DreamLabs
[Who we are]
One TypeScript codebase, three destinations: the App Store, the Play Store, and the web. We pair senior engineers with AI to take React Native apps from architecture to launch in weeks, not the months a two-platform build normally demands.

“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!”
Jenn Brooks · Founder & CEO @ Nurture
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]
AI runs through every stage of our React Native process: it helps plan the architecture, scaffolds components and screens, joins our senior engineers in code review, and generates test coverage that exercises iOS and Android together. Everything is TypeScript end to end, so types flow from your API layer to the screen and the code AI helps produce is verifiable rather than taken on faith. We build on Expo when it fits, using EAS builds, streamlined store submission, and over-the-air updates that push fixes to users without waiting on app review, and drop to bare React Native when a product needs custom native modules. When your roadmap includes the web, we pair the app with React or Next.js so business logic, API clients, and design tokens are shared instead of rewritten.
We work in short, visible cycles and test on physical iOS and Android hardware from the first sprint, so neither platform waits until the end for attention. Continuous integration and automated testing run from day one, and we lean on React Native's mature ecosystem, with proven libraries for payments, auth, maps, notifications, and analytics, instead of reinventing infrastructure your users will never see. We handle both app store submissions, and after launch, over-the-air updates keep your improvement cycle measured in hours, not review queues.
[Deliverables]
A production-grade app for iOS and Android built from one React Native and TypeScript codebase, with AI accelerating every step and a senior engineer signing off on every line it helps produce. We own the full build: architecture, feature development, native module integration, and submission to both the App Store and the Play Store. One team and one schedule carry you onto both storefronts, and the codebase you keep is one any React developer can pick up and extend.
For products that need a website as well as an app, we pair React Native with React or Next.js so both are built in one language and one ecosystem. Business logic, API clients, validation, and design tokens are written once in TypeScript and shared, which means features land on mobile and web together instead of drifting apart. AI-accelerated development compounds the savings: the repetitive work is generated once, reviewed once, and shipped everywhere your users are.
App-store launch handled end to end on Expo's tooling: EAS builds, TestFlight and Play Console distribution, and submission to both stores with review requirements handled before they become rejections. After launch, over-the-air updates let us push fixes and improvements straight to your users' devices without waiting days on app review, a release cadence separately built native apps can't match. You get launch infrastructure that keeps working for the life of the product, not just launch week.
[FAQs]
Prototypes start at $6,000 and full MVPs at $15,000. A typical React Native build with our team lands around $20,000 all-in and takes about 6 weeks; the traditional route, separate native iOS and Android teams at a conventional agency, runs closer to $200,000 and 6 months. Two things drive the difference: React Native's single TypeScript codebase means the work is done once for both platforms, and our AI-accelerated process compresses the scaffolding, boilerplate, and testing that consume most of a traditional budget.
About 6 weeks for most builds, launching on iOS and Android simultaneously, versus the roughly 6 months a traditionally staffed build typically takes. AI-assisted scaffolding, code generation, and test coverage let a small senior team move quickly, and Expo's tooling removes most of the release friction at the end. You see working screens on real devices in the first sprint, not months in, and typical projects land around $20,000 rather than the roughly $200,000 of a conventional two-platform build.
Yes. React Native is built and maintained by Meta and powers some of the most heavily used consumer apps in the world, and its current architecture renders through real native components, so performance holds up well beyond what cross-platform once implied. Just as important for the life of your product: it's among the most widely adopted mobile frameworks, with one of the deepest hiring pools in software, so the codebase we hand you can be maintained by almost any React developer rather than a specialist you have to hunt for.
Yes, and it's React Native's most underrated advantage. Because the app is written in TypeScript inside the React ecosystem, business logic, API clients, validation, and design tokens can be shared directly with a React or Next.js website, so features ship to mobile and web together. And if your team already writes React for the web, they can read, review, and eventually own the mobile codebase without learning a new language or framework.
[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.
