React Native app development in Kenya
Mobile-first, low-bandwidth products with mobile money built in, from a senior team on overlapping hours.
Clarigo Infotech builds React Native apps that run on iOS and Android from one codebase, saving time and cost without giving up a native feel. We design, build, test and launch on the App Store and Google Play, and the same team keeps improving the app after launch. React Native is a strong fit when you also have a React web app, because code and skills can be shared.
Kenyan companies most often hire us for fintech and mobile-money apps, healthcare and AI.

How we approach React Native
When React Native is the right choice
React Native suits most business, social, commerce and productivity apps, especially when you have or plan a React web product. For graphics-heavy games or very hardware-specific apps, we may recommend native code instead and will say so.
Performance that feels native
We use the new architecture, optimised lists and images, and native modules for heavy work, then profile on real devices so scrolling and animations stay smooth.
From build to app store
We handle app store accounts, screenshots, review guidelines, privacy labels, crash reporting and over-the-air updates, so launching and updating is predictable.
Proven on real products
Our team designed and built LivSocial's mobile app alongside its website and AI tool, and Vumi, our own AI companion app with voice calls.
Remote, but close to Kenya
Time-zone overlap
Kenya is two and a half hours behind India, so our working days overlap for most of the day.
Kenya's Data Protection Act 2019
We design to Kenya's Data Protection Act: lawful processing, consent, security controls and data-subject rights, and we sign NDAs before work starts.
Billing
Invoices in Kenyan shillings (KES) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Where we help Kenya businesses most
Kenyan startups and businesses use us for fintech and mobile-money integrations, healthcare software and AI, designed to the Data Protection Act.
Mobile money and fintech
M-Pesa made mobile payments the default for most customers. Apps for customers, staff and partners, built on one codebase.
Agriculture
Tea, coffee and flower exporters adopt agtech and traceability. We design and ship iOS and Android apps for teams in this sector.
Logistics
Mombasa port serves East Africa through tracking platforms. Customer and field apps are where we usually start here.
Tourism
Safari operators sell to international travellers online. Apps for customers, staff and partners, built on one codebase.
