Mobile app development in Sylhet only counts if the app works on a Walton phone and survives a bKash redirect. It must suit a customer who decides everything with his thumb.
I am RH Fardin, a senior solo developer. I design, build and ship mobile apps for Sylhet businesses end to end, with no hand-off to a junior who vanishes with your advance. Restaurant group run from Bradford, Hajj agency or Bandar Bazar shop: tell me how your customer buys, and I build the Android (and iOS) app that fits. Mobile app development in Sylhet starts at 50,000 BDT. bKash and Nagad work properly. You approve the full design before I code. You pay 50% up front and 50% on launch.

Most Sylhet owners who message me about an app are not chasing a trend. They have seen a real shift. Their customer no longer walks into Zindabazar or Bandar Bazar. He scrolls a Facebook reel on a 12,000-taka Android phone. He messages on WhatsApp and pays with bKash without getting up. Honest mobile app development in Sylhet starts with that fact: your buyer lives inside his phone.
A website helps. But in this market, the thing that sits on the customer's home screen is an app. It sends him a push when his Hajj instalment is due or his food is on the way. It lets him reorder in two taps. Your app is fighting Facebook for that one thumb, and it has to win.
Here is what makes a Sylhet app brief different. The money behind these businesses comes from the diaspora, and so does much of the audience. Think of a restaurant chain owned from East London that wants UK relatives to order food for family back home. Or a travel agency selling UK-route and Hajj packages, where the payer is in Birmingham and the traveller is in Sylhet. Or a flat developer whose NRB buyer checks his booking from New York.
So the app has two jobs at once. It must serve the local customer on a cheap Android over patchy 4G. It must also reassure the owner or payer abroad, who watches everything from an iPhone six time zones away. That is why I start Android-first, since 95% of your local users are on Android. Then I add a clean iOS build for the diaspora side. I do not pretend every Sylhet user carries the same flagship phone.
When you hire me, there is no chain for your idea to get lost in. That matters twice as much when half the people on the call are in another country. I run the scoping call and the user flow. I design every screen in Figma and write the app code. I set up bKash and Nagad, SMS and push alerts, and the Play Store and App Store listings. I am also the person who answers on WhatsApp when a customer says checkout froze.
You get one senior operator with about five years of building apps and web systems for Bangladeshi businesses. It is one thread from first message to live listing. In a Dhaka or Sylhet app shop, the senior who pitched you moves on to the next sale. A junior opens your project. Your brief passes through a salesman and a project manager. By the end, the owner abroad who pays for it is the furthest from the truth of his own build.
Let me be honest about where I fit. For mobile app development in Sylhet bd, that word should mean something clear. I build well-scoped Android and cross-platform apps for real Sylhet businesses. That means food ordering and delivery for restaurant groups, and booking and instalment apps for travel and Hajj agencies. It means store and catalogue apps for retailers who live on Facebook, and appointment apps for clinics. It also means customer apps tied to an admin panel the owner abroad can open.
Pricing is in BDT and fixed after one call. A simple one-platform app starts at 50,000 BDT. A standard Android-plus-iOS app with bKash and an admin panel is around 90,000. A production app with delivery flow, live tracking or multi-vendor is 1,50,000. Complex custom builds like logistics, fintech-style apps or large marketplaces start from 3,00,000 BDT. It is always 50% advance and 50% on launch, with design approved before code. Need a 200-screen super-app with a 10-person team? I will tell you to hire a larger shop.
Here are six things a serious Sylhet business gets from me that most local app shops skip. Awards and follower counts do not run on a Vivo Y20.
I test on 2-3GB RAM Walton and Symphony phones over patchy 4G in Sylhet, not just on a flagship over fibre. Your customer in Beanibazar opens the app without lag, and it does not eat his data.
I set up live bKash Tokenized Checkout, Nagad and SSLCommerz with proper IPN handling and refund flows. It is not a sandbox demo that breaks on the first real taka. The payment survives the redirect every time.
The customer app pairs with an admin panel the owner in the UK opens on his phone. He sees orders, bookings and daily takings, and he can push offers to customers. He watches the Sylhet business live instead of hearing the numbers a month late.
I set up push alerts for order status, abandoned carts, Hajj instalments due and festival offers, with SMS as a backup. It is the cheapest way to bring customers back. Most Sylhet apps launch without it and regret it.
You approve every screen in Figma before I write app code. Maybe the checkout or booking flow does not match how your customers and counter staff really work. Then we fix it on paper, not in a paid rebuild after launch.
