Quick answer
A mobile app at Horizon Tech costs SAR 3,999, published in your name on both the Apple and Google stores from a single codebase, with delivery starting from 14 days depending on scope and written into the contract. The price covers the first year of server, hosting, domain, SSL certificate, OTP verification messages, store publishing, support and warranty. Only three things push the price above that number: unusual external integrations, multi-vendor marketplaces, and live tracking, all priced after a free analysis session.
The answer in one line
SAR 3,999. One app that runs on iPhone and Android, published on both stores through accounts in your name, with the full source code handed to you. That is the figure on our pricing page and the same figure written into the contract. No range, and no "starting from" that balloons after the first meeting.
We can write a single number because the package is built on Flutter, one codebase for both platforms, and on components we reuse on every project: phone-number sign-up and OTP, push notifications, the admin dashboard, maps and the payment gateway. What changes from client to client is branding, content, screen order and the type of business. That determines the timeline inside the scope, not the price.

Why you hear SAR 25,000 to 400,000 elsewhere
Those market figures are not dishonest. They price something different. Most companies build each app from scratch: paid analysis, interface design from a blank page, a custom backend and a team billed by the hour. Multiply hours by people by weeks and you reach SAR 25,000 for a small app and hundreds of thousands for a full platform. That is scope-based custom pricing, and it makes sense when your business logic resembles nobody else's.
The second reason is that the word "app" covers everything from a menu that takes an order to a platform dispatching thousands of drivers on a live map. The wide range reflects that stretch. So the first question for any vendor is not "how much" but "what does the price include and leave out". Our approach is the reverse: a proven structure adapted to your brand, so the price is known before the first call. If your project needs unique logic, we price it after a free analysis session and write value and timeline into the contract. See mobile app development.
When the price actually rises
- External integrations: connecting to an existing accounting or ERP system, several shipping carriers, or a dedicated e-invoicing platform. Each needs a study of the other side's interface.
- Multiple vendors: a marketplace with many stores or providers needs settlement, commissions, a dashboard per vendor and return rules.
- Live tracking: a driver moving on the map second by second, with location streaming and separate map costs. Different from the location picking included in the package.
Branding, colours, screen order and a second language stay inside the package and affect the timeline, not the price.
Packages by business type
The number is the same but the screens differ by business. A store owner will find the online store package, a home-services provider the home services package, and a salon owner the salons and beauty package. Anyone who wants a website tied to the app behind one dashboard has the app-and-website package at SAR 4,399. Our published apps can be tried from the portfolio before you decide.
