React Native App Development Company
React Native lets one team ship a native-feeling app to iPhone and Android from a single codebase, which is why it powers apps from Shopify, Discord and Microsoft. Pixiilab designs and builds React Native apps for startups and growing businesses that want both stores without paying for two separate builds.
We use Expo for faster development and over-the-air updates, and we handle the whole product: design, backend, notifications, payments, store submission and support.

Problems React Native solves
If you have typed any of these into Google, you are in the right place.
Native apps for both platforms cost double
One React Native codebase ships to iOS and Android with native components, for a fraction of two builds.
Choosing a framework
We recommend React Native because it shares a language and components with the web, and we'll say when native is the better call.
Web and mobile teams building the same thing twice
Shared skills, components and sometimes code between your website and your app.
Worried about performance
Native modules where needed, profiling and testing on real devices, so the app feels right on each platform.
Waiting days for store review to fix a bug
Expo over-the-air updates ship JavaScript fixes to users instantly, no store review needed.
What's included
Every engagement is scoped to your goals — here's where we typically start.
Cross-platform build
One React Native codebase that ships to the App Store and Google Play.
App design
Native-feeling flows and screens prototyped in Figma first.
Backend & APIs
Supabase or Node.js backends, auth, push notifications and payments.
Store launch & updates
Submission, review, over-the-air updates and crash monitoring.
One codebase, two stores, lower cost
Building native iOS and Android apps separately roughly doubles the work and keeps the two versions out of sync. React Native shares the large majority of code across both platforms while still using native components, so the app feels right on each device.
Because React Native is JavaScript and React, it shares skills, components and sometimes code with your website or web app. That makes a combined web and mobile product far cheaper to build and maintain.

React Native App Development questions, answered
Is React Native good enough for a production app?
Yes. It is used by some of the largest consumer apps in the world. For most business and consumer apps it is indistinguishable from native, and it is the right choice unless the app depends on heavy device-specific graphics or hardware features.
React Native or Flutter?
Both are solid. We recommend React Native because it shares a language and components with the web, which keeps combined web and mobile products cheaper to build and easier to hire for.
Can you add a mobile app to our existing web app or store?
Yes. The app connects to your existing backend or Shopify store through APIs, and shared authentication keeps the experience consistent.
How much does a React Native app cost?
It depends on features, integrations and whether a custom backend is needed. Every app is quoted as a fixed scope and fixed price after discovery, so there are no hourly surprises.
Who publishes the app?
We prepare the listings and handle review and submission under your own Apple and Google developer accounts, so you own the apps.