I handle Play Console setup, the privacy policy, screenshots in the right sizes and the Apple review. On launch you get the source code and the signing keystore in writing. You are never locked to me, even with the owner abroad.
Flashy app companies forget one local habit. In Sylhet and across BD, your app spreads as an APK on Facebook and WhatsApp long before anyone searches the Play Store. The owner's brother in Bradford posts the link in a family group. A cousin shares it on a Sylhet buy-sell page. A hundred people install the file on Symphony phones. If the app is bloated, forces a sign-up first, or dies on 3G in Sobhanighat, that first wave is wasted for good.
So I build the first screen to load fast and show something useful, with no login wall. I ship a clean signed APK you can share the day before the store listing goes live. I keep the install size small, so nobody on a budget phone thinks twice. The Play Store and App Store listings still get done properly. But the real launch in Sylhet happens in a Facebook group, and the app must be ready for that crowd first.
The second thing I will not ignore: in Sylhet, the price quote bends the moment a firm smells UK money. Look at the 'IT solutions' signboards on Zindabazar. You see a salesperson, a junior who learned Flutter on YouTube, and a number that doubles when the brother paying is in London and cannot drop in. For an app paid for unseen from abroad, the risk is sharp. You get an inflated quote, an app stuck at 70% for nine months, and a developer who goes quiet after the advance clears.
I work the other way. I quote the same BDT number for a tea stall in Ambarkhana or a restaurant chain in East London. I time the scoping call so the owner abroad is on it. The price is fixed after that call: 50,000 BDT floor, 90,000 and 1,50,000 tiers, custom from 3,00,000, always 50% advance and 50% on launch. The best mobile app development in Sylhet is the app customers still open a year later. It comes from one senior person who priced you fairly.

Here are straight answers to what Sylhet owners ask me in the first WhatsApp message about an app. Often the family abroad is listening in.
I price in plain BDT after one call. UK money behind you never grows the number. A simple one-platform app, like a catalogue or basic order app, starts at 50,000 BDT. A standard Android-plus-iOS app with bKash/Nagad and an admin panel is around 90,000 BDT. A production app with delivery flow, live tracking or multi-vendor is 1,50,000 BDT. Complex custom builds start from 3,00,000 BDT. It is always 50% advance and 50% on launch, by bKash, Nagad or bank. The exact price depends on platforms, integrations and the owner's dashboard.
For almost every Sylhet business, I start Android-first. About 95% of your local customers use Android phones like Walton, Symphony, Vivo or low-cost Samsung. I build cross-platform with Flutter or React Native, so a clean iOS build later is cheap. That iOS build mainly serves your diaspora side: UK or US relatives who pay, order or check bookings on an iPhone. If your audience is mostly local, launch on Android, prove demand, then add iOS once revenue justifies it. I will not sell you the pricier option on day one.
Yes, and for most Sylhet apps that is the whole point. The customer app pairs with an admin panel the owner abroad opens on his phone. He sees live orders, bookings, daily takings and stock. He can send a push or offer to customers himself, instead of hearing the numbers a month late. I run the project on both sides. The manager here handles daily detail. The owner in London or Birmingham handles approvals and budget, on WhatsApp or IMO. No account manager loses messages between Sylhet and the UK.
Yes. I set up live bKash Tokenized Checkout, not just the demo sandbox. I also set up the Nagad merchant API, SSLCommerz, and Stripe for international cards. Stripe matters when a UK relative pays for an order delivered in Sylhet. I handle the OTP flow, IPN webhooks, refunds and transaction matching. Your staff and the owner abroad can match payouts to orders without chasing. Most cheap BD apps fake payments with a sandbox flow that breaks on the first real sale. I build for real money from the start.
A 50,000 BDT one-platform app takes about 3-4 weeks. A 90,000 BDT standard Android-plus-iOS app with bKash and an admin panel takes 5-7 weeks. A 1,50,000 BDT production app with delivery flow, push and Play Store submission takes 8-10 weeks. Apple's review adds 1-2 weeks on the iOS side. I give you a clean signed APK to share on Facebook before the store listing is even approved. You get a written timeline on day one and an update every week. No 'next week, sir' loops.
Yes, 100%, in writing. On launch, I push the full source code to your own GitHub or GitLab. You get the signing keystore in a password-protected file. I move the Play Console and Apple Developer accounts to your name. You also get deployment notes, a short handover document and 30 days of free fixes for real bugs. A local Sylhet developer could take over next year with everything on day one. Nothing depends on my goodwill, which matters when the owner paying is abroad.
