Metabay Studio

Ship with product growth in mind

Web and mobile apps, by founders who built, scaled and sold products themselves.

Building for the sake of it
Building for growth

We do not build for the sake of building. We build what makes the business grow.

The build, and the founder advice

We launched and sold our own products, so the product calls come with the code.

01

User flow first

We have designed flows for 45 products, so we know where users drop and build around it.

02

In market in weeks

Real users teach you more in two weeks than another month of planning.

03

Built to grow

SEO, analytics and the paths that bring new users are built in from the start, not patched on later.

What we build

Five kinds of build, and how we approach each one.

Web apps and SaaS

A product your customers log into, or a tool your own team works in every day.

We focus on the features that carry the business, and keep the rest open for what comes next.

Admin dashboards

The back office view: what is happening, who did what, and what needs attention.

Built around the decisions your team makes daily, and easy to extend as reporting needs grow.

Mobile apps

iOS and Android from one codebase, offline first, on the stores or in house.

One codebase for both stores, so every release ships to all your users at once.

Integrations

Your CRM, ERP and accounting talking to each other.

Built to survive your tools changing, so adding the next system is not a rebuild.

AI features

Agents, search and drafting inside the product itself.

Added where they save real time, with a person in control and room to scale up.

I found the whole process very efficient, informative and simple. Most days i chatted with the team which was really helpful to feel aligned. Very direct and efficient and give good ideas snd feedback.
Simon LallozGoogle review
I've worked with this team on several personal projects, and the main reason I keep coming back is simple: they deliver. Everything is built in-house, which makes collaboration straightforward and execution fast. What I appreciated most is that projects weren't handed over as rough concepts, but as market-ready products I could actually use and build on. The four-week delivery timeline sounds ambitious, but in my experience it held up. Communication was clear, decisions were practical, and there was no unnecessary back-and-forth. If you want people who can turn ideas into real digital ventures without overcomplicating things, this team does exactly that.

Frequently asked questions

How much does custom software development cost in Singapore?

It depends on scope, so we give you a range on the first call rather than a number on a page. What moves it most is how much already exists and how many systems it has to touch.

How long does it take to build a web app?

Most of what we build is in production between eight and sixteen weeks, with something usable in front of your team well before that.

Do you do mobile app development as well as web?

Yes, iOS and Android from one codebase. We pick native or cross platform based on what the product needs, not on what we prefer to write.

Who owns the code?

You do, from the first commit, in your own repositories and your own cloud accounts.

Can you work with our existing engineers?

That is usually the best version of this. We work inside your team and your tools rather than running a separate project alongside you.
