## Mobile app development *proposal template*

App projects carry costs a website never does: two platforms, store review, device testing and the release cycle after launch. This template scopes all of it, so the budget reflects the real shape of the work.

## What the template covers

Every section below is already drafted in the document, with placeholders marking the details you need to fill in.

- **Platforms and devices** — iOS, Android or both, the minimum OS versions supported, and the device classes targeted.
- **Feature scope** — The features included, ideally separated into an initial release and later phases.
- **Technology and architecture** — Native or cross-platform, the stack proposed, and any backend services required.
- **Development phases** — Sprints or phases with deliverables, review points and payment against each.
- **Testing and QA** — Device testing, beta distribution, and how defects are reported and resolved.

## Generate this document from *your CRM*

A template still means someone opens a file and retypes the names, dates and figures for every new proposal. CloudFiles Document Generation produces the finished document from a Salesforce or HubSpot record — the same structure, populated with real data, generated in seconds and filed straight back against the record it came from.

## Frequently asked questions

**Q: Should I quote iOS and Android separately?**
Usually yes, even for a cross-platform build. Platform-specific work, testing and store submission differ enough that a single blended figure hides where the effort actually goes — and clients frequently decide to launch on one platform first.

**Q: Who should own the app store accounts?**
Almost always the client, and the template records this explicitly. An app published under a developer's account becomes very difficult to transfer later, and it is a common source of dispute at the end of an engagement.

**Q: What happens if the app is rejected by app review?**
The store submission section covers who handles resubmission and whether it is included in the fee. Rejections are routine rather than exceptional, so it is worth agreeing in advance rather than treating each one as a surprise.

**Q: Can I edit this template?**
Yes — download the Word (.docx) version and edit it like any other document. Placeholders mark every detail you need to replace. The PDF is there when you just want to read, print or send it as-is.

**Q: Is this template legal advice?**
No. It is a general drafting starting point and has not been reviewed for your jurisdiction or your circumstances. If the proposal will form part of a binding contract once accepted, have the terms reviewed before you send it.

**Q: Do I have to give my email address to download it?**
No. Both download links on this page go straight to the file — there is no form and no sign-up.
