What you get and what you pay.

A mobile developer found through staff augmentation or offshore staffing arrives on their own. Ours come with Azendo as the employer, a desk and hardware in our office, a Talent Success manager who coaches them on a plan built every quarter, and a service delivery manager who is your contact on every release.

Mobile developers, hired one by one for your app.

We search for the platforms and frameworks your app is built in, then assess every candidate ourselves. Few get through, because mindset and culture fit count as much as the mobile skills.

Where a dedicated mobile development team spends its sprints.

Companies hire mobile developers this way when the app is central to the business and needs people who stay with it, release after release. A dedicated mobile development team owns your release cycle from start to finish: features, store submissions, device support and the crash reports that come back. The developers we assign work in your codebase under your product owner, and they read your reviews and crash data before they propose a change.

  • Feature developmentNew screens and flows, built natively in Swift and Kotlin or in React Native and Flutter.
  • Release managementBuilds, TestFlight and Play Console tracks, store submissions and responses to review feedback.
  • Platform integrationsPayments, push notifications, maps, sign-in and the APIs your app relies on.
  • Device and OS supportTesting across the devices and OS versions your users run, and updates when Apple or Google change the rules.
  • Crash and performance workCrash reports and app vitals turned into fixes, sprint by sprint.
  • Code review and quality gatesReviews and automated checks agreed with your team before the first sprint.

What a dedicated mobile development team is.

A dedicated mobile development team is a group of iOS, Android or cross-platform developers who build and ship one company's apps, full time. You own the product decisions, the store listings and the code. Azendo employs the developers, keeps their skills current and runs delivery, so every release goes out on the schedule you agreed.

Where it pays off most

It pays off when the app is the product, or a large part of it, and releases keep coming: new features, new OS versions, store reviews. The developers who know your app's architecture stay on it, release after release, and you direct the work without running a mobile team yourself.

Questions about a dedicated mobile development team.

What does a dedicated mobile development team do?

A dedicated mobile development team builds and maintains your iOS and Android apps full time: features, releases, store submissions and fixes. With Azendo the developers are ours, employed and managed from Chiang Mai and Bangkok, and they work only on your app, under your product owner's priorities.

Should we build native or cross-platform?

It depends on what the app has to do. Native Swift and Kotlin suit apps that lean on device features, heavy animation or platform-specific design. React Native and Flutter suit a product that needs one codebase across both stores. We assign developers who know the approach you run today.

How much does it cost to hire mobile developers this way?

iOS and Android developers start from USD 2,400 per month, and React Native and Flutter developers from USD 2,200, at junior level and full time. Nothing is billed on top: delivery management, coaching from a Talent Success Manager, the office, the hardware, HR and payroll are all in the fee. See how the monthly fee is built.

Can you take over an app that is already in the stores?

Yes. The developers start with your codebase, your release history and your crash data, agree the quality gates with you, and take over the release cycle once they know how the app behaves in production. Until then they ship fixes alongside whoever runs releases today, so nothing stalls during the handover.

Who controls the App Store and Play Console accounts?

You do. The developer accounts, certificates and signing keys stay in your name, and the developers work with the roles you grant in App Store Connect and Play Console. The apps, the reviews and the user data stay yours from the first release, and you can change access at any time.

How do the mobile developers work with our backend team?

They join the same stand-ups and the same board, agree API contracts with your backend engineers and test against your staging environment. If you need backend engineers as well, a dedicated software development team joins under the same agreement.

How fast can you hire a mobile team?

Our time to hire is four weeks from signing. We agree it with you first, search for developers who know your platform and stack, and introduce them before anything is committed. You pay nothing until a developer has had their first day on your app.

Do the mobile developers work remotely?

Yes. They are offshore developers employed by Azendo, each assigned to you full time. They spend most of the week in our Chiang Mai and Bangkok offices and can work from home up to two days, always through a secure VPN. Your store accounts and release cycle stay yours, and you talk to them directly on Slack or Teams.

Service areas you can add to a mobile development team.

Each role joins under the same agreement, works in the same sprints and reports to the same service delivery manager. You add one when your product calls for it.
