Common questions
How much does a custom app cost?
Most apps start between $2,500 and $12,000 to build, plus a monthly plan from $150 that covers hosting, updates and support. You get a fixed price in writing before any work starts.
How long does it take?
Most projects go from first call to launch in 4 to 8 weeks. Simple apps can be faster.
Why does it cost so much less than an agency?
We build from a tested set of building blocks with a streamlined process, so work that used to take months now takes weeks. You get a custom app without paying for months of agency hours.
Do I need to know what I want?
No. Most owners know what's frustrating, not what the app should look like. Figuring that out is what the free call and discovery are for.
Will it work with the tools I already use?
Often, yes. We can connect to tools like Google Calendar, QuickBooks, Square and Stripe when they allow it. We check every connection during discovery, before you commit.
Will my app be in the App Store?
It can be. Most businesses start with a web app that installs on any phone with one tap, which is faster to launch and update. When an App Store listing makes sense, we publish it under your business name.
Who owns the app and the data?
Your data is always yours, and you can export it any time. Your contract spells out exactly what happens to the app if you ever leave, so there are no surprises.
Can customers pay through my app?
Yes. Payments run through Stripe and go straight to your bank account. Apps that take payments include a small per-transaction platform fee, and we show you the exact rate in your proposal.
What happens after launch?
Your monthly plan covers hosting, monitoring, backups, security updates and a set number of change hours each month. When something breaks, you call a person who knows your app.
