See your app idea designed free before you pay

Not at all. You bring the idea and the vision for your business; we handle all the building and explain everything in plain English along the way. Most of the people we work with have never written a line of code.

One flat price, agreed up front. A single tool with no logins is $1,997. An app people sign into and pay for is $3,997. AI built in is $6,997. A multi-sided platform like Uber or DoorDash is $9,997. We'll tell you exactly which one fits on the free call — and if it runs long on our end, the price doesn't change.

Two to six weeks depending on the package: Kickstart in 2, Launch in 3, Automate in 4, Scale in 6. We nail down the scope on the call, then a dedicated team moves fast. If your app is bigger, we'll say so up front and give you an honest timeline.

Weekly, spread across the build — a 4-week app is four equal payments. Each week we meet, show you what we built, get your feedback, and only then is the next payment due. You never pay for a week you haven't seen. If you'd rather pay up front, that works too. Nothing is due until after your free call.

Walk away. The code is yours from day one, so if it's not working out at week two, you keep everything built so far and can take it anywhere. No contract lock-in, no notice period.

Yes. After the call we design your whole app for free — real screens you can click through on your phone, usually within 24 hours. Show it to customers, partners, or investors before spending a dollar. If you don't love it, you owe nothing and the design is still yours.

You do, 100%. It's published under your name on your own app store accounts, with your database and your code in your repo. We don't take equity or keep any rights, and we sign an NDA before we start. If we vanished tomorrow, any developer could pick it up.

Yes, on Launch and above. We build the listing, write the copy, design the screenshots, and submit under your account. You create the accounts — we send a checklist and walk you through it.

That's usually the smartest way. Start with Kickstart or Launch to get real users, then add payments, AI, or a second user type later. Each stage has its own flat price, so you only commit to one at a time.

Once it's live, any of our monthly plans keeps it running and growing: Maintain ($250/mo) for bugs, updates, and 24/7 access to an engineer; Grow ($999/mo) adds unlimited feature requests. Subscribe for a month when you have work, pause when you don't. No plan required — the app runs fine on its own.

Only what the app needs to run — hosting, a web address, and app store developer accounts — paid directly to those providers, usually $10–100/month. If your app uses AI or third-party services, we tell you the per-use cost before we build it in.

Tristyn runs every project and is in every meeting — you're never handed off. Our senior engineers are based in the Philippines and have been with us for years, which is how we keep prices where they are. Tristyn spent 10+ years at Austin startups, built an MVP that raised $20M, and owns a 4.9-star app in the App Store.

We use AI to build faster, which is part of why we're affordable. Whether AI is in your app is your call — some clients want it front and center, others want none because their customers wouldn't trust it. Either way, it's custom code, not a no-code tool or template.

Weekly demos of the real app where we build a to-do list together. Every meeting is recorded and transcribed so nothing gets lost, and we send screenshots of every screen so you can mark them up.

No — we build the tech and get it live. Tristyn runs ads for his own app and is happy to share what works, but we don't sell it as a service.

Yes, honestly. Most apps fail; the ones that succeed are almost always built by someone who knows the industry and already has customers or contacts. If we see a problem, we say so on the call before you spend anything.

Absolutely. Come with a sketch, a few sentences, or an app you want to do better than, and we'll turn it into a clear plan on the call. No pitch deck required.
