Why Softzee

Apps your customers will actually keep

Saudi Arabia has one of the highest smartphone usage rates in the world, and users here expect apps to be fast, polished and fully in Arabic. An app that feels translated, or that slows down under load, gets deleted.

We build mobile apps with React Native when you want one codebase for iOS and Android, and with native Swift or Kotlin when the app needs it. Every project includes the admin panel and backend your team will use to run it, not just the screens customers see.

Our team has shipped apps for gyms, travel, e-commerce and booking businesses, including Gym Passport and SkyRoute, which you can see in our portfolio. We work from our Riyadh office and our wider delivery team, on Gulf working hours.

Better than the usual options in Riyadh

Freelancers are hard to manage, local agencies are slow and expensive, and hiring in-house takes months. We built Softzee to fix all three.

How we work

Why build your app with Softzee

01

Arabic from day one

Right-to-left layouts, Arabic typography and bilingual content are planned in the first design, not patched in later.

02

One codebase where it fits

React Native keeps cost and timeline down for most apps. We tell you honestly when native is the better choice.

03

App Store and Play Store handled

We prepare listings, handle review rejections and manage releases so launch day is not a scramble.

04

Proven apps in production

Gym Passport and SkyRoute are live products we designed and built. Ask us for a walkthrough.

05

Riyadh office

Meet the team at our Riyadh office for workshops, demos and handover.

Design, build and launch are scoped and priced separately, so you stay in control of budget.

FAQ

Common questions

Anything else? Ask us directly.

How much does it cost to build an app in Saudi Arabia?

A simple app with a backend is a very different budget from a marketplace with payments and multiple user types. After a short call we give you a written scope with a fixed price for each phase, so you know the cost up front.

How long does it take to build a mobile app?

A focused first version usually takes 8 to 14 weeks from design to store launch. Larger apps are delivered in phases so you can launch earlier and add features after.

Should we use React Native or native development?

For most business apps React Native is faster and cheaper because one codebase runs on iOS and Android. We recommend native when the app depends heavily on device features or complex animations.

Do you build the admin panel too?

Yes. Every app comes with a web admin panel so your team can manage users, content, orders and reports without asking a developer.

Will we own the source code?

Yes. The code, designs and store accounts belong to you. We work in your repositories or hand everything over at the end of each phase.
