Mobile App Development From Empiric Infotech LLP
Empiric Infotech LLP is an app development company for product teams in the UK, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, the Nordics and across Europe, working as a dedicated engagement rather than a fixed-price project. You get an experienced remote developer, or a small dedicated team, who builds your iPhone and Android app in Flutter or FlutterFlow, runs the backend, takes care of store review and stays on the app after launch. The working day lines up well: 5 to 7 hours (UK 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM BST, Central Europe 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM CEST), so design reviews, pairing and same-day fixes happen live. European apps come with their own rulebook. Tracking and advertising SDKs need consent before they read anything from the phone. Apps that children are likely to use in the UK must follow the ICO's Children's Code. Since June 2025 the European Accessibility Act has covered apps for shopping, banking, e-books and passenger transport, and in the EU the Digital Markets Act opens iPhone distribution beyond the App Store. We build for all of it, sign a DPA with Standard Contractual Clauses (plus the UK Addendum for UK data) and keep data in the EU or UK region you choose. Our European apps include Vedu, a German-learning app rated 5.0/5 on both stores, and MarketPlace Monitor for a UK client.
What our app development company delivers for UK and European teams
A developer who stays with your app long after launch, building the parts European users, regulators and app stores look at first.
Consent and GDPR inside the app
A consent screen that genuinely controls the tracking and advertising SDKs, as the ePrivacy rules in the EU and PECR in the UK expect, plus in-app access, export and deletion requests, data minimisation and retention rules written as code. Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt and privacy label sit on top and say the same thing as your consent screen.
Apps that meet the UK Children's Code
If children are likely to use your app in the UK, the ICO's Age Appropriate Design Code covers every user under 18: high-privacy settings by default, geolocation and profiling switched off unless needed, no nudges towards weaker settings, and a data protection impact assessment. Where users can post or message each other, we also build the reporting and blocking tools the Online Safety Act expects.
Accessibility for the European Accessibility Act
Since 28 June 2025, apps that provide e-commerce, banking, e-book or passenger transport services to consumers in the EU have to be accessible, with EN 301 549 (built on WCAG 2.1 AA) as the reference. Screen readers, scalable text, contrast, captions and an accessibility statement are part of the build, not a later audit. Microenterprises that provide services are exempt.
EU distribution under the Digital Markets Act
Most apps stay on the App Store, but for users in the EU the Digital Markets Act lets iPhone apps ship through alternative app marketplaces and use alternative payment providers, under Apple's EU terms. If that suits your model, your developer sets up the extra builds, notarisation and payment flows, and the App Store listing keeps running alongside.
Payments, languages and currencies
Store billing from Apple and Google for digital content, Stripe, Mollie or Adyen with Strong Customer Authentication for physical goods and services, and prices in EUR, GBP and CHF. Translations live outside the code, so adding a language is a content job: Vedu ships in 13 interface languages and MarketPlace Monitor in six.
Data kept in your region
Your Firebase, Supabase or cloud project sits in the EU or UK region you choose, with backups and logs in the same place. Your developer works inside your accounts under a DPA with Standard Contractual Clauses for EU data and the UK Addendum for UK data. For Nutrinova, a Swiss nutrition app, user data is encrypted and stored in Switzerland.

How a UK or European app engagement starts
A developer on your app inside the first week, with the data protection paperwork signed before anyone sees user data.
A call in your working day
Thirty minutes in your morning or early afternoon, UK or Central European time. You walk us through the app, the markets and languages it launches in, and anything with a date attached, such as a store launch or a contract that needs an accessible app.
A plan, a developer and a DPA
Within 24 hours you get a short written plan for the first month and meet one developer who suits the work. The NDA, the IP assignment and a DPA with Standard Contractual Clauses, plus the UK Addendum covering UK data, are signed before work begins.
A 7-day risk-free trial
Your developer starts within 48 hours, joins your standups live and has a build on your phone during the first week. On day 7 you decide whether to carry on, and if it is not a fit you get a full refund.
Monthly, invoiced in EUR
One invoice a month in EUR, paid by SEPA, wire or card, with reverse-charge VAT. Seven days' notice to stop, and another developer or a UI/UX designer whenever the roadmap needs one.
App development pricing for UK and European companies
Monthly or hourly, both invoiced in EUR with reverse-charge VAT, and with either one, a senior team lead checks and tests every build before your users see it. Monthly is for an app with a roadmap: 160 to 172 hours of full-time work, billed upfront. Hourly fits a defined piece of work, such as an accessibility pass on your checkout or a rebuilt consent flow. No setup fee and no recruitment fee.
Hourly plan
- A dedicated developer, exclusive to you while you have hours booked
- Pay as you go - billed by the hour, time tracked, a weekly report
- Best for short, defined work; no monthly commitment

Repository, cloud and store access once the DPA is signed, the app running on your test devices, and a first pull request through review and merged. The trial decision comes on day 7.
- Month 1
The core flow, reviewed live
Account creation, the headline feature and the data model in TestFlight and Google Play internal testing, with design reviews held live in your working day and translations wired in from the start if you launch in more than one language.

