Who It's For ## NOT EVERYONE NEEDS ONE. THESE DO. Repeat customers. $100+ tickets. Inventory or appointments. If that's you - an app turns repeat visits into a system, not a habit. AUTO #### Automotive & Wheels Bookings, vehicle profiles, loyalty drops, build galleries - your brand, not a third party's. LAND #### Landscaping & Outdoor Customer portal, service history, before/afters. Crew dispatch and time tracking on the same app. RTL #### Multi-Location Retail Cross-store inventory, loyalty points that follow the customer, location-specific offers. FOOD #### Restaurants & Cafes Branded ordering, push specials, loyalty card. Beats being one of fifty on DoorDash. SVC #### Service Businesses Book, track the tech, pay in-app, leave a review. Turns one-offs into recurring customers. CLUB #### Membership & Clubs Check-in, class schedules, exclusive content. Your brand in their pocket - not a third party's. Add-Ons ## SCALE UP WHEN THE BASE ISN'T ENOUGH. The $5K base covers most single-brand, single-location businesses. Add these when you need more power. #### Multi-Location Support Per-location inventory, hours, staff, branding +$1,500 #### Payments & Checkout Stripe / Apple Pay / Google Pay +$750 #### Loyalty & Rewards Points, punch cards, referral codes, tiered +$750 #### Booking & Scheduling Calendar, slot selection, staff assignment +$750 #### Custom API Integration CRM, POS, QuickBooks, existing systems +$750 #### Push Notifications Offers, reminders, direct to lock screen +$500 #### User Accounts & Profiles Social login, saved prefs, history, favorites +$500 #### Camera / Photo Features Uploads, before/after galleries, submissions +$500 #### GPS & Location Maps, nearest-location, geofenced offers +$500 #### Extra Screen Beyond the 6 included - any new section or flow +$300 #### Logo / Icon Design Custom app icon + branding pack +$200 #### Priority Build (2-week) We clear the decks for you +$1,000 Fit Check ## IS AN APP RIGHT FOR YOU? Three of five = it pays for itself. Anything less - we'll tell you and point you at the $500 website instead. 1. **Repeat customers.** They come back more than once a year. 2. **$100+ ticket size.** Repeat visits and referrals move real revenue. 3. **Inventory, bookings, or accounts.** Something they want to check or reserve on their own time. 4. **$500K+/year revenue.** An app adds 5-15% - you need the baseline for that to matter. 5. **You own the customer relationship.** Not a franchise on corporate's system. FAQ ## COMMON QUESTIONS. #### Why $5,000 instead of $25,000 like agencies quote? + We've already built the hard parts - auth, payments, push, store submission, AR, AI pipelines, watchOS, SaaS data pipelines - across 12+ of our own products. Your app reuses that foundation. Same quality, fraction of the time, fraction of the price. #### How long does it take? + 4-6 weeks from kickoff to App Store approval for a standard build. Add-ons add 1-2 weeks each. Priority Build (2-week) is +$1,000. #### Why $200/month maintenance? + Apps aren't websites. Apple and Google push OS updates twice a year that break them. Push certificates expire. Store policies change. Crash reports need triage. $200/month covers all of it for the first 6 months. Most clients continue. #### Do I own the app? + Yes. Source code is yours. The app lives under your developer accounts. No lock-in - ever. Take it to another developer tomorrow if you want. #### What about App Store rejections? + We handle them. Apple rejected ThrottleShare four times before approval. We fixed every one. Unlimited submission cycles for your first approval - included. #### Do I need Apple Developer and Google Play accounts? + Yes - required for your app to live under your business name. We walk you through setup. Apple is $99/year, Google is $25 one-time - paid directly to them, not us. #### Does an app help my AI search visibility? + Yes - directly. App Store and Google Play listings are indexed by Google, adding a second branded touchpoint. More consistent mentions of your business name across the web means ChatGPT and Perplexity recommend you with more confidence. Stacks on top of SEO, doesn't replace it. #### What if my business is too small? + We'll tell you straight. Fail the fit check - we point you at the $500 website and revisit the app later. We don't sell apps to businesses that don't need them. ## READY TO SHIP IT? Tell us what you're building. Proposal in 24 hours if it's a fit. Straight talk if it's not.
