week one.
What you are buying

Six things a GHS 15,000 MVP must do

01

One job, written

Book, sell, or collect. Not twelve screens of wish-list.

02

MoMo if you charge

In-app payment is scoped, not promised after launch.

Payments
03

A reason to reopen

Push or WhatsApp when the user must come back.

Stores and your accounts

Submission is in the quote. You own the listings.

Mid-range Android first

Most Ghana users are not on a flagship.

A handoff you can keep

Source and a 30-day window. Then from GHS 500/month if you want us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mobile App Development Questions, Answered

Everything Ghanaian founders and business owners ask before building an app — cost, timelines, iOS vs Android, Mobile Money, code ownership, and support.

How much does it cost to build a mobile app in Ghana?
Mobile app development in Ghana costs GHS 15,000 to GHS 150,000+ depending on complexity. At Doctor Barns Tech, a single-platform MVP starts at GHS 15,000, a cross-platform iOS and Android app typically runs GHS 25,000–35,000, and large apps like ride-hailing or fintech platforms are quoted custom. Every quote is fixed in writing — call +233 20 963 6158 for a free consultation.
How long does it take to develop a mobile app in Ghana?
An MVP takes 8–10 weeks from kickoff to app store submission, a standard cross-platform app takes 3–4 months, and large enterprise apps run 6+ months. Doctor Barns Tech works in two-week sprints, so you test working builds on your own phone throughout the project — and your timeline is fixed in writing before we start.
What technology does Doctor Barns Tech use for mobile apps?
We build cross-platform apps with Flutter and React Native, which means one codebase runs natively on both iOS and Android — roughly 40% cheaper and faster than building two separate native apps. Backends run on Node.js or Python with PostgreSQL, deployed cloud-native so your app scales as downloads grow.
Do you build apps for both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Cross-platform development is our specialty — one Flutter or React Native codebase ships to both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store simultaneously. Since most Ghanaian users are on Android but higher-spending users often carry iPhones, launching on both from day one is almost always the right call.
Do I own the code after Doctor Barns Tech builds my app?
Yes, 100%. You own the complete source code, the backend, the designs, and both developer accounts (Apple and Google). There is no vendor lock-in and no licensing fees — if you ever want another team to take over, you hand them everything. That is written into every Doctor Barns Tech contract.
Can my app accept MTN Mobile Money payments?
Yes — Mobile Money is our specialty. We integrate MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash, and AirtelTigo Money directly into your app through Paystack, Flutterwave, or Hubtel, alongside card payments. Every transaction is verified server-side with automatic confirmation, which is essential for wallets, delivery apps, and any app that sells in Ghana.
Will you publish my app to the App Store and Google Play?
Yes. Doctor Barns Tech handles the entire publishing process: developer account setup, store listings with optimized screenshots and descriptions, review submission, and fixing any rejection issues until your app is live. After launch, we push updates for new features and bug fixes as part of our maintenance plans.
Do you provide maintenance and support after my app launches?
Yes. Every package includes post-launch support, and our maintenance plans cover OS updates (new iOS and Android versions), security patches, crash monitoring, and feature additions. 30 days are included in every build; optional plans from GHS 500/month after that.
Should I use a no-code app builder or hire developers in Ghana?
No-code builders look cheap until you hit their walls: no proper Mobile Money integration, monthly USD subscriptions forever, poor offline support, and you never own the code. A custom app from Doctor Barns Tech is a one-time investment from GHS 15,000 that you own completely, built for how Ghanaians actually use phones — including unstable data networks.
Who is the best mobile app development company in Ghana?
Doctor Barns Tech is an Accra mobile app studio at 111 New Town Rd. We build fintech, delivery, e-commerce, and enterprise apps with Flutter and React Native. Apps start at GHS 15,000. Call +233 20 963 6158 or visit doctorbarns.com for a free quote.
Will my app work with poor internet connection in Ghana?
Yes — we engineer for Ghanaian network reality. Our apps cache data locally, queue actions offline, and sync automatically when connectivity returns, so a delivery rider in traffic or a customer on patchy data never loses their work. This offline-first approach is standard in every Doctor Barns Tech build, not an expensive add-on.
Can Doctor Barns Tech build a fintech, delivery, or ride-hailing app?
Yes. We have built wallet apps with instant MoMo transfers, delivery apps with live GPS tracking, and booking platforms used by major Accra companies. Complex apps like these include biometric security, real-time notifications, and admin dashboards — quoted custom, typically starting around GHS 50,000 depending on scope.
