Questions
Before you ask
How much does an app cost?
It depends on what it does. A small first version costs far less than a finished product with every feature, so we price the first version on its own. After the free idea check you get a written quote, one stage at a time, and nothing is billed until you OK it.
Who owns the app?
When you pay for the build, the app is yours, and it goes in your own App Store and Google Play accounts. We write down who owns what before any work starts. In a partnership, the agreement spells out the split.
Do you build for both iPhone and Android?
Yes. Most of our apps are one codebase that runs on both, which keeps the cost down. We also build websites and web apps.
Can you take over or fix an app someone else built?
Yes. Send a link to the app and tell us what's wrong. We'll look at what you have and tell you in writing whether to fix it or start fresh.
Will you partner instead of charging a fee?
For the right idea, yes. If you bring the customers or the expertise, we can build for a share of what it earns. Pick "Looking for a partner" on the form and make your case.
Can we just hop on a call?
We do everything by email. It keeps every answer, price and promise in writing, and you can read it on your own time.
Will you sign an NDA?
Ask in your email. For the first message, tell us the problem you're solving, not the secret part. That's enough for a useful answer.
