Mobile app development for businesses in Latin America

At 150 Por Ciento we design, build and ship native and cross-platform mobile apps with measurable business impact. We don’t deliver prototypes that die in a demo: we publish apps to the App Store and Google Play, ready to operate, scale and be measured.

We work with startups and companies in healthcare, fintech, consumer goods, education and the public sector across Latin America.

What we solve with mobile development

Most companies don’t need “an app” — they need to solve this:

Business ideas that must be validated fast with a working MVP, not a PowerPoint
Existing apps that are slow, unstable or impossible to maintain
Sales and support processes losing customers because they don’t live on mobile
Internal teams running on spreadsheets and WhatsApp instead of purpose-built tools
Web products that need to reach mobile without doubling the development cost

An app is not a goal: it’s a channel that must pay for its own development.

Native or cross-platform app? When each one makes sense

It depends on the product, not the trend. Our rule of thumb:

Native (Swift, Kotlin): when performance, hardware (camera, sensors, Bluetooth) or the platform experience are the product
Cross-platform (React Native, Flutter): when speed to market and a single codebase for iOS and Android outweigh the last 5% of performance
Hybrid or PWA: when the budget calls for validating the idea before investing in the stores

As a full-stack agency we have no technology to “sell”: we recommend the optimal stack for your case and back it with data.

What kind of solutions we deliver

Native iOS apps with Swift and SwiftUI
Native Android apps with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose
Cross-platform apps with React Native and Flutter
Mobile MVPs to validate a product in weeks, not months
Rescue and redesign of existing apps with performance or maintenance problems
Publishing, basic ASO and ongoing maintenance on the App Store and Google Play

Note: Always connected to your backend, CRM or ERP. Never isolated.

How we do it

1. Product discovery

We understand the business model, not just the requirement
We define the minimum scope that validates the idea
We decide native vs cross-platform together, with technical justification

2. UX/UI design and architecture

Navigable prototype before writing any code
Data architecture, APIs and integrations
Human Interface (iOS) and Material Design (Android) guidelines

3. Iterative development

Biweekly deliveries with installable builds (TestFlight, Firebase App Distribution)
Testing on real devices
Analytics and metrics wired in from the first build

4. Release and evolution

Full management of accounts, listings and store review
Crash and performance monitoring
Evolution roadmap driven by usage data

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to develop a mobile app in Latin America?

A professional MVP starts at 5,000 USD. An app with its own backend, integrations and custom design usually runs between 15,000 and 60,000 USD depending on scope. We quote with a closed scope after a free initial discovery.

React Native, Flutter or native development?

It depends on the product. Native when performance or hardware are critical; React Native or Flutter when you want iOS and Android with a single team and a faster launch. During discovery we recommend one with technical justification, not internal preference.

Do you publish the app to the App Store and Google Play for me?

Yes. We manage the developer accounts, prepare the listings, get through Apple’s and Google’s review, and leave the app published and monitored.

How long does it take to develop an app?

A typical MVP takes 8 to 12 weeks from kickoff. Products with complex integrations or regulatory requirements (healthcare, fintech) can take 4 to 6 months.

Do you provide maintenance after launch?

Yes. We offer continuous evolution plans covering operating system updates, bug fixes, new features and metrics monitoring.
