We take your IP and confidentiality seriously. As a proudly Australian-owned business, we strictly follow Australian consumer protection laws. Before any work begins, we sign a mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with every client to ensure your ideas, content, and product IP remain completely protected. You can trust us to treat your project with the same care and respect as if it were our own.
Absolutely. You’ll own 100% of the source code and all related assets. We’re simply here to help bring your vision to life — we don’t claim ownership over any part of your product. At the end of the project, we’ll hand over all source code, design files, and login credentials so you have full control.
Yes, we are! We’re an Australian-registered business, all our contracts and operations are aligned with Australian laws and standards, so you can feel confident working with a team that understands your local needs.
Yes, all payments are made to Australian bank accounts, including trusted names like ANZ and Commonwealth Bank. Every invoice is issued with our ABN and includes GST where applicable — everything is transparent and above board.
The cost depends on the complexity and features required, the platform (iOS, Android, or both), and the development approach. A basic application may cost $5000-$15,000, while a complex application with advanced features can cost then $50,000+.
Key factors include app complexity, features, design, platform choice, third-party integrations, backend development, security requirements, and developer rates.
You can reduce costs by building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), using cross-platform development tools, leveraging open-source resources, outsourcing to lower-cost regions, and optimizing UI/UX design.
Not necessarily. The cost depends more on design, complexity, and features than the platform. iOS apps may require extra engineering to pass App Store reviews.
Yes, hidden costs can include third-party API fees, ongoing maintenance, server hosting, app store fees, and post-launch updates.
A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is a simplified version of your app with only core features. It helps reduce initial costs, speeds up time-to-market, and allows for user feedback before full-scale development.
Our annual maintenance package is typically priced at 20% to 25% of the total product cost and includes 36 dedicated maintenance hours with a dedicated resource over 12 months. A Sunrise Maintenance Team will oversee your servers, mobile apps, and websites, ensuring everything runs smoothly. All bugs and product issues will be resolved within this budget. Additionally, you'll receive weekly reports detailing server health, app performance metrics, and ongoing maintenance activities — giving you full visibility and peace of mind.
Yes. Outsourcing development work to Australia-based software companies like Sunrise Technologies can reduce costs by up to 60% or more — without compromising on quality. We ensure compliance with both Australian and international best practices.
Post-launch costs may include server hosting, app store fees ($99/year for Apple, $25 one-time for Google Play), security patches, bug fixes, and ongoing marketing.
Monetization models such as subscriptions, in-app purchases, and ads often require additional development, which can increase the overall cost. However, they help recover costs and generate revenue over time.
