Hirodots is a mobile app development company based in Lusail, Qatar. We build native iOS and Android apps and cross-platform Flutter apps, together with the backends and admin panels that run them.
Our team of 23 specialists works from our office in Burj Alfardan, Lusail — in English and Arabic, on Qatar time. Face-to-face meetings when you need them, and replies the same working day, not the next.

What we build
Native iOS & Android apps
When the app depends on raw performance or device capabilities — camera, location, push notifications, offline mode — we build it in Swift and Kotlin.
Cross-platform Flutter apps
One codebase released on both stores at once, with an identical experience and roughly a third less cost than building two separate apps.
Backends and admin panels
APIs, databases and a dashboard your team runs itself — orders, users, reports, permissions — without needing a developer for every change.
AI inside the app
Computer vision, number-plate reading, recommendations and workflow automation — where it solves a real problem, not because it is a trending term.
Integrations
Local payment gateways, maps, POS systems, IoT devices, and the HR and accounting systems you already run.
Maintenance and growth
iOS and Android OS updates, performance monitoring, bug fixes, and monthly development hours for new features.
How much does a mobile app cost in Qatar?
We quote a fixed price per phase after a scoping session — not an open-ended hourly estimate. You know the cost before you start.
Defined-scope app
40,000
One platform, a clear set of core features, and a store release.
Full platform
By scope
AI, hardware connectivity, or complex integrations with existing systems.
How long does app development take?
The usual schedule is two to four months. We work in short phases with a live demo every two weeks — you never wait two months to see something.

Testing and store review
Native or cross-platform?
It is the first technical decision you make, and it directly affects budget and timeline.
| Criterion | Native (Swift / Kotlin) | Cross-platform (Flutter) |
|---|---|---|
| Cost for two platforms | Highest — effectively two projects | About 30–40% less |
| Time to launch | Longer | Faster on both stores together |
| Performance | Best for heavy workloads | Excellent for most apps |
| Device features | Full and immediate with every OS update | Nearly full, occasionally delayed |
| Maintenance | Two teams, two codebases | One codebase |
| Best for | Games, heavy media, wearables | Business apps, delivery, bookings, company systems |
For most Qatar projects we see, Flutter is the right call. We recommend native when there is a clear technical reason — not by default.
Apps we have launched in Qatar
How we work
01 — Scoping session
We define what the project actually builds, and what waits for the next release.
02 — Design
Clickable screens you can see and try before a single line of code is written.
03 — Development in phases
A live demo every two weeks, and changes while they are still cheap.
04 — Testing and release
Testing on real devices, then we handle App Store and Google Play review.
05 — Support after launch
OS updates, monitoring, fixes and new features.
Why a team in Qatar
Offshore teams
Cheaper in the first quote, often more expensive in the end: the time difference turns a simple question into a lost day, and cross-border contracts make follow-up hard when something breaks.
We are in Lusail
We come to your office, work on your hours, speak English and Arabic, and know the local context — payment gateways, government requirements, and how organisations here actually operate.