The consent screen connected to every SDK, checkout with Strong Customer Authentication, push notifications and deep links, and screen reader and text scaling checks on the main flows.
- Month 3
Store review and a European launch
Privacy details that match the consent setup, submission to both stores, a phased release, and a roadmap for the next quarter planned with your team.
A dedicated developer vs a UK or European app agency, marketplace contractors or a permanent hire
| Empiric Infotech (dedicated developer) | UK or European app agency (fixed bid) | Contractor marketplace | In-house hire | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What you pay for | A flat monthly fee in EUR, or hourly for a defined job | A fixed bid per phase, then change requests | Day rates or hourly, per contractor | Salary, employer National Insurance or social contributions, pension and holiday |
| Data protection | DPA with Standard Contractual Clauses; UK Addendum for UK clients; data stays in your EU or UK region | Per agency terms | A separate agreement with each contractor | Your own policies |
| Accessibility and children's privacy | EN 301 549 and Children's Code checks in every release | Often quoted as extra scope | Depends on the contractor | Depends on who you hire |
| Time to start | 48 hours | Weeks of proposals and contracts | Days to weeks | Months to hire, then a notice period of one to three months |
| Shared working hours | 5 to 7 hours a day | Your hours | Varies | Your hours |
| VAT and invoicing | One monthly invoice in EUR; reverse-charge VAT | A local VAT invoice | One invoice per contractor | Payroll |
| After launch | The same developer ships each iOS and Android update | A separate support contract | Re-hire when something breaks | Your team, if they stay |

Why UK and European teams choose a remote app development company
Building an app for European users means building for a set of rules that keeps growing: GDPR and ePrivacy, the UK Children's Code, the European Accessibility Act, the Digital Markets Act and, for AI features, the AI Act's transparency duties, such as telling people when they are talking to an AI. Each one lands on the same codebase, usually after launch. A fixed-price agency is paid for the first release and then moves its people on, so each new requirement starts with someone reading your code for the first time.
A dedicated developer keeps that knowledge. The person who wired your consent screen updates it when an SDK changes, and the person who built checkout adds the next payment method. With 5 to 7 hours of shared time, your developer joins the standup, pairs with your designers and fixes a production issue the day it is reported, much like a colleague in your own office.
Laughly shows how it works in practice. Two Empiric Infotech developers rebuilt a Swiss client's wellness app in Flutter, added a separate content management system, and the client extended the monthly engagement after launch. Our fitness app development service covers wellness and nutrition apps like Laughly and Nutrinova, and our e-learning app development service covers language and learning apps like Vedu. The code, the store listings and the user data are yours from the first day, and seven days' notice is all it takes to stop.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
It plans, designs, builds and publishes apps for iPhone and Android, runs the backend behind them and keeps them working through every OS and policy change. Empiric Infotech works as an app development company for UK and European teams: a remote developer, or a small team, is assigned to your app alone and works in your own repository, cloud and store accounts, and a senior team lead reviews every release.
Each dedicated developer is a flat monthly fee, invoiced in EUR, covering a full working month of 160 to 172 hours; a defined piece of work can be billed hourly instead. Current rates are in the pricing section above. Because it is a vendor engagement, employer National Insurance or social contributions, pension, holiday cover and notice periods stay off your books.
5 to 7 hours a day (UK 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM BST, Central Europe 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM CEST), one hour less in winter. The project manager is available across your whole working day, so standups, design reviews and release calls all happen live.
Yes. We sign a DPA with Standard Contractual Clauses before work starts and act as your processor. EU data is transferred under the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, and UK data under the UK Addendum. Your developer works inside your own accounts, user data stays in the EU or UK region you choose, and access, export and deletion requests are built into the app.
One invoice a month in EUR, paid by SEPA, wire or card, with reverse-charge VAT. Empiric Infotech LLP invoices from India, so the VAT is accounted for on your side.
Yes. If children are likely to use your app in the UK, we build to the ICO's Age Appropriate Design Code: high-privacy defaults, geolocation and profiling off unless they are essential, explanations children can follow, no nudge techniques, and a data protection impact assessment your team can sign off.
Yes, if it provides e-commerce, banking, e-book or passenger transport services to consumers in the EU and your business is larger than a microenterprise. The Act has applied since 28 June 2025, with EN 301 549 as the reference standard. We build and test to it on real devices: screen readers, scalable text, contrast, captions and an accessibility statement.
Yes. In the first week your developer reads the code, gets the iOS and Android builds running, confirms who controls the store accounts and signing keys, and ships a small reviewed change. The written note that follows covers risky areas, outdated SDKs, and whether the consent screen really controls the SDKs the app loads.
All of it is yours. The NDA and IP assignment are signed first, and from the first day your developer works in your GitHub or GitLab organisation, your cloud and your App Store Connect and Play Console accounts.
Yes. Vedu, a German-learning app for a client in Germany, was built by two developers and is rated 5.0/5 on both stores. MarketPlace Monitor, a subscription app for a UK client, runs on a four-developer team, and Laughly and Nutrinova were built for clients in Switzerland. European engagements typically run 6 to 24 months.
