How we help
End-to-End Entertainment App Development Services
One team from first idea to opening night and every release after it. Hover over — or tap — a service to see what's included.
We pin down your audience, content model and revenue plan, then turn them into a launch scope you can afford and a roadmap you can grow into.
iOS, Android, web and smart TV apps that share one design language and one back end — so updates ship everywhere at once.
Encoding pipelines, adaptive streaming, CDNs and DRM tuned for fast start times and minimal buffering, on-demand or live.
Subscriptions, in-app purchases, ad insertion, pay-per-view, tips and creator payouts — set up properly across app stores and the web.
Connect analytics, ad servers, CRMs and rights systems — or move an ageing platform onto a modern, scalable architecture without losing your library.
Load testing before premieres, monitoring during big moments and continuous updates afterwards — with support around the clock.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
As a starting guide, a focused MVP — for example a music or podcast app, or a single-platform video app — typically begins around $5K–$10K. A multi-platform streaming or creator app with payments and an admin panel is usually $10K–$30K, and large platforms with live streaming, smart TV apps, DRM and AI start from $30K. A free discovery call gives you a firm estimate.
An MVP usually takes 4–6 weeks, a full multi-platform app 8–12 weeks, and larger streaming ecosystems 2–6 months. We often launch on mobile and web first, then add TV apps.
Yes. Alongside iOS, Android and web, we build for Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV, Roku, Samsung and LG TVs, plus Chromecast and AirPlay casting — all connected to the same back end and accounts.
Yes. We use CDNs, auto-scaling cloud infrastructure and load testing that simulates your biggest moments, and we monitor live during launches and events.
We combine industry DRM (Widevine, FairPlay, PlayReady), encrypted streams, signed URLs, device limits and optional forensic watermarking, with workflows for handling takedown requests.
We can build a platform with similar capabilities — streaming, playlists, short-video feeds and more — designed around your own brand, content and audience rather than a copy of someone else's product.
Yes. You receive the complete source code, documentation and DevOps setup, and all audience data stays yours. We're happy to sign an NDA before you share any details.
