Your Competitors Are Building Apps. Your Customers Are on Their Phones.

78% of UK consumers say they prefer using a dedicated app over a website for repeat service businesses. Businesses with mobile apps see 3x higher customer retention. Push notifications get a 90% open rate versus 20% for email. Every month without an app is a month your engagement and repeat revenue stays flat.

  • Mobile apps increase repeat customer engagement by up to 3x versus mobile websites
  • Push notifications outperform email open rates by 4:1
  • React Native cuts app development cost by 40 to 60% vs building separate iOS and Android apps
  • An app turns one-time customers into regular users — and regular users into advocates

React Native vs Native Apps: What UK Businesses Need to Know

How others do it

Building separate iOS and Android apps doubles your cost and doubles your maintenance. React Native uses one codebase to deploy on both platforms, delivering near-native performance — used by Facebook, Shopify, and Airbnb at scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Mobile App Development

How much does it cost to build a mobile app for a UK business?
Mobile app development for UK businesses typically starts from £1,000 for a simple cross-platform app and can reach £20,000 or more for complex, feature-rich products. Using React Native — a single codebase that runs on both iOS and Android — significantly reduces cost compared to building two native apps separately. Exora Leads builds React Native apps from £1,000, covering design, development, and App Store submission.
What is React Native and is it suitable for a UK business app?
React Native is a framework developed by Meta that lets developers build iOS and Android apps from a single codebase using JavaScript. It produces near-native performance and is used by large companies including Facebook, Shopify, and Airbnb. For most UK small and medium businesses, React Native delivers the same end-user experience as a fully native app at a fraction of the development cost.
How long does it take to develop a mobile app in the UK?
A straightforward mobile app typically takes six to twelve weeks from design to App Store submission. More complex apps with custom backends, payment integration, or real-time features can take three to six months. The timeline is heavily influenced by how quickly you can provide feedback on designs and how clearly the app requirements are defined at the start. Exora Leads works to a fixed scope and timeline agreed before development begins.
Do I need separate iOS and Android developers for my app?
Not with React Native. A React Native developer can build a single codebase that compiles and runs natively on both iOS and Android. This means you only need one development team rather than two separate specialist teams, which cuts both cost and delivery time in half compared to building native apps for each platform separately.
Can I get a mobile app built for my London business with a small budget?
Yes. Cross-platform development with React Native makes mobile apps accessible to small businesses with limited budgets. A well-scoped app with core features can be built from £1,000. The key is defining your MVP (Minimum Viable Product) clearly — focusing on the features that deliver immediate value rather than building everything at once. Exora Leads can help you scope and prioritise your app requirements during a free consultation.
