ApptillionThree ways to work together, and all three prices
Most studios make you book a call to learn what they charge. Ours are below. A week of discovery, a six-week fixed-price build, and ongoing care once the thing your business depends on is live.
The price is on the page
You know what this costs before you email us. No discovery call to find out if you can afford it.
Discovery before the quote
A week inside the real process, so the number we give you is a number and not a hedge.
You own all of it
Your repository, your domain, your hosting accounts. Nothing to hand over, because you already hold it.
Engagement Models
Pick the stage you are at
Most engagements start with discovery and move to a build. The care plan only makes sense once something is live.
Discovery Sprint
One week · credited toward your build
A week spent inside your actual process — the forms, the exceptions, the thing you do manually because the software won't. You leave with a written build specification, a clickable prototype of the core screen, and a fixed-price quote. If you go ahead with the build, this fee comes off it.
What's included:
- Working sessions on the real process, not a requirements form
- A written build spec: scope, data model, integrations
- An explicit out-of-scope list, agreed in writing
- A clickable prototype of the screen that matters most
- Fixed-price, fixed-timeline quote for the build
- Yours to keep, even if you build it elsewhere
For teams who know something is broken but haven't pinned down what to build.
Start a Discovery SprintFixed-Scope Build
Six weeks · price agreed before we start
Everything in the specification, shipped to production on your own domain and in your own repository. Accounts, permissions, and your real data. Built to work on a phone in a truck as well as a desktop in an office, because that is where the work happens.
What's included:
- Every item in the agreed spec, built and deployed
- Accounts, roles, and permissions with real data isolation
- Works on phone and desktop from day one
- Payments, email, and document generation where the job needs them
- Deployed to your domain, code in your repository
- Two weeks of post-launch fixes included
For teams ready to replace the spreadsheet with something they own.
Book a BuildCare Plan
Per month · cancel with 30 days notice
Software rots when it is left alone. Dependencies update, APIs change, regulations get revised, and the business does things this year it didn't do last year. This keeps the application current instead of slowly becoming the next thing someone has to replace.
What's included:
- Hosting, monitoring, and tested backups
- Fixes when dependencies, APIs, or rules change
- A standing block of change hours every month
- Priority response when something breaks
- Quarterly review of what to add and what to remove
- No lock-in — you keep the code either way
For businesses that now depend on the thing we built.
