You own all IP and source code β full assignment, enforceable NDAs, and a complete source code transfer on every project. That is the commitment US companies hear first from DS Web Solutions, because it is the question most outsourcing conversations leave until too late. We are a senior Canadian app development company based in the Toronto area, operating on Eastern Time with full business-day overlap for every US timezone. Nearshore, not offshore: same timezone, native English, and contracts under a common-law legal system your counsel already understands. The USDβCAD exchange rate puts our fixed-price proposals 25β30% below comparable US agency quotes β not because we cut corners, but because the Canadian dollar trades at a structural discount and we pass that through in every USD proposal. One codebase for iOS and Android: we build in React Native β one TypeScript codebase rendering real native components on both platforms, so you pay for one build instead of two. App Store and Google Play submission is included in every project, under your own developer accounts. We have delivered over 100 software and web projects since 2016. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute discovery call, followed by a fixed-price written proposal in USD β the number you approve is the number on your final invoice. Working software is demonstrated every two weeks over Zoom, and you have day-to-day access to your team on Slack or whatever channel you already use. The build itself follows the same practice as our custom software development work: mobile apps, Progressive Web Apps when a store listing is not the right answer, and the backend, APIs, and web development layer behind it all. If your company is evaluating whether to outsource app development, the question is not domestic versus offshore β it is whether a senior Canadian team on your timezone, with full IP ownership and fixed USD pricing, is the third option you have not priced out yet.
Every engagement covers the full build β from discovery call to live App Store and Google Play listings β with the guarantees US companies care about most.
You own everything we build. Complete source code, infrastructure configuration, and App Store accounts are transferred to you. No lock-in, no dependencies β you can maintain it with any team.

Outsource nearshore, not offshore: same timezone, native English, common-law contracts. That one line explains why US companies hire a Canadian team over an offshore alternative that looks cheaper on paper. Offshore quotes erode fast β overnight feedback loops, communication friction, and rework that costs more than the savings. With DS Web Solutions you get a senior Canadian team on Eastern Time, with full business-day overlap for every US timezone, communicating in native English over Slack or your preferred channel. The legal framework matters too: Canada's common-law system means your IP assignment, NDAs, and contracts work the way your US counsel expects them to. The USDβCAD exchange rate puts our fixed-price proposals 25β30% below comparable US agency quotes β that is a structural currency advantage, not a promotional discount. The engagement runs the way you would want a domestic project to run: a discovery phase that produces a fixed-price USD proposal, working software demonstrated every two weeks over Zoom, and an honest recommendation on whether you need a native app at all or should launch as a Progressive Web App first. We will tell you when the less expensive path is the right one.
Our stack is chosen for longevity and maintainability, not novelty. Mobile apps are built in React Native with TypeScript β the open-source framework Meta maintains and uses in its own apps β rendering real native interface components on iOS and Android from a single codebase, with native modules underneath for platform-specific features. Progressive Web Apps are built on Next.js with service workers for offline support and installability. Backends and APIs are built in Node.js or Python and deployed on AWS, with databases selected by workload β PostgreSQL for transactional data, DynamoDB for event-driven workloads at scale. For apps that take payment, we integrate Stripe, Square, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, with App Store and Google Play in-app purchase rules handled correctly from the architecture stage. For US healthcare and regulated-industry clients, we design with HIPAA-aware controls β encryption at rest and in transit, least-privilege access, and audit logging β and document our controls for your compliance review. Every app ships with event tracking and crash reporting from day one, so decisions about version two come from what users actually do.
We are a Vaughan, Ontario-based agency β not a freelancer marketplace or an offshore outsourcing shop. Your project is handled in-house by Canadian developers who understand the Canadian business landscape, provincial compliance requirements, and the GTA market.
Web development, software, AI automation, e-commerce, analytics, and local SEO β all delivered in-house by the same team. No handoffs to preferred vendors. One contract, one point of accountability, one invoice.
Every project begins with a detailed written proposal and a fixed price. We do not bill by the hour on scoped projects. The number you approve is the number on your final invoice β no scope creep surprises.
We set up measurement and reporting on every engagement so you can see exactly what your investment is producing. No vanity metrics β we track leads, conversions, revenue, and the KPIs that matter to your business.
Free consultation for app development β US companies welcome.
