How many kinds of user
One audience is one app. A customer, a technician and a manager is three sets of screens and three sets of rules — the single biggest multiplier on any quote.
What a project costs, and how the price is set
There is no price list on this page, because an honest number depends on what you are actually building. What there is instead is the entire pricing model in the open: how the figure is arrived at, what moves it, what is deliberately not included, and what you own when the work is finished.
How pricing works here
- A free scope call first, with no obligation and no commitment to a quote.
- One fixed price in USD, in writing, before you commit to anything.
- Never hourly billing. You are buying a delivered result, not an engineer's calendar.
- Three or four milestones: 30% upfront, the rest per delivered milestone.
- A milestone is working software you can open — and it is not invoiced until you accept it.
What actually moves the number
Payments
Taking money means a gateway, refunds, failed charges and reconciliation. It is rarely the small feature people expect it to be.
Whether it has to work offline
Software that keeps working with no signal costs more than software that assumes a connection, because the difficult part is what happens when the phone comes back.
Integrations with what you already run
Connecting to your existing system is cheap when that system has a usable API and expensive when it does not. We find out which before quoting, not after.
Arabic and right-to-left
Budgeted as design and layout work rather than a translation line. A properly bilingual interface is a second layout, not a second list of strings.
An admin side
If your team needs to change prices, times or content without calling us, that is a second product with its own screens. Worth it for most businesses — and priced openly rather than hidden.
The smallest and the largest thing we take on
A business website is the smallest engagement we take. A full mobile product with accounts and payments, published to both stores, is the largest. Everything else — a portal, an internal system, an MVP, a rebuild — sits between those two, and where it sits is decided by the list above rather than by how ambitious the idea sounds.
Tell us the budget you have in mind on the first call. You will get an honest answer about what fits inside it, including when the answer is that it does not, or that a smaller build reaches the same goal for less. That conversation costs nothing and it is better had at the start.
What is not in the price
Running costs are billed to your own accounts rather than marked up through us, so you always see the real number:
- Hosting, or Firebase usage, depending on what the product needs — estimated in the quote.
- The Apple Developer Program, 99 USD a year, if you are publishing an iOS app.
- Google Play registration, a one-time 25 USD, if you are publishing on Android.
- The fees any third-party service charges you directly, a payment gateway's percentage being the usual one.
What the price does include
- The source code and the intellectual property, owned by you.
- Hosting, domain, storage and app store accounts created in your name from the first day.
- Store submission handled, including the back-and-forth with app review until it is live.
- Twelve months of free support and maintenance after launch.
- Small changes and updates free for the first three months on top of that.
How to get an actual number
Describe the problem rather than the feature list. How the business runs today, who will use the thing, and what has to be true on the day it launches. A feature list describes a solution somebody has already chosen; the problem is what a price can be built on.
What comes back is a written scope summary, an honest go or no-go, and then a fixed price with a milestone plan and a date. Nothing starts until you approve it in writing and pay the 30% deposit.
Common questions
Why is there no price list on this page?
Because any number we published would be either so wide that it tells you nothing, or specific enough to be wrong for you. Two apps that sound identical in a sentence can differ by a factor of three once you know how many kinds of user they have. Everything about pricing that can be stated honestly without seeing your project is on this page — the rest takes one free call.
Why no hourly billing?
Because hourly billing puts us on opposite sides. If slow work pays better, something is wrong with the arrangement. A fixed price means the estimate is our problem rather than yours, and it means you know the total before you commit instead of finding out month by month.
What happens if the scope changes after we start?
A fixed quote covers what the quote describes. If you want something that is not in it, you get a price for that addition before it is built and you are free to say no, or to leave it for later. What does not happen is an invoice arriving for work you never agreed to.
Can you work to a fixed budget?
Usually, by changing the scope rather than the quality. Tell us the number and we will tell you what genuinely fits inside it — and if nothing useful does, you will hear that too. An honest no at the start is cheaper for both of us than a compromised build.
What is the 30% deposit for?
It starts the work and it reserves the time. After that, every payment follows a delivered milestone you have opened and accepted, so the money and the working software stay in step the whole way through.
Is the scope call genuinely free?
Yes. No obligation, no commitment to a quote afterwards, and no charge for the written scope summary that comes out of it. If the honest answer is that we are the wrong studio for the project, that is what you will be told on the call.
Get a fixed price for your project
One call, then a written scope and a number in USD. Nothing starts and nothing is owed until you have both in front of you.
