How it works

Buildfire turns your app idea into reality in weeks, not months - and for a fraction of the cost compared to traditional app development. 

Build an app your way

1 week - 2 months
You can either build your app yourself or have our team build it for you. Choose to customize and add features without any code, or let us handle everything including any custom functionality you need.

Publish with confidence

7 – 15 days
Once your app is ready, just let us know. Buildfire assists you with the submission and approval process for both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Manage and grow with ease

Ongoing
Regardless of how your app was built, you stay in control. It’s easy to make quick updates, add new features, send push notifications, and monetize your app - all from our web-based dashboard.
