Frequently asked questions

How much does travel app development cost?

Travel app development costs typically range from $10,000 to $100,000+ depending on platform scope (iOS, Android, web), feature complexity, AI integrations, and third-party API requirements such as GDS systems, payment gateways, and booking aggregators. Inventco provides a detailed project estimate after an initial discovery consultation.

How long does it take to build a travel app?

A standard travel booking app with core features typically takes 4 to 8 months from discovery to launch. AI-powered or enterprise-grade travel platforms with advanced personalization engines, B2B modules, and complex API integrations may require 10 to 16 months depending on feature scope and integration depth.

Do you build apps for both iOS and Android?

Yes. Inventco develops travel apps for iOS, Android, and web simultaneously, using cross-platform frameworks where appropriate or native development where performance-critical features demand it. All platforms receive equal functional and design parity.

Can you integrate GDS platforms like Amadeus and Sabre?

Absolutely. Our travel app developers have deep experience integrating Amadeus, Sabre, Travelport, and other GDS systems for real-time flight inventory, dynamic pricing, and seat management. We also integrate hotel aggregator APIs, car rental platforms, and ancillary service providers.

Is my travel app idea protected when I share it with Inventco?

Yes. We execute a comprehensive NDA before any project discovery engagement begins. Upon project completion, full intellectual property ownership, including codebase, design assets, and proprietary algorithms, is transferred entirely to you.

Do you provide post-launch support for travel apps?

Yes. Inventco's post-launch support services include performance monitoring, infrastructure scaling, security updates, feature iteration, and technical troubleshooting. We offer structured maintenance plans designed to keep your travel platform stable, competitive, and continuously evolving.

How do you ensure GDPR and PCI-DSS compliance in travel apps?

Our travel app development process incorporates compliance requirements from the architecture stage. We implement PCI-DSS tokenization for payment data, GDPR-aligned consent management and data retention controls, OAuth 2.0 authentication, SSL/TLS encryption, and regular third-party security audits.
