The Vow, applied
- §1 Your price is fixed.Your app's price is fixed in the Blueprint, screen by screen.
- §2 You pay as we deliver.You pay for each milestone after you've tried it on your own phone.
- §3 You own everything. Day one.Your code and both app-store accounts are in your name from day one.
- §4 Late? You pay less.Every milestone has a date; app-store review time pauses the clock, and each full week late takes 10% off that milestone, up to 50%.
- §5 Bugs fixed free for 90 days.Crashes and defects found within 90 days of launch are fixed free.
Cross-platform or native: how we decide
Most products work well as a single cross-platform app that runs on both iOS and Android. It costs less to build, and every update ships to both stores at once. We recommend native development when your app depends on heavy graphics, advanced camera or sensor features, or behavior that must feel exactly like each platform. You get the recommendation, and the reasons for it, in the Blueprint.
Launch day
We prepare your store listings, screenshots and privacy details, submit to the App Store and Google Play from accounts in your name, and handle reviewers' questions. When the apps are live, you get the code, every account and a written handover checklist.
After launch
Phones and app stores change every year. Within the first 90 days we fix defects at no cost; after that, maintenance from $390 a month keeps your app updated for new iOS and Android versions.
Questions about mobile apps
Should I build cross-platform or native?
Cross-platform, meaning one codebase for iOS and Android, is usually faster and cheaper and suits most products. Native makes sense for heavy graphics, advanced device features or very platform-specific behavior. We recommend one in the Blueprint and explain why in plain English.
How much does a mobile app cost?
Mobile apps start at $8,900 at $28 an hour. The calculator gives you a range for your features, and the Blueprint fixes the exact price.
How long does app-store approval take?
Review times vary from hours to several days, and they are outside anyone's control. Under the Vow, app-store review time pauses the deadline clock, and we submit early enough to leave room for it.
What do the app stores charge?
Apple charges $99 a year for a developer account, and Google charges a one-time $25 fee. The accounts are opened in your name and you pay those fees directly.
Can you add an app to my existing web product?
Yes. We connect the app to your existing backend or build one, and price it feature by feature in the Blueprint.
