Questions, answered
The things people ask us first.
How much does an app cost in the UK?
It depends on what the app does, but most of ours land between £8,000 and £30,000. A launch-ready foundation starts from £4,500, and a focused first version (an MVP) from £8,000. On our first call we will give you a realistic range for your idea, not a vague brochure figure.
How long does it take?
A launch-ready foundation takes 2 to 4 weeks. A starter app is usually 4 to 6 weeks, and bigger builds run longer. You get a timeline with your quote, and if we are late because of us, you get 5% off.
Do I need to be technical?
Not at all, and most of our clients are not. That is the point. You bring the idea and the knowledge of your business. We handle every technical decision and explain things in plain English.
Who owns the app?
You do, fully. The code, the designs and your Apple and Google accounts all belong to you the moment you have paid. It is yours to keep, sell or move. We never hold anything hostage.
Do you use AI?
We use AI tools where they genuinely help, and they are good at speeding up code. But we do not let them design your product. AI cannot sit with your customers or judge what matters to them. That human judgement is the part you are paying for.
What happens after launch?
We do not disappear. The first 30 days of bug fixes are free, and a care plan from £150 a month keeps things running and improving. You will always have a real person to talk to, usually the same working day.
