FAQ

Questions we get asked.

If yours is not here, just ask. We reply within one business day.

Who owns the code and the app?

You do. On final payment, all rights to the custom work transfer to you, including source code, designs, and documentation. You get everything in a written handoff. We do not hold your product hostage as leverage for a maintenance contract.

Whose Apple and Google accounts is the app published under?

Yours. We recommend clients own their developer accounts so the listing, reviews, and app history belong to you permanently. We handle setup and submission, and if you ever move to another developer, nothing has to be transferred or rebuilt.

How much does an app cost?

Custom projects start at $5,000, and most business apps land between $10,000 and $40,000 depending on scope and complexity. Published starting points are on the pricing page. Every project gets a fixed quote after discovery, so you are never billed hourly against an open-ended estimate.

How long does a project take?

A focused MVP is typically two to four months. Larger business applications commonly run four to six months or more. Timeline depends on scope, integration complexity, and how quickly review and feedback cycles happen on your side.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes. We have a mutual NDA ready to sign before discovery, and confidentiality terms are built into our standard services agreement.

What happens if we want to change something mid-project?

Small adjustments within the agreed scope are normal and expected. Anything genuinely outside scope becomes a written change order with the additional cost and timeline impact stated up front, so nothing gets billed as a surprise.

Where are you based, and does it matter?

We are remote-first and work with clients anywhere in the US. Our two founders already work from different states, so collaborating with a client we have never met in person is simply how the studio runs. Location has never been the reason a project went sideways.

What do you need from us to get started?

An honest picture of the problem you are solving and who it is for. You do not need a spec, wireframes, or technical knowledge. If you have existing designs or a partial build, we can work from those too.
