Cheap mobile app development in Chittagong should mean a lower price, not a half-finished app you abandon in three months.
I am RH Fardin — a senior solo developer who builds Android and iOS apps for Chattogram businesses without an agency invoice attached. Whether you run a shop near GEC, a delivery service working the Agrabad-to-port stretch, or a trading firm that wants an app customers actually install, I design and ship the whole thing myself. Cheap mobile app development in Chittagong starts at 50,000 BDT here — 50% advance, 50% on launch, full design approved before a line of code is written, with bKash and Nagad payment built in because that is how your customers pay.
Senior solo operator, ~5 years building BD apps and sites. Design-approval guarantee. Direct on WhatsApp — bKash, Nagad or bank transfer.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

The first message I get from most Chattogram business owners is some version of "app banate koto taka?" — and they ask it bracing for a number with a comma they did not expect.
They have heard the horror stories: a Dhaka studio quoting four or five lakh for an app the business does not need at that scope, or a local freelancer near the New Market end taking 20,000 taka, going quiet for two months, and delivering a APK that crashes on a mid-range Android the moment a customer tries to log in. So when someone says cheap mobile app development in Chittagong, they have usually been burned by one extreme or the other.
The genuinely cheap option — the one a serious port-city business should want — is neither of those. It is the right scope, built properly, at a senior solo price that starts at 50,000 BDT.
Here is what makes the Chattogram app brief its own thing. This is a mobile-first market in a mobile-first country — your customer is on a phone, often a sub-15,000-taka Android, often on patchy 4G somewhere between Agrabad and Halishahar, and they will judge whether to keep your app in the first ten seconds. If it is slow to open, heavy to download, or asks them to type a card number, it is gone.
What they expect instead is bKash or Nagad at checkout, a one-tap OTP login on their number, and an app that is light enough to sit on a phone already crammed with a hundred others. Half the cheap apps I am asked to rescue failed not because the idea was wrong, but because the builder ignored how Chittagong actually uses a phone.
When you hire me you are not hiring an agency where a salesman wins the work and a junior you never meet writes the code. I am the discovery call, the app flow, the screens in Figma, the build itself, the bKash and Nagad integration, the Play Store and App Store submission, and the person who picks up on WhatsApp when something needs fixing after launch. One senior operator, around five years deep into building apps and sites for Bangladeshi businesses, one thread for the whole project.
That single point of accountability is the real reason cheap does not have to mean broken here — there is no layered team quietly cutting corners on your build to protect a margin, and nobody disappears once the advance clears.
Pricing is honest and fixed. 50,000 BDT is the floor — a focused single-purpose app: a clean catalogue or booking flow, OTP login, and a bKash or Nagad payment line that actually works. 90,000 BDT covers a fuller app with user accounts, order history, push notifications and an admin panel you control yourself. 1,50,000 BDT is a multi-feature build — think a proper ordering, delivery or service app with live status and roles. Fully custom apps built from a blank canvas start from 3,00,000 BDT.
Always 50% advance and 50% on launch — bKash, Nagad or bank transfer — and you approve the full design before I write a single line of code. Cheap here means I cut the agency overhead out of your invoice, not the parts that decide whether the app survives.
Six things a Chattogram business genuinely needs in an app — and all six are standard from the 50,000 BDT floor, not features hidden behind a bigger package.
You pay one experienced operator from 50,000 BDT — not a studio rate carrying office rent, project managers and a markup. The saving is the overhead, never the parts of the app a customer actually touches.
Payment through bKash and Nagad is set up from the start, because almost nobody in Chittagong is reaching for a card. Your customer pays the way they already pay, and the app does not lose them at checkout.
Built to install fast and run smoothly on a sub-15,000-taka phone on Agrabad 4G — not just on a flagship in your office. A heavy, laggy app is the first thing a customer uninstalls to free up space.
One codebase ships to both the Play Store and the App Store, so you reach the bulk of your customers on Android and the higher-spend iPhone users without paying twice for two separate native apps.
