GPS tracking app development · iOS, Android and server
A tracking app your customers open every day, on a platform you own.
I build GPS tracking apps for businesses that sell tracking or depend on it: the phone app, the server behind it and the device support in between. Apps on this stack are live in the App Store, and everything ships under your name.
The parts that cost you money
01
Per-device fees on someone else’s platform
Reselling a tracking platform means paying for every device, every month, on a product you cannot change. As your customer count grows, so does the bill, and so does the cost of ever leaving.
02
Phones are not trackers until you make them one
Android battery savers and iOS background rules stop location updates without telling anyone. A driver app that works on the developer’s phone and goes quiet on a driver’s is the most common way these projects fail.
03
Alerts are the product, and they fail quietly
Overspeed, geofence and low-battery alerts are what your customers pay for. When push is misconfigured they stop for some users only, and you hear about it from the customer who missed one.
04
A tracker the platform cannot read
You have hardware in stock, or a customer who insists on a model, and the server does not decode it. A device that cannot report is a refund waiting to happen.
The system that fixes it
GPS tracking app development for iOS and Android
One Flutter codebase for both stores: live map, route history playback, geofences, trip and stop reports, push alerts and remote device commands, published on your developer accounts.
Hardware trackers or phones, decided first
Wired trackers report whatever the driver does; phones cost nothing to deploy but need careful background handling. Which one fits your customers is the first decision, and it changes the whole build.
A server you own, not a seat you rent
Traccar on your own instance, set up to run as a business: PostgreSQL, TLS, tested backups and monitoring. No per-device fee to anyone, and your data stays where you put it.
Device and protocol support
Traccar already decodes a very wide range of trackers. For one it does not, custom protocol code so the hardware you have can report to the server you run.
What this page is not claiming
The apps below are live and you can open them; they were published under clients’ developer accounts, so they will not appear under mine. Server and protocol work runs on clients’ infrastructure and has no public link, so ask on the call and I will walk through how it was done. Animmza is independent and not affiliated with the Traccar project.

How much does GPS tracking app development cost?
A focused tracking app is $3,500 – $7,500. A full platform with server, admin and customer apps starts at $9,000. Server setup and support for a new device are quoted after I have seen the device or the instance. You get a fixed price before anything starts.
Hardware trackers or phone tracking: which should I build?
If you track vehicles you or your customers own, hardware: it reports whether or not anyone opens an app. If you track people doing jobs, phones can work, but only with background location handled properly on both platforms. I will tell you which on the first call and why.
Will the app be on my App Store and Google Play accounts?
Yes. It is published under your developer accounts from the first release, so the app, its reviews and its users stay yours whoever maintains it later.
Can it work with the GPS trackers I already have?
Usually. Send me the device model and its protocol documentation if you have it, and I will confirm before anything is quoted.
Where are you based?
Okara, Punjab, Pakistan. I overlap 8am – 12pm US Eastern every working day and usually reply within ~2 hours, so you are not waiting overnight for an answer.
Twenty minutes, your morning, no pitch deck.
I work 8am – 12pm US Eastern and replies typically land within ~2 hours. Bring the problem, not a spec — the first call is scoping, and it is free.
