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, a freelance app developer for BD founders. For five years, I have worked as a solo senior who designs, builds and ships products for Bangladeshi clients. 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 open about the partner devs I bring in. You never pay 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. There is a Fiverr profile with five-star reviews and a quote that sounds too good. Then comes a Telegram group chat with three new people you have never met. Six months later, you have a half-built APK that crashes on Redmi phones.
The reason is simple. The freelancer you hired was really a project manager passing the work to juniors. 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 talk to the person who will sit in Figma at 11pm tightening the onboarding flow. No account manager forwards your message. No junior is "learning by doing" on your project. If I cannot do something well, I tell you on the first call, not after taking the advance.
My core craft is the web side of app products. I build progressive web apps that install from a Save to Home Screen prompt. I build admin dashboards so the founder can manage users and content. I also build app store companion landing pages that get TestFlight signups, and marketing sites for an MVP launch.
I also handle the WordPress or Next.js side of a product where the mobile app is just one surface. About 70 percent of BD founders who ask me for "an app" really need a PWA first to test the idea. I will say so on the discovery call.
Some projects truly need native iOS or Android. For those, I bring in two senior partner developers I have worked with for years. You see their portfolios, you talk to them directly, and you know exactly who builds what. I stay on as product lead and the person responsible for the result. I do not hide behind a logo or pretend I have a team I do not have.
Here are six concrete reasons. You can check every one of them in a 30-minute call before you send a single taka.
The first call ends with one of three answers: a 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 to 6 lakh on the first version.
I ship installable PWAs that work offline and send push notifications on Android. They also skip the Google Play 30 percent cut. For a BD startup with no revenue yet, that is the sensible first version.
Every app product I deliver comes with a web admin. You manage users, orders, content and payments there. There is no "phase 2" surprise where the dashboard costs another 80,000 BDT.
I connect bKash Tokenized Checkout and Nagad Merchant API directly. There is no third-party plugin that breaks every six months. Your customers pay with the wallet they already use.
Maybe you already have a native app and just need a marketing site that drives App Store and Play Store installs. I build landing pages built to convert, with proper deep-link Smart Banners for iOS and Android.
You message me, and I reply. No ticket numbers, no "the developer is on leave", and no being passed between three sales people. The person who quotes you is the person who builds.
People in BD use the word "app" loosely. One founder says "I want an app like Daraz". On day one, what they really need is a mobile-friendly web store with bKash checkout. Another founder says "just make me a website". What they really need is a hybrid app with an offline catalog, because their salespeople work in upazilas with patchy 3G. A freelance app developer worth hiring first tells you which one you are, in plain Bangla or English, before quoting.
Here is the line I draw. I personally build PWAs (React plus service worker) and Next.js web apps with login and Stripe, bKash or Nagad payments. I build custom WordPress and WooCommerce products with mobile-first UX. I also build admin dashboards, API integrations, app marketing sites and the whole web layer of a mobile product.
I do not personally build native Swift or Kotlin apps. I also skip Flutter apps that need deep native modules, and anything needing AR or 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 for that path starts at 3,00,000 BDT. Pretending otherwise would cost you money and time. I would rather lose the deal than mis-sell.

These are the questions BD founders actually ask me in their 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 costs 90,000 to 1,50,000 BDT. True native iOS and Android with my partner devs starts at 3,00,000 BDT. Payment is 50 percent advance and 50 percent at launch. No monthly retainers are hidden in the quote.
About 70 percent of the founders who message me would do better with a PWA for version one. PWAs install from the browser, work offline and send push on Android. They skip the 30 percent store cut, and you ship updates instantly without app store review. Go native if you need Apple Pay, deep iOS background features or Bluetooth and NFC hardware. Go native too if you have proven product-market fit and store rankings matter. We decide this honestly on the first call.
Yes. This is core to almost every BD product I build. For web and PWA, I connect bKash Tokenized Checkout and Nagad Merchant API directly. That includes proper IPN handling, refund flows and payment matching in your admin. For native apps, my partner devs use the same merchant accounts through the official SDKs. You own the merchant accounts, not me. That is non-negotiable for your safety.
An agency quotes you 5 to 15 lakh and assigns juniors. The senior you met in the sales meeting disappears after the contract is signed. I quote you 50,000 to 3,00,000 BDT, depending on scope. The person you spoke with is the person in the code editor that night. The trade-off: I take on only 2 to 3 active builds at a time. So I sometimes have a waitlist of 2 to 4 weeks.
This is one of my favourite project types. I build app marketing sites and landing pages that drive store installs. They get proper App Store and Play Store badges and Smart App Banners for iOS. They get Android intent links, so users who already have the app open it directly. I add deep-link routing and screenshots tuned for the BD market. Pricing is usually 50,000 to 90,000 BDT, depending on pages and translation needs.
Yes. I sign NDAs before the discovery call if you ask, and most founders do. I have worked solo with Bangladeshi clients for about 5 years, and my reputation is what keeps clients coming. Leaking or copying ideas would end my business overnight, so my interest matches yours. At launch, I move all code, repositories and design files to your account. You own everything, including the GitHub repo.
