Mobile apps for Australian businesses, without the agency price tag
One codebase, both app stores, built lean around the job your customers or staff actually need to do. From $5,900 +GST with store submission included. Care plan from $85 a month +GST, optional.
When you need an app rather than a website
Most businesses do not need an app; a fast mobile website does the job. You need an app when people use it often, need it offline, need push notifications, or need the camera, GPS or a login that stays signed in. Think staff on site logging jobs, members booking classes, or customers reordering weekly.
If a website would serve you better, we will say so on the first call.
What you get
A focused app, built once, shipped to both stores.
- React Native: one codebase for iOS and Android
- App Store and Google Play submission handled, including listings and screenshots
- AWS serverless backend in Sydney with secure login and data storage
- Push notifications
- Connections to your existing systems where they have an API
- The app and its store accounts in your name
Scope, stated plainly
The $5,900 starting price buys a lean, focused app: one core job done well, a handful of screens, login, notifications and a backend. It is not a $50,000 agency app with every feature on the wish list, and it is not meant to be. We build the version people will use, ship it, then add to it from real feedback.
Process
Scope: a call and a one-page brief covering who uses the app and the one thing it must do. We return a fixed price.
Build: two to six weeks depending on scope, with test builds on your own phone along the way.
Launch: we submit to both stores, handle review feedback and go live. Store fees (Apple $149 a year, Google $39 one-off, approximately) are paid by you and are separate.
Examples
The kinds of apps that fit this model.
- A field app for tradespeople to log jobs, photos and time on site, syncing to the office
- A booking and loyalty app for a clinic, studio or salon
- A reorder app for wholesale customers, connected to your accounting system
- An internal app for staff checklists, inductions and incident reports

Questions, answered
Both iOS and Android?
Yes. React Native builds both from one codebase, so you get both stores for one price and every update ships to both at once.
How long does it take?
Two to six weeks to a store-ready build depending on scope, plus app store review, which usually takes a few days. You get test builds on your own phone throughout.
Do I own it?
Yes. The app, its backend and the store listings are in your name. If you move to another developer later, everything comes with you.
What are the store fees?
Apple charges a developer account fee of about $149 a year and Google a one-off fee of about $39. These are billed by Apple and Google to your own accounts and are not included in our price.
How are updates handled?
On the care plan we keep the app working with new iOS and Android releases, monitor the backend and make small changes each month. Without a care plan, updates are quoted as needed.
Can it connect to my systems?
Yes, where they have an API. Accounting, CRM, booking and job management systems are common. We confirm the connection in scoping before you commit.

A 15-minute call is enough to scope most projects and give you a price.
