“Other app developer quoted 10X the price to create a live testable version. DreamLabs pricing structure has meant we can quickly get the app in users hands and see what they think!”

As a fractional product team, we start by defining your vision and sharpening your strategy. We don’t just say “yes,” but always ask “why?”, helping your dev budget go further and faster.
We use AI-accelerated development to help teams of all sizes launch custom, scale-ready digital products. Ship in days/weeks, not months/years.
User testing is a bonus service we offer to all clients for free. This means we learn together from real users with each release.
[What We Do]
Our mobile development process, applied here for Hayward clients, pairs AI-assisted architecture, implementation, and testing with direct oversight from senior engineers at every stage, across iOS and Android. That combination shortens the typical build timeline substantially while preserving the code quality and performance a production application needs on either platform. We move quickly from requirements to a working prototype, then iterate with clients in short, visible cycles rather than a long, opaque development phase. Continuous integration and automated testing run throughout, so speed doesn't come at the cost of reliability, and we help you decide early whether a shared cross-platform codebase or separate native builds fits your product best. Whether you're building a first product for a Hayward-based business or extending an established one, including for the city's manufacturing and logistics employers, we build mobile applications engineered to hold up under real usage, with a process designed to get you to market faster than the traditional development model allows.
[Deliverables]
Cross-platform mobile applications for Hayward businesses, built by senior engineers using AI-accelerated development from a single, efficient codebase. We handle the full build lifecycle, from architecture and implementation through app store launch and ongoing support, on iOS and Android at once. Post-launch, we stay available for bug fixes and small iterations, since the first release is rarely the last thing your users need.
Native iOS and Android development for Hayward companies that need reliable integration with existing systems and infrastructure on either platform. AI-enabled development speeds up delivery while our engineers maintain full control over security, performance, and scalability. Rate limits, error handling, and retry logic get built in from the start, since a fragile integration usually fails at the worst possible moment.
UI/UX design for mobile applications built around how Hayward's broad customer base actually behaves, not guesswork. AI-assisted prototyping means working screens land in front of you early, so design decisions get made with real feedback instead of assumptions. We test the design with a handful of real users before it's locked in, catching confusing flows while they're still cheap to fix.
[FAQs]
AI-enabled development means faster delivery and lower cost without sacrificing quality. Clients typically see production-ready iOS and Android apps for around $20,000 in about 6 weeks, compared to roughly $200,000 and 6 months at agencies relying on a fully manual, platform-by-platform development process. We provide a clear, itemized quote before any work begins, so there are no surprises once the build is underway.
Our published tiers anchor the range: prototypes start at $6,000 and full MVPs at $15,000. Pricing depends on complexity, but our AI-enabled process typically brings a custom cross-platform build to around $20,000 all-in, well below the roughly $200,000 an agency using purely manual development might charge for comparable scope across iOS and Android, with delivery in about 6 weeks instead of 6 months.
Look past turnaround time alone and ask how a company actually achieves it. We combine AI-assisted development with senior engineering oversight across both iOS and Android, so you get the speed of an accelerated process with the quality and accountability of experienced developers reviewing every decision.
We start with discovery to lock down requirements and platform strategy, move into AI-assisted architecture and prototyping, then build in short, iterative cycles with your feedback incorporated throughout. Most projects land around 6 weeks and $20,000, with senior engineers reviewing everything before it ships to either app store.
[01] Product Strategy
We start by helping you define your long and short-term product visions. We then break down the concepts into concrete features and functions, so we can piece them back together into a prioritized roadmap.
[02] Development
With the framework pinned down, we go heads-down on execution. We leverage AI-powered tooling and a modern Flutter + Firebase stack to develop your product in record time.
[03] Polishing + Launch QA
Your finished product to ensure that each feature works seamlessly, every color is precise and all copy is ready for publication. We then manage the entire app publishing process on mobile, web or both.
