Mobile app or mobile website: what does your business need?
A mobile website reaches everyone with a link. An app earns its place when customers come back often: loyalty points, ordering, bookings, a member account. Here is how to decide, with our prices for both. Our apps start from 1 000 000 ₸.

Rules for both
The law does not split websites and apps: the rules below cover both.
- Consent to data
Personal data is collected and processed with the data subject’s consent, except in the cases the law names (Law No. 94-V, art. 7 para. 1). A website enquiry form and an app sign-up are the same here.[1]
- Storage in Kazakhstan
Personal data is stored in a database or digital object located in Kazakhstan (art. 12 para. 2). That covers the app’s server and the website’s enquiry database alike.[1]
- Access for people with disabilities
The Social Code sets out the right of people with disabilities to access digital objects and information (art. 154 para. 1 subpara. 6). Who is obliged to act on it is covered in our website accessibility guide.[2]

This is not legal advice. Laws change: before launch, check the current version on adilet.zan.kz and talk to a lawyer or accountant.
Short and to the point.
Can I have both?
Many businesses do: the website brings new customers, the app keeps them. Both can run on one back end and one database.
Is a web app that installs (a PWA) a middle way?
For some cases, yes: it installs from the browser and works offline. A place in the app stores and some phone features stay with native apps.
What does an app cost?
A first release for iOS and Android starts from 1 000 000 ₸ at a fixed price. The total depends on screens and integrations.
Can the app connect to 1C and payments?
Yes, through the app’s server: catalogue and stock from 1C or MoySklad, orders back into accounting. Card payments go through a bank’s acquiring, for example Halyk ePay.
How long until launch?
A first release in a few weeks, plus App Store and Google Play review before it goes live. The date goes into the contract.
