Delivery App Development
We build complete delivery apps in Ecuador from $3,000 USD: customer app, driver app with GPS and web admin panel, published on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
One base, many kinds of delivery
The same architecture works for food, groceries, pharmacy or parcels. What changes is the catalog and the delivery rules.
Google Play and App Store publishing included
The base package already covers the full publishing process, optimized listings and approval on both stores.
Publishing on Google Play Console with an optimized listing (ASO), screenshots, video and privacy policy.
Publishing on App Store Connect, handling Apple review and compliance with their guidelines.
Developer accounts are registered under your company name: you own the published apps and the downloads.

What makes the price go up?
The base package covers the essentials. These are the factors we evaluate when quoting add-ons.
User and order volume
An app for one city does not cost the same as one prepared for thousands of daily orders: the architecture, database, concurrency handling and monthly server cost all change.
Number of businesses
Delivery for a single restaurant is simple and fits within the base package. A multi-restaurant marketplace with per-sale commissions and automated settlements is quoted separately.
Online payments
Integrating credit cards with Payphone, Datafast, Stripe or PayPal requires certifications, a sandbox environment and extra validation compared to plain cash on delivery.
Maps and live tracking
Google Maps and geolocation services are billed per usage. Live driver tracking adds a yearly cost that varies with the number of deliveries.
Coverage zones
Handling several zones with different fees, geographic boundaries and automatic driver assignment adds logic the base package does not include.
Integrations and custom design
SRI electronic invoicing, ERP connections, WhatsApp Business API or a fully custom UI design are quoted on top of the base package.
Recurring costs to consider
- Server and database
- ~$150 USD / year
- Apple Developer account
- $99 USD / year
- Google Play account
- $25 USD one-time
- Maps and push notifications
- Based on usage volume
Frequently asked questions about delivery apps
The base package costs $3,000 USD and includes the customer app on iOS and Android, the driver app with GPS, the web admin panel and full publishing on the App Store and Google Play. Features such as online card payments, multi-business, live GPS tracking or electronic invoicing are quoted as add-ons on top of that price.
Yes. The $3,000 USD base package already includes publishing on the Apple App Store and Google Play: listing preparation, screenshots, privacy policy and handling Apple review until the app is approved. Only the store fees are separate: $99 USD per year from Apple and a one-time $25 USD from Google.
The base package takes 8 to 10 weeks, including Apple review time, which normally takes 2 to 7 days. If you add extras such as online payments or multi-business, the timeline is adjusted in the proposal.
Yes. The driver app uses background geolocation to update the position while a delivery is active, with permissions declared according to Google Play and Apple policies. Drivers can go offline when their shift ends.
Yes, with the multi-business add-on. It allows several restaurants in a single app, a configurable per-sale commission, per-business reports and driver payout settlement, just like the best-known delivery platforms work.
The app is built on a scalable architecture. As you grow, only the server and map service costs increase; the application does not need to be rewritten. We advise you on when it makes sense to move to larger infrastructure.
Yes. We register the developer accounts under your company name and hand over every credential along with the source code. You fully own the apps, the downloads and your users data.
