Frequently Asked Questions
It's the process of building a custom photo and video sharing platform designed entirely around your own brand. Features like reels, stories, direct messaging, an explore feed, and in-app shopping aren't pulled from some generic template — they're built specifically to fit how your business actually works.
Cost depends on the feature set, which platforms you're targeting, and the size of the team involved. As a general reference:
Basic Build: $5,000–$12,000+
Mid-Level Build: $12,000–$20,000+
Enterprise Build: $20,000–$50,000+
The exact number depends on your specific scope, so it's best to share your requirements and we'll put together a tailored estimate.
A focused MVP with the core features usually takes 12 to 16 weeks to put together. If you're adding more advanced functionality — reels, live streaming, AI-powered filters, payment integrations — the timeline stretches out to roughly 20 to 28 weeks, depending on exactly how much is in scope.
