Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost to build an app like Instagram?
A focused niche social app MVP with profiles, photo/video sharing, feed, and follow system typically ranges from $40,000 to $100,000. Full-featured social platforms with real-time features, stories, and advanced discovery algorithms are larger investments.
Is building a general Instagram competitor a good idea?
Competing with Instagram directly is extremely difficult. The winning strategy is a niche social app built for a specific audience - surfers, motorcyclists, chefs, athletes - where you can own the community and Instagram's algorithm works against you. That's how MotoRev was built.
What social features do you build?
User profiles with photo/video upload, activity feed with infinite scroll, follow and friend systems, likes and comments, direct messaging, stories and highlights, notifications, hashtags, and discovery features.
Have you built a real social app?
Yes. MotoRev is a social and GPS tracking app for motorcycle riders built by 47 Industries. It has a social feed, group ride coordination, live location sharing, and community features. We build from operator experience.
How do you handle media storage and video at scale?
We use Cloudflare R2 or AWS S3 for media storage, Cloudflare for CDN and image optimization, and HLS streaming for video delivery. Social apps require media infrastructure built for scale from the start.
