A freelance app developer in BD who tells you upfront what is a website, what is a web app, and what actually needs a native build.
I am RH Fardin. For five years I have been a solo senior who designs, builds and ships products from Bangladesh. I take on PWAs, admin dashboards, app landing pages, marketing sites for app launches, and the web-side of mobile products. For native iOS and Android builds, I am honest about the partner devs I bring in so you are never paying a freelancer to learn on your job.
From 50,000 BDT, 50/50 milestones, design-approval guarantee, every pixel built by the person you hire.
+Trusted by 50+ founders, agencies and teams across Bangladesh and beyond.
Trusted by teams I've built websites for
Most clients who type "freelance app developer bd" into Google have already been burned once. The pattern repeats: a Fiverr profile with five-star reviews, a quote that sounds too good, a Telegram group chat with three new people you have never met, and six months later a half-built APK that crashes on Redmi devices. The reason is simple. The freelancer you hired was actually a project manager subcontracting to juniors, and nobody on the team was senior enough to make the hard calls.
I work differently because I am one person. When you message me on WhatsApp, you are talking to the person who will sit in Figma at 11pm tightening the onboarding flow. There is no account manager forwarding your message. There is no junior "learning by doing" on your project. If I cannot do something well, I tell you in the first call rather than after taking the advance.
My core craft is the web side of app products. That means progressive web apps that install from a Save to Home Screen prompt, admin dashboards for the founder to manage users and content, app store companion landing pages that get TestFlight signups, marketing sites for an MVP launch, and the WordPress or Next.js side of a product where the mobile app is just one surface. About 70 percent of BD founders who come to me asking for "an app" actually need a PWA first to validate, and I will say so in the discovery call.
For projects that genuinely need native iOS or Android, I bring in two senior partner developers I have worked with for years. You see their portfolios, you talk to them directly, you know exactly who is building what. I stay on as the product lead and the person responsible for the result. No hiding behind a logo, no pretending I have a team I do not have.
Six concrete reasons, all of which you can verify in a 30-minute call before you transfer a single taka.
First call ends with one of three answers: PWA is enough, you need a hybrid, or you need native. I will not upsell native to bill more — the web-first path saves most BD founders 4-6 lakh on the first version.
I ship installable PWAs that work offline, send push notifications on Android, and skip the Google Play 30 percent cut. For a BD startup pre-revenue, that is the sane v1.
Every app product I deliver comes with a web admin where you manage users, orders, content and payments. No "phase 2" surprise where the dashboard costs another 80,000 BDT.
I integrate bKash Tokenized Checkout and Nagad Merchant API directly — no third-party plugin that breaks every six months. Your customers pay in the wallet they already use.
If you already have a native app and just need a marketing site that drives App Store and Play Store installs, I build conversion-focused landing pages with proper deep-link Smart Banners for iOS and Android.
You message me, I reply. No ticket numbers, no "the developer is on leave", no being passed between three sales people. The same person who quotes is the person building.
The word "app" gets thrown around loosely in BD. A founder will say "I want an app like Daraz" and what they actually need on day one is a mobile-optimized web store with bKash checkout. Another founder will say "just make me a website" when what they actually need is a hybrid app with offline catalog because their salespeople work in upazilas with patchy 3G. The first job of a freelance app developer worth hiring is to tell you which one you are, in plain Bangla or English, before quoting.
Here is the line I draw. I personally build: PWAs (React + service worker), Next.js web apps with authentication and Stripe/bKash/Nagad, custom WordPress and WooCommerce products with mobile-first UX, admin dashboards, API integrations, app marketing sites, and the entire web layer of a mobile product. I do not personally build: native Swift/Kotlin apps, Flutter apps requiring deep native modules, or anything needing AR/heavy on-device ML. For those, I partner with two senior native devs in Dhaka and Chattogram I have known for years, you meet them, and pricing starts at 3,00,000 BDT for that path. Pretending otherwise would cost you money and time, and I would rather lose the deal than mis-sell.

The questions BD founders actually ask me on the first WhatsApp message.
My web-app and PWA work starts at 50,000 BDT for a simple installable PWA with a basic admin. A typical small-business PWA with bKash, user accounts and an admin dashboard lands in the 90,000-1,50,000 BDT range. True native iOS+Android with my partner devs starts at 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50 percent advance, 50 percent at launch — no monthly retainers hidden in the quote.
About 70 percent of the founders who message me would be better served by a PWA for v1. PWAs install from the browser, work offline, send push on Android, do not pay the 30 percent store cut, and you ship updates instantly without app store review. Reasons to actually go native: you need Apple Pay, deep iOS background features, Bluetooth/NFC hardware, or you have proven product-market fit and the store rankings matter. We will decide this in the first call, honestly.
Yes — this is core to almost every BD product I build. For web and PWA I integrate bKash Tokenized Checkout and Nagad Merchant API directly with proper IPN handling, refund flows, and reconciliation in your admin. For native apps my partner devs use the same merchant accounts via the official SDKs. You own the merchant accounts, not me — that is non-negotiable for your safety.
An agency quotes you 5-15 lakh, assigns juniors, and the senior you met in the sales meeting disappears after the contract is signed. I quote you 50,000-3,00,000 BDT depending on scope, and the person you spoke with is the person sitting in the code editor that night. Trade-off: I do not take on more than 2-3 active builds at a time, so I sometimes have a waitlist of 2-4 weeks.
This is one of my favourite project types. I build app marketing sites and landing pages that drive store installs — proper App Store and Play Store badges, Smart App Banners for iOS, intent links for Android so users with the app already open it directly, deep-link routing, and screenshots optimized for the BD market. Pricing typically 50,000-90,000 BDT depending on pages and translation needs.
Yes, I sign NDAs before the discovery call if you ask — most founders do. I have been working solo in Bangladesh for about 5 years and my reputation is the only thing keeping clients coming. Leaking or copying ideas would end my business overnight, so the incentive aligns with yours. Code, repositories and design files are all transferred to your account at launch — you own everything, including the GitHub repo.
