Frequently Asked Questions

Rapptr Labs is a New York City based digital product agency that designs, builds, and scales mobile apps and web products for startups and enterprise brands. Over fifteen years, the team has launched more than 50 products, earned two Google Play App of the Year awards, and managed apps serving over 10 million monthly active users.

Rapptr Labs is headquartered in New York City, at 250 W 34th St, and works with clients across the United States and beyond. Most engagements run remotely with regular video check-ins, and NYC-area clients are welcome to meet in person.

Rapptr Labs offers end-to-end digital product development: AI integration, iOS and Android engineering, web development, UI/UX design, product delivery, quality assurance, app marketing, and post-launch scaling. You can engage the full team to take a product from idea to launch, or bring in a single discipline to fill a gap.

Yes, Rapptr Labs builds native iOS and Android apps as well as cross-platform apps with Flutter and React Native. The team recommends native or cross-platform based on your product's performance needs, budget, and roadmap rather than a one-size-fits-all stack.

Yes, Rapptr Labs integrates machine learning models, large language models, and computer vision directly into existing app architectures, and also builds AI-first products from scratch. Every integration is scoped for scalability, security, and long-term maintainability rather than a bolt-on demo.

Yes, Rapptr Labs has an in-house design team covering UI/UX design, branding, logo design, interactive prototypes, and motion design. Design and engineering work side by side, so what gets designed is what actually ships.

Most Rapptr Labs engagements fall between $25,000 and $300,000 or more, depending on scope. A focused MVP typically lands in the $50,000 to $150,000 range, while multi-platform products with custom backends and AI features run higher. Every project starts with a scoped estimate before any build work begins.

A launch-ready MVP from Rapptr Labs typically takes three to six months from kickoff to app store release. Timelines depend on scope, platform count, and integration complexity, and you will get a concrete timeline during the estimation phase.

95 percent of Rapptr Labs project estimates prove accurate. Estimation is a dedicated step in the Rapptr Playbook, handled by the product delivery team before build work starts, so budget and timeline are grounded in scoped requirements rather than guesswork.

Rapptr Labs follows the Rapptr Playbook, a process refined over fifteen years and organized around two phases: Build and Scale. Build takes an idea to a launch-ready MVP with the right balance of budget, scope, and quality. Scale grows a live product through ongoing development, strategy, and roadmap planning.

Rapptr Labs works with both high-growth startups building their first product and enterprise brands modernizing established ones. The playbook is built for founders and enterprises alike, and teams are assembled to fit each project rather than pulled from a fixed template.

Clients own all code, designs, and intellectual property created during a Rapptr Labs engagement, with everything handed off in repositories the client controls.

Yes, Rapptr Labs regularly inherits existing codebases from other developers and agencies. Engagements start with a technical audit to assess architecture, performance, and code quality before recommending whether to improve, refactor, or rebuild.

Yes, Rapptr Labs offers flexible post-launch support, from short-term boosts to long-term partnerships that operate as an extension of your team. That can include new feature development, performance optimization, and ongoing maintenance.
