Disclosure: App369 publishes this guide and is one of the five companies listed. It compares what each company publishes on its own website and its public Clutch profile, checked on October 21, 2026. It is not an independent benchmark, and no company paid to be included.
Key takeaways
- Four of the five publish a price: App369 (from $9,000 for iPhone and Android in Flutter), Intuz ($15,000–$40,000), Pharos Production (Android MVP $35,000–$85,000) and Bolder Apps (simple Android app $60,000–$100,000).
- Bolder Apps is the only firm here that publishes add-on prices for Wear OS, Android TV and Android Auto.
- Clutch review counts range from 6 (Bolder Apps) to 108 (Pharos Production).
- Several firms publish one minimum on their own site and another on Clutch, so get the price for your scope in writing.
- None of the five link a Google Play app on the pages checked, so ask every firm for Play Store links before you sign.

The best Android app development company depends on which devices your app must run on and your budget. Bolder Apps publishes prices for adding Wear OS, Android TV and Android Auto. Intuz publishes the lowest Android-only price band here. Pharos Production focuses on fintech, and Robosoft has a large share of smart TV work. App369 suits a first app that needs both Android and iPhone at a fixed price. To size your app first, try the free app cost calculator.
What an Android app development company is (and isn't)
An Android app development company builds native apps for Android phones and tablets in Kotlin, the language Google recommends starting with for new Android apps, usually with Jetpack Compose for the screens. Native code gives full access to Android devices such as Wear OS watches, Android TV and Android Auto, and to features like background tasks and home-screen widgets. This guide leaves out firms that only build cross-platform apps; those are compared in the mobile app development companies guide. For when native Kotlin is worth the extra cost, see Flutter vs Kotlin and the Android development service page.
How I compared these Android companies
I checked each company's own Android page and Clutch profile on October 21, 2026:
- Published price and timeline: Android prices, bands or timelines on the company's own site.
- Device work: which devices the company names, such as tablets, Wear OS, Android TV or Android Auto.
- Stack: whether the company names Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.
- Clutch data: minimum project, hourly rate, rating and review count, read the same day.
- Proof of work: named clients, Android case studies or Google Play links.
I didn't hire these companies or test their apps. Companies are listed alphabetically. The order is not a ranking.
The best Android app development companies in 2026
1. App369, best for a first app that needs Android and iPhone
App369 publishes this guide. It is one developer, Simon Dziak, in Miami, Florida. Its Android service builds native Android apps in Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, or one Flutter app for Android and iPhone when you need both. A Flutter app for both stores starts from $9,000, and a native Kotlin app is quoted in writing after you describe it. The instant quote gives a price range in about a minute. App369 has no Clutch profile; its Fiverr profile shows a 5.0 rating from 126 reviews (read October 13, 2026).
- Strengths: a published starting price of $9,000, below every Android-only price band listed here; you work directly with the developer; a choice between native and Flutter based on the features you need.
- Limitation: one developer, with no published Wear OS, Android TV or Android Auto work.
- Best for: founders and small businesses whose first app must work on Android and iPhone.
2. Bolder Apps, best for apps with a watch, TV or car companion
Bolder Apps says it is headquartered in Miami, and Clutch agrees, listing 15 US locations. Its Android article names Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, and covers Wear OS, Android Auto and Android TV. It publishes prices: a simple Android app at $60,000–$100,000 over 8–14 weeks, a mid-size app at $100,000–$180,000, and add-ons for Wear OS at $15,000–$40,000, Android TV at $30,000–$80,000 and Android Auto at $20,000–$50,000. It names clients including Joe & The Juice, Clearcover and Spendee. On Clutch it lists a $5,000+ minimum project and $50–$99 per hour, with a 5.0 rating from 6 reviews (read October 15, 2026).
- Strengths: the only published add-on prices for Wear OS, TV and Auto that I found here; a named modern stack; a US headquarters.
- Limitation: only 6 Clutch reviews, and its $60,000 simple-app price sits far above its $5,000+ Clutch minimum.
- Best for: US companies that want an Android app with a watch, TV or car companion and a budget range up front.
