What it costs to finish and ship your app
Prices last changed
Finishing an app you already have starts with a $400 launch-readiness audit, credited to the fix if you go ahead. The fix is a finish sprint at $1,200 per week, usually 1–2 weeks, and the audit says how many weeks it needs, so you know the total before work starts.
Payments start from $1,200, with Connect payouts to sellers from $2,400. An iOS and Android launch starts from $2,400, and monthly care after launch is $1,500 per month. The first 30-minute call is free, there is no hourly billing, and what we quote is what you pay.

How is the price set?
The launch-readiness audit sets it. The audit reviews your code, database security, payments, hosting and store readiness, then says how many weeks of finish sprint the fix needs, so you know the total before work starts. You keep the written report whatever you decide, and the $400 is credited to the fix if you go ahead.
Payments and the iOS and Android launch are priced from a starting point. Stripe checkout and subscriptions start from $1,200, Connect payouts to sellers from $2,400, and the launch from $2,400. A full React Native build is quoted after the audit.
What does a new app built from scratch cost?
New builds from scratch use the fixed-price MVP packages: MVP Starter from $2,900, Growth & Scale from $7,500, and Enterprise Transformation, priced custom. Each starts with a free 30-minute discovery call and a fixed-price proposal. Compare the MVP packages on the home page.
Who is this for, and who isn't it for?
For founders whose app was built with Lovable, Replit, Bolt or Cursor, runs on Sharetribe, or was left half-built by a previous developer.

Questions about price and terms
How much does a project cost?
For an app you already have, it starts with a $400 launch-readiness audit, credited to the fix if you go ahead; the fix is $1,200 per week, usually one or two weeks, and monthly care after launch is $1,500 a month. Stripe payments start at $1,200 (marketplace payouts at $2,400) and an iOS and Android launch at $2,400. For a new build, our MVP Starter package begins at $2,900, Growth projects from $7,500, and Enterprise work is custom-scoped. Either way there is no hourly billing and no surprise invoices. What we quote is what you pay.
Do I own the code and IP when the project is done?
100%. Full source code, all assets, and all intellectual property transfer to you on final payment. We also hand over clean documentation and onboarding materials so your internal team can take over confidently.
What happens after launch?
Every build includes 35 days of free maintenance after launch, for real problems: bugs in what we built. New features are quoted separately. After that, ongoing fixes, updates and releases are covered by the $1,500/month care plan.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes, on request before any discovery call. We treat every client's business model, technical specs, and proprietary information as strictly confidential, regardless of whether an NDA is in place.