You update products, prices, orders and notifications yourself from a simple panel — no calling me every time a price changes. From the 90,000 BDT tier this is standard, not a paid add-on you discover later.
No code starts until you sign off every screen in Figma. If a flow does not fit how your customers behave, we fix it on screen first. You never pay the second half for a build you did not approve.
There is a graveyard of dead apps behind the cheap-app market in Chattogram, and the cause of death is almost always the same. A business owner pays a freelancer 20,000 or 25,000 taka, gets an APK with no Play Store listing, no bKash, an OTP login that fails on certain operators, and an admin side that only the freelancer can touch — who is now unreachable.
Within three months the app crashes on the most common phones in the city, the owner cannot update a single price, and the whole thing quietly gets uninstalled by the few customers who ever downloaded it. That is not a cheap app. That is money set on fire, plus the customers who now associate your business with a broken app. Low cost mobile app development in Chittagong is only a saving if the app is still standing a year later.
The lane I work in is the honest version of cheap. I do one app at a time, I look at how your customers in Chattogram actually behave — what phone they hold, how they pay, how patient they are on a slow connection — and I build the smallest app that genuinely does the job, properly, instead of a bloated app that does ten things badly.
Every screen is approved in Figma before I write code, bKash and Nagad go in from day one, the app is tested on real low-end Androids, and it goes live on both stores under your own developer accounts so you are never locked to me. The price is fixed at 50,000 BDT for a focused build, 50% on signing and 50% on launch, no retainer trap and no fake monthly "maintenance" bill for nothing.
If you want mobile app development in Chittagong BD that you will not be re-commissioning next year, what you actually want is one senior person who has shipped real apps, will answer your WhatsApp after launch, and will not vanish the moment your advance clears.

Straight answers to what Chattogram business owners ask me on the first WhatsApp message.
My app builds start at 50,000 BDT for a focused single-purpose app — a clean catalogue or booking flow, OTP login on the customer's number, and a working bKash or Nagad payment line. 90,000 BDT adds user accounts, order history, push notifications and an admin panel you control yourself. 1,50,000 BDT covers a fuller multi-feature app such as a proper ordering, delivery or service app with live status and roles. Fully custom apps start from 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is always 50% advance, 50% on launch — bKash, Nagad or bank transfer. Cheap here means a senior solo price, not a cut-corner build that dies in three months.
Because they are not the same product. A 20,000-taka app is usually a bare APK with no Play Store or App Store listing, no real bKash integration, an OTP login that fails on some operators, and an admin side only the freelancer can use — and they tend to go quiet once paid. At 50,000 BDT you get an app built and tested on real low-end Androids, live on both stores under your own accounts, with bKash and Nagad working from launch, shipped by one senior operator who answers when you message after go-live. The 20,000 app costs you more once you count the rebuild.
Yes, and for Chittagong I treat it as essential, not optional. Almost none of your customers are reaching for a credit card — they pay with bKash or Nagad on their phone. I set up the payment flow so checkout happens the way your customers already pay, which is the single biggest difference between an app that converts and one that loses people at the last step. This is built in from the 50,000 BDT floor.
That is exactly what I build for. Most of Chattogram is on sub-15,000-taka Androids, often on uneven 4G, so I keep the app light to download and smooth to run on those phones — not just on a flagship sitting in your office. I test on real low-end devices before launch. A heavy, laggy app is the first thing a customer deletes when their phone runs out of space, so performance on cheap hardware is not an afterthought here, it is the brief.
Yes. I build from a single codebase that ships to both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, so you cover the large Android base across Chittagong and the higher-spend iPhone users without paying for two separate native builds. The apps go live under your own developer accounts — your Play Console and your Apple Developer account — so you own the listings and are never locked to me to publish an update.
No. After launch you get a settling-in period where I fix anything that surfaces on real customer phones, and because you launch under your own store accounts with an admin panel you control, you are never trapped. I do not push a fake monthly maintenance bill, but I am on WhatsApp if you want a new feature or an update later. The point of cheap done properly is that you are not forced into a retainer just to keep the app you already paid for alive.
