App Pricing

An app in both stores, built to be a business rather than a demo. Three tiers with the price stated up front and analytics configured before the first user arrives.

Prices shown for where your business is based. Switch if that is somewhere else — the final currency and any tax are confirmed at checkout.

Prices shown are a quote in USD. Your final currency and any applicable tax are confirmed at checkout — EU businesses with a valid VAT number are zero-rated under the reverse charge.

You will be able to see whether it works

An asset you cannot measure is a guess. Every tier ships with Google Analytics 4 conversion tracking already configured, so the enquiries, sign-ups and sales your site or app produces are counted from the first day it is live.

Conversions, not just visits

We define what counts as a result for your business — a form sent, a call started, a purchase — and configure GA4 to record each one as a conversion event.

A 30-day baseline

Thirty days after launch we send you a plain-language report of what actually happened. It is your starting number, so every later change can be compared against something real.

Your account, your data

The analytics property belongs to you. If we stop working together you keep the history, the configuration and the access.

We do not promise a specific increase in traffic, leads or revenue — nobody honestly can. What we commit to is that you will be able to measure the result yourself.

Not sure which tier?

Answer a few questions and we will tell you which tier fits — or quote the work properly if none of them do.

Step 1 of 4

Before you buy

We build one codebase that ships to both stores. It is faster to build, cheaper to maintain, and behaves natively on each platform. If your app genuinely needs a fully native build, we will say so before you pay.

We do — including the store listings, screenshots, privacy declarations and the review back-and-forth. You need your own developer accounts, since the apps must be published under your business.

It is a three-month build, so it is quoted and invoiced rather than paid by card. We scope the work, send a quote, and invoice half on signing to cover work in progress; the balance is invoiced when the app is delivered and accepted. Pay by bank transfer or cheque. You are never asked to pay the full amount before you have seen anything.

Apple and Google developer account fees, any third-party services the app depends on (payments, maps, SMS), and ongoing feature work after launch. We list these before you commit, not after.

The build tiers get an app made and shipped. The retainer keeps it moving — new features, releases, store compliance and integrations, month to month, cancellable with 30 days notice.

That is common. Use the scoping tool below — we will quote the actual work rather than stretching a package to fit.
