Looking for an app development company and getting quotes that start at 30,000 euros? Most projects don't need that. I'm Reza Kandi, a developer from Essen, Germany, working worldwide under the brand Codebase24. I build web apps, customer portals and internal tools. In many cases a web app that runs on any device does the job, no app store, no review queues. And if you don't need an app at all, I'll tell you that too.

Your app runs in the browser and installs to the home screen. No store fees, no review process.
iPhone, Android, tablet and desktop all use the same app. That cuts build and maintenance costs.
If a website is enough, I'll say so. You only pay for what your project actually needs.
Booking, quoting, customer management. Custom tools that save your team time every day.
A short WhatsApp message is all it takes. You usually get an assessment with a price within a day.
You talk to the person who actually builds it. Remote worldwide, in German and English.
When people compare mobile app development services, they usually picture the app store. That's often the most expensive route. A web app runs in the browser, installs to the home screen and feels like a native app. The difference: you need one version for iPhone, Android and desktop instead of two or three separate builds.
The savings go beyond the build itself. No store fees, no review process, no waiting for update approvals. If I change something today, every user has it today. For booking tools, portals and internal applications, a web app is the better choice in 9 out of 10 cases.
Not every project needs an app. If you just want to present your services and collect inquiries, a good website with a contact form does the job. An app would be wasted money there, and I'll tell you that straight.
An app makes sense when your users come back and do something: book appointments, enter data, download documents, calculate prices. Anywhere a login, stored data or a process sits behind the scenes. The most common mistake I see: companies spend 20,000 euros on an app that a website with a form would have handled for a tenth of the price.
Many of my projects are tools that save time internally. A booking tool that replaces phone calls and email ping-pong. A customer portal where your clients pull invoices, documents and project updates themselves. A calculator that turns quoting from hours into minutes.
Internal tools are underrated. If your team manages orders, shifts or jobs through Excel sheets and WhatsApp groups, that costs you money every single day. A custom tool is often cheaper than a year of license fees for off-the-shelf software that never quite fits.
The process is simple. You message me on WhatsApp with what the app should do. We sort out the details in a short call and you usually get a quote within 24 hours. Then I build a first version you can test early. Your feedback goes straight into the build before everything is finalized.
Cost comes down to scope: how many screens are there, does it need logins and user roles, do other systems have to connect? A simple tool starts in the low four figures. A portal with login sits above that, and complex systems with integrations cost more accordingly. You get a clear number upfront, no surprises later.
FAQ
It depends on scope. A simple tool like a calculator or booking form sits in the low four figures, a customer portal with login and user roles in the mid four figures. Complex systems with integrations cost more. After a short call you usually get a concrete quote within 24 hours.
Usually not. Native apps pay off when you rely heavily on push notifications, camera or sensors, or your users open the app daily. For bookings, portals and tools, a web app almost always does the job at a fraction of the cost.
Small tools are often done in 1 to 2 weeks, a customer portal takes 3 to 6 weeks depending on scope. You see a first version early and give feedback before everything is built out.
I do. Web app updates go live for all users instantly, no store approval needed. Smaller changes are billed by effort, and if you want ongoing support there is a monthly flat rate.
