Most small businesses in India waste money building mobile apps they don’t actually need. We honestly tell businesses whether they need an app or if a website would serve them better.
For basic business apps, our starting price is Rs 50,000. Our goal is to add real value to your business — we won’t recommend an app unless it genuinely helps you grow.
We’re based in Guwahati, serving across India. At Owkus Web Solutions, we make mobile app development affordable without cutting corners.
Do You Actually Need a Mobile App?
Not every business needs a mobile app. Before investing, it’s important to know whether your business will actually benefit from one.
You May Not Need This If
- Not enough regular traffic yet
- Customers don’t interact frequently
- Just started — need Google visibility first
- Budget under ₹50,000
You Do Need This If
- Repeat users who interact regularly
- Business involves bookings or orders
- Need push notifications and offline access
- Customers want quick mobile access
Here’s a real example — a restaurant owner in Guwahati approached us to develop a mobile app. We suggested they skip the Rs 80,000 app and improve their Google Business Profile instead. It helped them increase sales by 40% in 3 months, without an app.
A basic website costs around Rs 15,000 and starts getting traffic almost immediately through search engines. A mobile app costs Rs 50,000+ plus ongoing maintenance, updates, hosting, and app store fees. Get an app if you need it — not just because you want one.
Mobile Apps We Build (And What They Do for Your Business)
Business Apps (Rs 50,000 – Rs 1,00,000)
Small businesses often fail to stay connected with customers after their first visit. An app can build customer relationships, make booking easy, and keep people updated about your offers and services.
A local bakery was taking orders through phone calls and direct visits — missing calls and losing customers who couldn’t check availability. After launching a simple app, customers could check items, pre-order, and receive notifications about offers. They stopped losing customers and started getting more repeat orders.
E-Commerce Apps (Rs 80,000 – Rs 1,50,000)
Online stores often lose customers after their first purchase — people forget to come back. An e-commerce app sends notifications about offers, new products, and festival discounts directly to your customers’ phones. Shopping becomes easy, quick, and convenient.
Service Apps (Rs 70,000 – Rs 1,20,000)
Managing field staff and keeping customers updated is challenging without the right tools. A service app tracks your staff, keeps customers informed about progress in real-time, and speeds up service delivery.
A salon launched a service app that helped manage staff schedules, increase bookings, and give customers a faster booking experience.
Custom Solutions (Rs 1,50,000+)
Some businesses have specific needs that don’t fit standard apps. Manual tracking, scattered data, or inefficient processes need custom solutions. A custom app is designed around your exact workflow and solves the specific challenges you face.
