App Assist
I get your app into the store.
Then I charge
you less.
Weekly one-to-one calls, hands-on help through the parts that are blocking you, and a version one small enough to actually finish.
$249/month
while we ship
$50/month
once it's live
The day you send me a link to your app in the store, it drops — and stays there for as long as you want it.
Both stores. A real listing a stranger can find and install — that's the finish line, and it's the only one that counts.
That isn't a discount. It's the point.
Getting an app over the line is heavy work — weekly calls, me inside your codebase, submissions and rejections and resubmissions. Keeping a live app running is not. So the two shouldn't cost the same.
It also means our incentives point the same way. I'd rather be paid to finish than paid to linger, and this is the only pricing I know of that says so out loud.
The one condition: it's a real store link, on a real listing that a stranger can install. Not TestFlight, not “submitted”. Live.
How it actually runs
Month one
The assessment
I read what you've got and we get on a call. You come away with a written plan: what's actually blocking this, what I'd cut from version one, and the shortest route to something a stranger can install.
The cutting is usually the valuable part, and usually the part people argue with me about.
Every week after
We work
A call every week against the plan, and messages in between. Some weeks that means me in the codebase myself — the auth, the deployment, the signing, the store configuration, the reply to the rejection. Whatever gets it moving.
The things that take me two hours and take you two weeks.
Month three
We check it honestly
If it isn't working — wrong scope, wrong moment, wrong fit — I'll say so and we'll end it.
I'd rather lose the subscription than take your money while nothing moves.
What's in it
Expo · React Native · Supabase — the code stays yours.
This works if…
- You have something built, and it stalled.
- You want it live in a store, not perfect.
- You'll do the work between calls.
- You can hear “that isn't version one” without flinching.
It doesn't if…
- You'd rather not touch the code at all. That's a Studio Build — I write it, you don't. Still a perfectly good answer.
- You're at the idea stage. There's nothing yet to unblock.
- The app needs deep expertise in something exotic I'd have to learn on your money.
Tell me where it stalled.
A short call, and I'll be straight with you about whether this is worth either of our time. Pick a time on the right — it opens right here, no new tab.
App Assist is a monthly membership — it's covered by the terms of service.
