Fixed prices. Pick a platform.
A focused v1, designed and built by one person and shipped to the store. iOS, Android, or both. The price changes with the platform; everything that comes in the box (below) stays the same.
Android app
The same build aimed at Google Play. React Native + Expo, a Firebase backend, and an internal-testing build you can install on a real device from the first week.
Ships to the Play Store
Key features
- Play Store submission, start to live
- Internal-testing builds every week
- Built for Android phones
iOS app
Your idea designed, built, and submitted to the App Store. One React Native + Expo codebase, a Firebase backend, and a TestFlight build on your phone inside the first week.
Ships to the App Store
Key features
- App Store submission, start to approval
- TestFlight builds every week
- Built for iPhone (iPad-ready on request)
iOS + Android
One codebase, both stores. This is the whole point of React Native: build once, ship to iPhone and Android together. $400 less than buying the two on their own.
Ships to both stores
Key features
- App Store and Play Store submission
- Weekly builds for both platforms
- One shared codebase, two listings
Android app
- App Store submission
- Play Store submission
- Built for iPhone
- Built for Android phones
- One shared codebase, two listings
- Tappable prototype in week one
- Weekly builds you can install
- Design done in-house
- Firebase backend, per-user rules
- Cloud Functions for sensitive work
- AI features wired in (OpenAI)
- Subscriptions via RevenueCat
- Privacy, terms, and support hosted
- You own every account and the code

Building both is one shared React Native codebase, which is why it costs less than two separate apps. Prices cover a focused v1; unusually large scope gets quoted upfront before any work starts.
What every build includes.
Same spec whichever platform you pick. This is the full job, not a starter tier with the real work hidden behind add-ons.
Design included
I design the app myself. No separate designer, no handoff gaps. Screens, app icon, the lot.
Prototype in a week
One-page brief, then a tappable build on your real phone within the first week. Short weekly drops after that.
Firebase backend
Auth, Firestore, and Storage, with security rules scoped per user from day one. No open databases.
Sensitive work server-side
Cloud Functions for anything that should not live on a phone: AI calls, account deletion, purchase checks.
AI features
OpenAI wired in where the app actually needs it. Grounded and useful, not bolted on for show.
Subscriptions, if you charge
RevenueCat set up for in-app purchases and subscriptions when the app is paid. Skipped when it is free.
Legal pages, done honestly
Privacy policy, terms, and a support page, hosted for you. Account deletion that genuinely deletes.
You own everything
The Expo project, the Firebase project, and the store listings all sit under your accounts. No lock-in to me.
What does the price actually cover?+
A focused v1: design, the React Native + Expo build, a Firebase backend, the legal pages, and store submission. One reasonable round of revision is in there too. Genuinely heavy scope (real-time multiplayer, a deep AI pipeline, a large multi-role app) gets scoped and quoted separately, and I’ll tell you upfront if your idea is in that bracket.
How does payment work?+
Flat, one-time price. 50% upfront to start, the balance on store submission. No hourly billing, no surprise line items.
How long does a build take?+
A tappable prototype is on your phone within the first week. A typical v1 lands in roughly four to ten weeks depending on how much the app does. You see a new build every week, so nothing is a black box.
Will I own everything?+
Yes. The Expo project, the Firebase project, and the App Store / Play Store listings are all under your accounts. The source is yours.
What about running costs?+
Most apps sit comfortably on Firebase’s free or pay-as-you-go tier. I’ll forecast the monthly infrastructure cost before you commit to anything.
What happens after launch?+
New features, AI experiments, and store updates are ongoing work, handled on a simple monthly retainer. Optional, and easiest to just talk through once v1 is live.
Do you take equity instead of cash?+
Occasionally, for the right project, as part of the mix, not as the whole fee. Easiest to talk it through.
