What we build for Montreal businesses
Montreal concentrates a significant share of Quebec's technology SMBs, retailers and service organisations, and each of those sectors has distinct app needs. At Bollé Communications, we develop native and hybrid mobile apps designed around those realities: a loyalty app for a Plateau-Mont-Royal retailer, an employee portal for a manufacturer in the East End, a booking app for a downtown professional service, or an internal tool for a team spread across several Greater Montreal locations.
In practice, we take on the full cycle: feature scoping, technical architecture, interface design, iOS and Android development, integration with your existing systems (point of sale, CRM, payment system, database) and publication on the App Store and Google Play. We also deliver the administrative dashboard that lets you manage content, users and notifications without depending on us day to day.
Why choose a development agency in Montreal
A mobile app is not a one-off deliverable: it is a product that evolves with your users and with OS releases. Proximity changes a great deal. From our office at 410 rue Saint-Nicolas in Old Montreal, we can meet your team on site, observe your real users, and iterate quickly rather than through email exchanges with a team in another time zone.
Working with a Montreal agency also means communication in French, billing in Canadian dollars, and an understanding of the local market: payment habits here, the requirements of Law 25 on the protection of personal information, and the bilingual expectations of a Greater Montreal clientele. For eligible organisations, we also document deliverables in a way compatible with the digital transformation support programmes in force in Quebec.
Our approach and process
We always start with a scoping workshop: who the app serves, what problem it solves, and which features genuinely deserve to be in the first version. That step avoids the costly trap of building everything at once. We then produce clickable mockups you can test before a single line of code is written.
Development proceeds in short cycles, with regular installable builds on your own devices. You watch the app take shape and adjust along the way. Before launch, we test across a range of recent iOS and Android devices, validate performance and accessibility, then handle submission to the stores. After go-live, we offer a maintenance agreement for OS updates, fixes and new features.
Complementary services under one roof
An app rarely performs on its own. It needs a solid web entry point, a coherent identity and visibility. Our teams work together: our website design group ensures continuity between your site and your app, branding guarantees a uniform identity across every screen, and our web marketing team prepares user acquisition through SEO and campaigns. Social media management then supports the launch and engagement over time.

Frequently asked questions
How much does mobile app development cost in Montreal?
In Quebec, a custom native app generally starts from $25,000 (indicative range) and rises with features, integrations and the number of platforms. We produce a precise estimate after the scoping workshop.
Do you develop for both iOS and Android?
Yes. Depending on your budget and your audience, we recommend either native (separate iOS and Android) or a cross-platform approach that shares the code. We explain the trade-offs before choosing.
Can we meet you in person in Montreal?
Yes. Our office is at 410 rue Saint-Nicolas in Old Montreal, and we are glad to meet Greater Montreal clients there or at their own premises.
Will the app comply with Law 25 on data protection?
Yes. We design the collection and storage of personal information around the requirements of Law 25, with clear consent and minimisation of the data collected.
Do you offer maintenance after launch?
Yes. We offer follow-up for iOS and Android updates, security fixes and new features, so your app stays stable over time.
