From Kickoff to Live

The OTT App Development Process in 4 Steps

  1. 1

    Kickoff & branding

    Share your logo, colors, target devices and business model. We map every app screen to your brand.

  2. 2

    Configure the platform

    We set up your player, EPG, admin panel, content and monetization rules around how you run your service. Nothing is coded from zero.

  3. 3

    Publish to your stores

    We handle submission and certification on every store you choose, including the TV stores with long review queues.

  4. 4

    Run & grow

    Manage everything from one panel, add resellers and new devices, and let our team ship every OS and store update. Typical timeline: 3 weeks from kickoff to the first app live.

OTT TV, Mobile & Web Apps

One CMS for Every App You Launch

Upload a title once and it appears on every device. One admin panel runs the whole OTT platform: content, live channels and EPG, users and devices, subscriptions and pricing, resellers and analytics.

No juggling five tools to run one service, and no waiting on a developer to change a banner.

What Does OTT App Development Cost?

A custom build from an OTT app development company is usually priced per platform.

A mobile pair, a web app and three TV apps each come with design, development, QA and store certification, plus yearly maintenance to keep up with OS changes. That's why agency quotes climb fast, and why most of the cost comes after launch.

With inoRain, the platform is already built.

You pay one-time, per-platform app pricing for the apps you need, and updates and store maintenance are handled by our team. What changes the price:

  • Number of platforms you launch on

  • Depth of UI customization

  • Live TV / FAST / DRM requirements

  • Reseller and multi-tenant setup

Frequently Asked Questions

OTT app development is the process of creating streaming apps that deliver video over the internet to phones, browsers, smart TVs and streaming devices, along with the backend behind them: content management, DRM, delivery and billing. You can build it from scratch with a development team, or launch on an existing OTT platform like inoRain and get branded apps without writing code.
Not necessarily. A development company builds your apps and backend from zero, which usually takes 3–8 months per platform set. inoRain is an OTT platform provider: the technology is already built, and our team configures, brands, publishes and maintains your apps for you.
A from-scratch build typically takes 3–8 months. On inoRain, the first apps typically go live in 3 weeks, mostly depending on store review times, especially on smart-TV stores.
Custom builds are priced per platform, plus yearly maintenance. inoRain uses one-time, per-platform app pricing with updates and store maintenance included. Your final price depends on the number of devices, UI customization and features like live TV, FAST or DRM.
iOS, Android, web and desktop, Samsung and LG smart TVs, Android TV / Google TV, Roku, Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV. You choose the stores, and we publish and maintain the apps.
It covers both. You get a custom OTT app with your brand, UI, monetization rules and store accounts, built on inoRain's white-label OTT platform. You get what a custom build gives you without the development project.
Yes. Apps are published to your own App Store, Google Play and TV store accounts under your developer profile. Viewers only see your brand.
