Who it's built for

Not every business needs an app. These ones do.

If your customers come back more than once, your ticket size is $100+, or you have inventory or appointments, an app turns repeat customers into a system instead of a habit.

Automotive & Wheels

Appointment booking, vehicle profile saved, loyalty drops, photo gallery of builds, referral rewards. Wheel culture is fashion — give it the app it deserves.

Landscaping & Outdoor

Customer portal for quotes, service history, before/after photos, seasonal reminders. Crews get dispatch, time tracking, and job photos. One app, both sides.

Multi-Location Retail

Check inventory across stores, loyalty points that follow the customer, location-specific offers, in-store check-in rewards.

Restaurants & Cafes

Branded ordering, loyalty punch card, push notifications for daily specials, customer favorites saved. Beats being one of fifty options on DoorDash.

Service Businesses

HVAC, pest control, cleaning, home services — book the job, track the tech, pay from the app, leave the review. Turns one-offs into recurring.

Membership & Clubs

Gyms, salons, clubs — member check-in, class schedules, direct messaging, exclusive member content. Your brand in their pocket, not a third party's.

Add-ons

Scale up when the base isn't enough.

Your $5,000 base covers what most single-brand, single-location businesses need. Add these if you need more reach, more features, or more integrations.

Is an app right for your business?

An honest checklist. If you can say yes to three of these five, an app will pay for itself. If not, we'll tell you straight and point you at the $500 website instead.

  1. Repeat customers. You have customers who come back more than once a year — loyalty, bookings, or membership makes sense.
  2. Ticket size of $100+. Each transaction is meaningful enough that repeat visits and referrals move real revenue.
  3. Inventory, bookings, or accounts. Your business has something the customer wants to check, reserve, or track on their own time.
  4. You're already doing $500K+ per year. The math penciling out — an app adds 5–15% to revenue and you need the baseline to make that meaningful.
  5. You own the customer relationship. Not a franchise running on corporate's system. You decide the branding, the loyalty program, the promotions.

Common Questions

Why $5,000 instead of $25,000 like agencies quote?

Because we're not an agency billing junior developers by the hour. We've already built the hard parts — auth, payments, push, store submission, AR, AI image pipelines, watchOS, SaaS data pipelines — across seven of our own products (ThrottleShare, Ridgerun, DriftPatrol, NotaryVault, Lumenly, SplashLens, GrainBrief). Your app reuses that foundation and gets branded to your business. Same quality, a fraction of the time, a fraction of the price.

How long does it take?

4–6 weeks from kickoff to App Store approval for a standard build. Add-ons can extend that by 1–2 weeks each. Priority build is 2 weeks flat.

Why do I need the $200/month maintenance?

Apps aren't websites. Apple and Google push OS updates twice a year that can break apps. Push certificates expire. Store policies change. Crash reports need triage. The $200/month covers all of that for the first 6 months — after that you can cancel or continue. Most clients continue.

Do I need an Apple Developer account and Google Play account?

Yes — they're required for your app to live under your business name. We walk you through setup. Apple is $99/year, Google is $25 one-time. Those are paid directly to Apple and Google, not to us.

Do I own the app?

Yes. Source code is yours. The app lives under your Apple and Google developer accounts. If you ever wanted to take it to another developer, you could.

What about App Store rejections?

We handle them. Rejections happen to everyone — Apple rejected ThrottleShare four times before approval, and we fixed each one. We include unlimited submission cycles for the first approval.

Can the app work with my existing website?

Yes. The app can share a customer database with your site, sync orders, or use your existing login. If we also built your website, integration is free. If we didn't, it's covered by the Custom API Integration add-on.

Does having an app help my SEO and AI search visibility?

Yes — in two direct ways. First, App Store and Google Play listings are indexed by Google and show up in search results, adding a second branded touchpoint for your business name. Second, apps reinforce your brand entity signals: the more consistent mentions of your business name, URL, and category across the web (website, GBP, App Store, Google Play, social), the more confidently AI engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity will recommend you by name. It's a trust amplifier, not a replacement for SEO — but it stacks on top of it. If you're also on the $500/month services plan, we wire up app deep links and App Store structured data to your overall AEO strategy.

What is AEO and why does it matter for my app?

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization — the practice of making your business the recommended answer when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, or Claude a question like "what's the best landscaping app in Bloomington?" Traditional SEO targets the blue-link results. AEO targets the AI-generated answer that appears above them. Every app we build includes App Store structured data, consistent entity naming, and a launch brief for your web presence — all of which feed the AEO signals that get your business recommended by AI engines, not just found in search.

What if my business is too small right now?

We'll tell you. If you don't pass the fit check, we'll recommend a website first and revisit the app later. We don't sell apps to businesses that don't need them.
