Please introduce your company and give a brief about your role within the company?

GameFirms is an award-winning mobile app development company headquartered in Toronto, NYC, and California. At GameFirms, we embody the mantra of 'idea to innovation.' We comprise a team of seasoned developers, technical experts, and dedicated professionals who are committed to delivering high-quality products. We specialize in mobile app development, web development, custom software solutions, and game development, and we equally serve startups and enterprises. As the Founder of the company, my primary responsibility is to steer the growth and effectiveness of our deliverables.

What was the idea behind starting this organization?

My lifelong passion for creating innovative and meaningful solutions inspired me to leverage technology in addressing challenges. This commitment drives us daily to exceed our clients' expectations and deliver products of the highest quality.

What is your company’s business model–in-house team or third-party vendors/ outsourcing?

We boast a passionate, amiable, and experienced in-house team that manages all stages of the product development cycle, from system analysis and wireframing to design, coding, quality assurance, and launch.

How is your business model beneficial from a value-added perspective to the clients compared to other companies' models?

The cornerstone of our business model’s value lies in our technical capabilities, domain expertise, and strategic locations in Canada, NYC, and California.

What industries do you generally cater to? Are your customers repetitive?If yes, what ratio of clients has been repetitive to you?

GameFirms is a leading app development company in Toronto, Canada, with successful implementations across various sectors, including healthcare, restaurants, on-demand services (taxi, online food ordering), fitness, real estate, logistics, and blockchain development. Approximately 40% of our clientele is repetitive, while 60% maintain a long-term partnership with us.

Mention the objectives or the parameters critical in determining the time frame for developing a mobile app.

There is no specific formula to ascertain a development timeline. The time frame is contingent upon the application's functions and the number of screens. We advise clients to submit project requirements to the app development company upon signing an NDA to outline a comprehensive development plan. At GameFirms, we offer a complimentary consultation.

How much effort in terms of time goes into developing the front end and back end of a mobile app?

The time investment for developing the front end and back end varies based on application structure, modules, and functions. A typical ratio that we observe is 1:3.

What are the key parameters to be considered before selecting the right platform for a mobile application?

Every product or app targets specific demographics and locations. Utilizing the 5Ps of marketing, we determine the most suitable platform for application development. Platform support also serves as a critical parameter, and it is often the case that clients prefer to develop applications for both platforms.

Which platform do you suggest your clients, to begin with when they approach you with an idea (Android or iOS) and why?

The choice between Android and iOS hinges on the client's requirements and preferences, including location, user demographics, and personal interest. Based on our extensive experience, iOS (iPhone/iPad) emerges as the default choice for many clients, though numerous clients also opt for Android as their preferred starting platform.

Android or iOS, Native or Hybrid — which platform is best to use to build your app? What are your recommendations?

The decision between Android or iOS is based on the specific requirements and business model, which varies according to the project scope. Approximately 70% of clients prefer to develop applications for both platforms. We advocate for native application development due to its advantages in speed, user responsiveness, and advanced graphical user interface experience. Conversely, hybrid platforms may offer a more competitive cost compared to native development. Our in-house team includes both native and hybrid app developers, though we primarily recommend native app development.

What are the key factors that you consider before deciding the cost of a mobile application?

When assessing project scope, we consider several parameters, including the number of features, platform selection, required skilled resources, and timeline demands.

What kind of payment structure do you follow to bill your clients? Is it Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone (could be in phases, months, versions etc.)

We offer a flexible development model and payment structure. Our fixed-cost development, coupled with a pay-per-milestone approach, assures clients that they are investing in what they have received. Many of our clients operate on a dedicated model with monthly billing cycles.

Do you take in projects which meet your basic budget requirement? If yes, what is the minimum requirement? If no, on what minimum budget you have worked for?

Our mission is to translate ideas into innovation. We are dedicated to supporting startups, small business owners, and individuals in bringing their concepts to fruition, and do not concentrate on a minimum budget.

What is the price range (min and max) of the projects that you catered to in 2017?

In 2017, GameFirms delivered over 50 mobile applications and 200 startup solutions, with project costs ranging from $5,000 to $100,000.

Which business model do you suggest to your clients enabling them to generate revenue from mobile applications? Why?

The recommended business model varies based on the product and platform. We incorporate integrated app purchases, ad banners, contextual ads, and subscription models.
