Pricing · USD

3 days free. $200 to launch.

Every project starts with three days of free development. If the app is done, launching it costs $200. If there's more to build, pay $800 a week or ask for a fixed quote. Either way, the first three months of maintenance are free.

    • Code transferred to you with your first payment

    If you'd rather know the total up front

    Quoted

    After the free 3 days we both know the codebase and the pace, so I can quote the rest as a fixed price.

    • Written scope and a fixed total
    • Paid in milestones you approve one by one
    • Same daily reporting and project page

  • Maintenance

    After launch

    $0for 3 months

    The first three months after launch are on me. After that, book a week whenever you need one.

    • Bug fixes in the code I wrote
    • OS, SDK and library updates that break the build
    • Help with store review issues after updates
    • New features are billed by the week

  • The fine print, in plain English

    • The first 3 days are free, whatever you want built. No card, no invoice.
    • If the app is done, Launch is a flat $200. If there's more to build, choose weekly ($800 a week, paid before each week, stop anytime) or a fixed price quoted after the 3 days.
    • The code lives in my private repository during the free days — you can read it and install every build. The whole repository is transferred to you with your first payment.
    • Third-party costs are yours and in your name: Apple and Google developer accounts, cloud hosting, OpenAI usage.
    • I invoice in USD through Payoneer.

After day 3, you choose.

Each path works like an Upwork milestone: you pay for the next piece, I build it with daily reports, and you approve it before anything else is billed.

FAQ

About payment and scope.

What can I get in the free 3 days?

Anything you want built — the app, the backend, the AI features. I start with what matters most to you. If the app is simple, it may be finished in those 3 days; then Launch is a flat $200. If not, you'll have working builds on your phone and a clear picture of what's left.

Who owns the code and the IP?

You do, once you've paid. During the free days the code lives in my private repository — you can read all of it and install every build. With your first payment (Launch, or the first week) the whole repository is transferred to your GitHub, and all code and IP are yours. I'm happy to sign an NDA before you share anything. If you don't continue, nothing is owed either way.

What does the $200 Launch include?

Deploying the backend to production on your cloud account, submitting the app to the App Store and Google Play, handling review feedback until both apps are approved, and transferring the code. It doesn't cover rejections caused by the app's concept breaking store policy, and the developer accounts, hosting and OpenAI usage are paid by you, in your name.

How does weekly billing work?

$800 per week. You pay for a week before it starts, I build with a plan each morning and a summary each evening, and you get an installable build and demo at the end of the week. Stop after any week. If you'd rather know the total up front, I'll quote a fixed price for the rest after the free 3 days.

What's in the 3 months of free maintenance?

Fixing bugs in the code I wrote, keeping the app building as iOS, Android and libraries update, and helping with store review after updates. New features are billed by the week.

How do I pay?

In USD, invoiced through Payoneer. Nothing is due for the free 3 days.
