Launch Your Social Media App Using Already-Proven Features

The most popular social apps didn’t start with some “magical” idea. They combined features people already know and love. Now you can do the same. Pick the features your platform needs, we put them together, and you launch your app while your competition’s still in “preparation mode”.

A Smarter Way to Build a Social Media Platform

Any social platform that went viral was not because it had some “genius” idea.

Live streaming is exploding. The global market is projected to hit $500 billion by 2030, growing at 23% annually. Users are watching nearly 30 billion hours of live video globally, spending an average of 25 minutes per session.

Every month you wait to launch is market share lost to competitors who are already live and capturing this audience.

The window is open. The question is: will you enter now or watch others take your users?

How Bigo Live Built a Billion-Dollar App Using Features That Already Existed

Bigo Live shows you don’t need to create something brand new to succeed.
The app has over 500 million downloads worldwide and made $1.77 billion in revenue by 2023.

And here’s what’s interesting: Bigo Live didn’t invent the features it has. It used the same ones the giants were already using – like live video, chat, and multi-guest streams.

Bigo Live just took those features people were already familiar with and liked, and put them together.

They focused on execution, not innovation.

Our 4-Step App Development Process

1: You Explain Your Idea

You let us know what you want to build and who your audience is; gamers, fitness creators, musicians, educators, or a general entertainment platform.

2: Choose the Features

You choose the core modules (streaming, chat, gifts) and decide which extras to add now or later.

3: We Build & Customize

Our team adds in your chosen features, applies your branding and handles all technical work. You review and approve at each stage.

4: Launch

Your app goes live on iOS, Android, and web. And as your app starts to grow, then you can have more features added without rebuilding everything from scratch.

Flexible Pricing Based on Your Needs

Since every live streaming platform is different, there’s no fixed digit we can quote you.

The cost depends on:

  • Which modules you choose
  • How much customization you need
  • Which platforms you launch on

However, to give you a ballpark figure, most live streaming apps we built cost between $3,000 and $15,000.

Once you tell us your requirements, only then can we send you a precise custom quote within 24 hours.

If we get into an agreement, this is what you’ll get:

  • Complete source code

     

  • 100% ownership

     

  • Tested core features

     

  • Faster launch (in weeks, not months)

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I start with only basic features?
Absolutely! You don’t need to launch with everything at once. Most apps start with the essentials and then add more features later as the platform grows.
What is the advantage of this approach?
It saves you time and reduces headaches. All the features we offer are already built and tested with millions of users, so you don’t have to wait months for development and you launch with features you know will work.
Can this work for niche communities?
Yes, and it works really well. If you’re building for a specific audience like a fitness community or professional network, you can choose only the features your audience needs: groups, live streaming, messaging, or content sharing.
Can I buy individual modules separately?
Definitely. If you only want one specific feature such as live streaming or AR filters for an existing app, we can work out pricing for that. Just reach out and tell us what you need.
How much will my app cost?
It depends on the features you choose. Social platforms we’ve built usually range from $3,000 to $15,000. The exact price can be shared after a quick chat with us—typically within 24 hours.