3. Intuz, best for mid-size Android apps on a smaller budget
Intuz is listed on Clutch with headquarters in San Ramon, California, and a second office in Ahmedabad, India. Its Android page names Kotlin, Java and Jetpack Compose, and covers Wear OS apps, tablets, Android Auto and connected devices, with publishing to Google Play, the Samsung Galaxy Store and the Huawei store. It names clients including Holiday Inn, JLL and AMG. Its FAQ publishes about $15,000–$25,000 for a basic app and $25,000–$40,000 for a feature-rich enterprise app, plus 6–8 weeks for an MVP. On Clutch it lists a $10,000+ minimum project and $50–$99 per hour, with a 4.8 rating from 54 reviews, and says it was founded in 2008 (read October 15, 2026).
- Strengths: the lowest Android-only price band here; a long Clutch record; named enterprise clients.
- Limitation: it also builds iOS, cross-platform and IoT work, and its page says enterprise apps take 3–6 months, which sits oddly with a $40,000 top price.
- Best for: businesses that want a mid-size Android or Wear OS app with a published price band.
4. Pharos Production, best for fintech Android apps
Pharos Production shows its address on Vegas Drive in Las Vegas, with an engineering office in Kyiv, and Clutch also lists Las Vegas. Its Android page offers native Android across multiple form factors, a paid discovery phase and testing on real devices, and says it turns down simple wrapper apps. Its Android page publishes $35,000–$85,000 for an Android MVP over 8–14 weeks and $85,000–$220,000+ for a production app. On Clutch it lists a $10,000+ minimum project and $50–$99 per hour, with a 5.0 rating from 108 reviews (read October 21, 2026), the most here.
- Strengths: the most Clutch reviews here at a perfect rating; published price bands; real-device testing and a discovery phase.
- Limitation: its work leans to fintech and Web3, with no named Android client.
- Best for: fintech and regulated companies that want a native Android app.
5. Robosoft Technologies, best for media and connected-TV projects
Robosoft Technologies is listed on Clutch with headquarters in San Francisco and ten locations, and says it was founded in 1996. Its Clutch profile puts Android at 30% of its focus and smart TV development at 25%, and one review describes a connected-TV app plus mobile and web apps across eight devices and four platforms. Its Clutch portfolio includes a media company, a bikers app on iOS and Android, and a maps platform with native Android and iOS apps, with the clients unnamed. On Clutch it lists a $25,000+ minimum project and $50–$99 per hour, with a 4.7 rating from 26 reviews and 250–999 employees (read October 15, 2026).
- Strengths: a large smart TV share alongside Android; a large team; 30 years in business.
- Limitation: its Android service page returned an error when checked, so this entry relies on Clutch, with no published price or named clients.
- Best for: media companies and larger projects where Android is one of several devices, including TV.

How to choose an Android app development company
- List your devices. Phones only, or also tablets, foldables, Wear OS, Android TV or Android Auto? Each adds work and testing.
- Ask which devices they test on. Get the list of phones and Android versions in writing.
- Ask for Google Play links. None of the pages checked for this guide link one, so ask for apps the firm built and still maintains.
- Decide native or Flutter early. Flutter vs Kotlin explains when one codebase for both platforms is the better buy.
- Own your Google Play developer account. The app should be published under your account, with the code in your repository. The mobile app handoff checklist lists the rest.
Get a price for your Android app
The instant quote for a mobile app gives a price range in about a minute. For a native Kotlin app or anything else, use the contact form and you'll get a written reply. Compare it with a quote from at least one other company on this list.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the best Android app development company?
- It depends on the app. Bolder Apps suits apps with a watch, TV or car companion, Intuz suits mid-size apps on a smaller budget, Pharos Production suits fintech, and Robosoft suits media and connected-TV projects. App369 publishes this list, so compare at least two.
- How much does an Android app cost in 2026?
- Published Android prices here run from $15,000–$25,000 for a basic app (Intuz) to $60,000–$100,000 for a simple app (Bolder Apps). App369 publishes $9,000 as the starting price for one Flutter app on Android and iPhone.
- Should my Android app be native Kotlin or Flutter?
