"Cheap" and "Gulshan" rarely belong in the same sentence. On this page they do, and the app still ships.
This is cheap mobile app development in Gulshan, built by one senior developer. I do the design, the code, the bKash and Nagad setup and the Play Store submission myself. No Gulshan-2 office rent sits in your bill, and no junior learns on your money. Apps start at 50,000 BDT. You pay 50% up front and 50% on launch. You approve the full design before I build a single screen.
From 50,000 BDT. 50% advance, 50% on launch by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer. Design approved in writing before any code. About 5 years building for the Bangladesh market.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.

Here is the trap. You run a business near Gulshan Avenue, Gulshan-1 or Gulshan-2, and you want an app. So you search for cheap mobile app development in Gulshan. You skip the glass-front agency with a front desk and a 12-lakh proposal. Good instinct. But say "cheap" out loud in this part of Dhaka and the wrong people show up.
They take 25,000 taka and send you four nice screens. Then they vanish once the hard part starts: payments, login, push alerts and Play Store review. Now you are stuck. One side is an agency that overcharges for the Gulshan address. The other side is a freelancer who undercharges and disappears. This page is the third option.
I am RH Fardin, a solo website and app developer. I have built for the Bangladesh market for about five years. I am not an agency. No office on Gulshan Avenue hides its rent inside your quote. That one fact is most of why I can offer low cost mobile app development in Gulshan at an honest price.
No account manager forwards your WhatsApp messages. No junior learns to set up bKash on your live project. The person who quotes you is the person who does the work. I design the screens, write the code and connect the payments. I also stay with your Play Store submission until Google approves it. You get one person, one number and one human to message directly.
Let me be clear about what "cheap" means here, because people misuse that word in Gulshan both ways. My lowest price is 50,000 BDT. That buys a focused, single-purpose app on one platform. Think a clean menu or catalogue with a contact and order flow. It is not a Pathao clone for the price of a Samsung phone.
The next tier is 90,000 BDT. It adds user accounts, bKash or Nagad checkout, push alerts and an admin panel. At 1,50,000 BDT you get order management, user roles, and Android and iOS from one codebase. Truly custom work starts at 3,00,000 BDT. That covers live tracking, many user types, or marketplace and delivery logic. That is the honest cost of the work, not a low bid that leaves you stuck later.
I will also be straight about scope on the first call. Cheap freelancers skip this part. Many Gulshan "app" ideas work better, faster and cheaper as a Progressive Web App. It installs from the home screen and works offline on weak data. It takes bKash payments and costs a fraction of a native build. If that suits you, I will say so, and you keep the money.
Some ideas truly need a full native team, such as background GPS for a fleet or deep hardware access. If yours does, I will tell you that too. I will point you to a Dhaka studio that does that work every day. Either way, you get the truth before you pay. The 25,000-taka quote never includes that.
Low cost in Gulshan should mean tight scope and no overhead. It should never mean a half-finished APK. Here is what you get from the 50,000 BDT tier up, with no premium add-ons.
Your quote pays for the build. It does not pay for a glass office on Gulshan Avenue and four salaried staff inside it. That is the whole reason the same quality costs so much less with me.
A cheap app is worthless if it dies at 80%. I stay on the hard last stretch until it is live. That means payments, login, push alerts and Play Store review. There is no junior to pass it to.
The 50,000 BDT tier is a real app with a careful scope. It is not a broken WordPress site stuffed into a free wrapper. Google pulls those from the Play Store within a week.
Mobile money checkout that really clears on a mid-range Redmi. It is not a tickbox a freelancer promised and never tested. Each gateway takes real merchant account and sandbox work.
The source code, admin login, Play Store and App Store accounts are all in your name. Cheap freelancers vanish because they keep these. I hand them over on launch day.
The quote is the price. You pay 50% up front and 50% on launch by bKash, Nagad or bank transfer. No "extra charge" SMS three weeks in. That is the Gulshan freelance horror story I refuse to repeat.
App quotes jump the moment your business address says Gulshan, and there is a clear reason. The agencies in Gulshan-1 and Gulshan-2 do not charge more because the work is harder. They charge more because their costs are huge. Rent on Gulshan Avenue, a front desk, a sales lead and an account manager all need paying. So do a project manager and two or three junior developers.
All of them get paid before anyone designs a single screen of your app. A 12-lakh quote for a simple ordering app is often that overhead dressed up as a project. Remove it and hire one senior person who works remotely and writes the code. The price falls hard, but the quality does not. The real engineering was never the expensive part. That gap is where honest, cheap mobile app development in Gulshan lives.
But cheap only stays real if the scope is honest. This is the second trap. You keep a Gulshan app low cost by cutting the right things, not by cutting quality. Do you need native iOS and Android on day one? Or will a Progressive Web App that installs from Chrome serve your customers? Most of them use mid-range Androids anyway. Do you need three user roles, or one? One payment gateway, or all of them?
A 50,000 BDT app and a 1,50,000 BDT app can have the same number of screens. The price gap hides in those choices, not in the design. A cheap but dishonest developer says yes to everything and takes the advance. Then he quietly fails to finish. I would rather scope it down to what you need now and ship that properly. You add the rest in phase two, once real revenue can pay for it. Cheap that ships beats expensive that stalls, every time.

These are the questions Gulshan business owners ask me first when they look for a cheap app developer.
My lowest price is 50,000 BDT for a focused app on one platform. Think of a menu or catalogue with an order and contact flow. 90,000 BDT adds user accounts, bKash or Nagad checkout, push alerts and an admin panel. 1,50,000 BDT adds order management, user roles, and Android and iOS from one codebase. Custom builds with live tracking or marketplace logic start at 3,00,000 BDT. You pay 50% up front and 50% on launch. A 25,000 taka "Play Store app" is often a broken WebView.
You are hiring one senior developer instead of a whole company. An agency pays a sales lead, an account manager, a project manager and two juniors. It also pays rent on Gulshan Avenue. All of that gets paid before anyone touches your app. I work remotely and write the code myself. So there is no overhead and no junior cost hidden in the number. The build quality is similar. The price gap is mostly the Gulshan office you no longer pay for.
Cheap freelancer apps die at 80% because nobody takes on the hard final stretch. That means payments, login, push alerts and Play Store review, so the work just stops. With me there is also nobody to hand it to, but the opposite happens. I finish it, because my name is on it and my next client hears how it went. The work starts once your advance clears and you approve the design in writing. I stay on the project until it is live and not rejected.
Payment setup depends on the tier and your scope, not on how cheap the project is. The 50,000 BDT tier is a focused build that may use a simpler order and contact flow. bKash or Nagad checkout comes with the 90,000 BDT tier and up. Each gateway needs its own merchant account and KYC with your trade licence and TIN. It also needs sandbox testing. That is real engineering time, not a free tickbox. On the first call I will tell you which gateways your scope and budget cover.
It is all remote, and that works well for businesses in Gulshan, Banani and Baridhara. We start with a kickoff call on Google Meet or WhatsApp. Then the work runs on WhatsApp, email and a Figma link you can tap through. Reviews and sign-off happen on Google Meet or WhatsApp too. This is faster for both of us and helps keep the price low. You are never passed to an account manager. Every message about your app comes from me, the person building it.
Often the cheapest honest answer is not a native app. Many Gulshan businesses do fine with a Progressive Web App. It installs from the home screen, works offline on weak data and takes mobile money. It costs a fraction of a native build, and most of your customers use mid-range Androids. If that fits, I will tell you. If you need full native, like background GPS for a fleet, I will say so on day one. I will refer you to a Dhaka studio that does native daily.
