Distribution is now the moat.So why are you spending a single second on the product?

Then I tell you on the kickoff call and refund your deposit in full, same day. That is the whole answer. You are not buying a negotiation — if what you want cannot be built properly in the time, I would rather return the money than ship you something broken on day 14. Most ideas fit once we cut to one core feature. Some do not.

The deliverables on this page, at the price on this page, submitted to the App Store within two weeks of the kickoff call. Your deposit is your agreement to a frozen scope — that gets written down on the kickoff call and neither of us moves it after. Booking the call costs nothing, but be clear on the order: the deposit is taken at the start of that call, and we scope your build after. If what we then write down cannot be built in two weeks, I say so on the same call and refund you in full that day.

You own the app and everything your business runs on: the App Store listing, the Apple Developer account, the RevenueCat account, your API keys, your users, and the product itself. All of it is in your name from day one — nothing about your business depends on my goodwill. What is not included by default is the source repository. I maintain the codebase, which is what lets me fix and extend it fast. Full source transfer is available as a paid add-on — ask at kickoff and I will quote it. If you want the repo in your hands from the start, tell me before you pay, because it changes the price.

Yes, and it needs to be yours, not mine — $99/year, paid directly to Apple. Your app should live under your company name. If you do not have one, we set it up together on the kickoff call. Note that Apple can take a few days to verify a new organization account, so start it early if you can.

I handle the rejection and resubmit, included, no extra charge. Be clear on what the guarantee covers though: it covers submission within two weeks, not Apple's approval. Apple's review queue and their decisions are not something I or anyone else can promise on a timeline.

Show up to the kickoff call knowing what your app does in one sentence and what the one core feature is. Then: your Apple Developer account, your logo if you have one, and a batch of revision notes on day 12. That is it. You do not need to write a spec, understand the stack, or make technical decisions.

One user-facing job the app does end to end. An AI chat that answers questions in your niche. A workout logger with progress history. A habit tracker with streaks and reminders. What it is not: a chat feature AND a social feed AND a marketplace. If you are describing three things, we pick one at kickoff and the other two become V2.

You do, from day one and every month after. The accounts are opened in your name, the keys are yours, and the bills go to your card — I never resell you infrastructure or mark it up. For a typical AI app that means an OpenAI or Anthropic key, a Supabase project, and RevenueCat (free until you pass $2,500/mo in tracked revenue). At launch volume, expect roughly $20 to $100/month total. Now the part that actually bites founders: AI inference cost scales with usage, so every active user costs you money whether or not they ever subscribe. A free user who hammers your feature is a bill. That is exactly why the paywall ships before launch instead of after, and why price testing is wired in — you need margin per user, not just downloads. On the kickoff call I will show you the per-user cost math for your specific feature before you spend a dollar, so you can price above it.

Design direction is locked at kickoff — you bring reference apps you like, we agree on the look before a line of code is written. Day 12 is your revision round for everything you want changed. What day 12 is not is a redesign: if you decide in week two that you want a completely different visual direction, that is V2 work.

On delivery — when the app is submitted to the App Store. Not before. If I miss the two-week deadline, you do not owe the balance and your deposit comes back.

You own a live app with a working subscription behind it, and this engagement is finished. Anything further — a second feature, changes once you see real user data — gets scoped and quoted separately at that point. There is no ongoing commitment attached to this purchase and nothing auto-renews.

Because the scope is small enough to be honest about, and because I run this exact setup myself — a live AI subscription app with 180 active subscriptions that collected $4,149 in the last 28 days. The onboarding, the RevenueCat paywall, the analytics, the App Store submission: those are not research projects for me, they are the parts I have already built and debugged. The two weeks go into your feature, not into me learning subscriptions.
