Mobile app development company in Saudi Arabia
S-Plus is a mobile app development company working with businesses in Saudi Arabia and across the Gulf. We plan, design and build iOS and Android apps in Arabic and English, connect them to the systems you already run, and keep them up to date after launch.
Start with the job the app has to do
An app earns its place on a customer's phone only when it makes something they do often faster: reordering, booking an appointment, tracking a service request, checking a balance or collecting loyalty points. If people deal with you once a year, a fast website will usually serve them better than an app, and we will tell you so. Before any design work starts, we agree on who the app is for, the two or three tasks it must make effortless, and how you will measure whether it is working.
Apps we design and develop
- Customer apps — ordering, booking, memberships and service requests for retailers, restaurants, clinics, salons and service companies.
- Companion apps for an existing platform — a mobile front end for a website, portal or ERP your customers already use.
- Staff and field apps — tools for sales reps, technicians, drivers and warehouse teams that read and update your internal data.
- Content and member apps — news, events, courses and member areas that bring an audience back week after week.
How our mobile app development works
1. Discovery and scope
We map the users, screens and integrations, then split the work into a first release and later phases. You launch with what matters most and avoid paying for features nobody uses.
2. Wireframes and UI/UX design
Wireframes show every flow before anything is drawn. The interface is then designed in Arabic, right to left, and in English, following Apple's and Google's platform conventions so the app feels at home on both.
3. Development and integrations
We build the app and the APIs behind it, and connect it to your website, ERP or CRM, your payment and delivery providers, and any third-party service it depends on.
4. Testing and store release
Every build is tested on real iOS and Android devices in both languages. We then prepare the store listings and submit the app to the App Store and Google Play.
5. Support and updates
Apple and Google release new operating systems every year. We keep the app compatible, fix issues as they appear, and add features in planned releases rather than rushed patches.
Native or cross-platform?
Most business apps are well served by a cross-platform build: one codebase for iOS and Android, lower cost to build and maintain, and new features that reach both platforms at the same time. Native iOS or Android development makes sense when an app leans heavily on device hardware, complex animation or features that exist on one platform only. We recommend one approach after discovery, based on what your app actually needs, not on habit.
Arabic-first apps for Gulf users
Users in Jeddah, Riyadh, Dubai, Kuwait or Doha switch between Arabic and English all day, and they notice at once when the Arabic screens are a mirrored afterthought. We design both languages from the start: real right-to-left layouts, Arabic typography that stays readable on small screens, numbers, dates and currencies shown the way local users expect, and copy written for each language instead of translated line by line. The app carries your brand; if the brand itself needs work first, our branding team can help.
An app for your online store
If you sell online, you may not need a custom build at all. Stores on Commera, the e-commerce platform built by S-Plus, can create a store app under their own name from the dashboard: arrange the home screen, build a signed Android app for Google Play, and download a ready iOS project, with push notifications included. When a store needs something the builder does not cover, we develop it as a custom app connected to the store. Planning the store itself? See our e-commerce store design service.
A backend you can rely on
An app is only as dependable as the servers and APIs behind it. We can run the backend on our managed hosting with SSL and backups, looked after by the same team that built the app. If you need a website alongside the app, our web design team in Jeddah handles both, so the two share one design language and one set of data. Tell us about your app idea and we will come back with a scope and a quote.

Questions about mobile apps
How much does it cost to develop a mobile app?
It depends on the number of screens, the platforms, the integrations and whether a backend has to be built. A focused first release costs far less than a full platform. Share your idea and we will send a scoped quote.
How long does it take to build an app?
Timelines depend on scope and on how quickly content and approvals arrive. We agree a schedule for the first release during discovery and plan larger features as later phases.
Do you build for both iOS and Android?
Yes. We build cross-platform apps that run on both from one codebase, and native iOS or Android apps when a project needs them.
Can the app connect to our website or ERP?
Yes. We develop and integrate APIs so the app works with your website, ERP, CRM and third-party services such as payment and delivery providers.
Who publishes the app on the App Store and Google Play?
We prepare the listings and handle the submission. We recommend that the app is published under your company's own developer accounts so it stays yours.
Do you support the app after launch?
Yes. We keep the app compatible with new iOS and Android versions, fix issues and add new features in planned releases.
