View caseAn app without the app store
PWA development.
An app your team or your clients install straight from the browser, on iPhone, Android and desktop. One codebase, updates that go live at once, and no waiting on an app store review.
Why a PWA
The app you need, for half the work.
A PWA (progressive web app) is a web application that behaves like an app. You open it in the browser, tap Add to Home Screen, and from then on it sits as an icon on your phone or desktop. It opens full screen, can send push notifications and remembers who is signed in.
For most business apps that is exactly enough: scheduling for your team, a client portal, a booking system or a CRM on the go. You build it once and it works on every device. Separate iOS and Android apps easily cost twice as much, while your users get nothing extra for it.
We build PWAs on the same stack as our custom systems, with row-level security in the database. Every user sees only their own data, even on a shared tablet.

Before you call.
What does PWA development cost?
A PWA for one business process (Smart System) starts from €3,250 excluding VAT, plus Vorteca Core from €40 per month for hosting, monitoring and technical management. With a website alongside it, or several roles and a client side, you move to Connected Solution or Business Portal. After the intake you know what your app costs.
Does a PWA work on the iPhone?
Yes. On the iPhone you install it in Safari with Add to Home Screen. Once it is on the home screen, push notifications work too. On Android and desktop the browser offers an Install button itself.
When do I need a native app after all?
When the app has to do a lot in the background, uses Bluetooth or sensors heavily, or when being found in the App Store is an important way to win new customers. For internal tools, client portals and booking systems that is rarely the case. Read more in the article PWA or native app.
How long does it take to build a PWA?
That depends on the number of screens, roles and integrations. A first version of an app takes two to three months at most agencies; a PWA for one process can be quicker, because you build only one version. After the intake you get a plan with fixed milestones.
Can my PWA become an app store app later?
Yes. The backend and the logic stay usable. A native app can connect to the same database and API later, so you do not pay for that work twice.
Who owns the app?
Once paid in full, you receive the right to use the work delivered specifically for your project. Generic Vorteca components and tooling remain Vorteca's. The exact arrangements are set per project, based on our terms and conditions.
