Free 45-minute scoping call. 2. A plain-English plan and a fixed price, in about a week. 3. Build in two-week sprints, with a private link to click through after each. 4. Launch, including app store submission. 5. Ongoing care on a monthly plan, or a documented handover. Payments are tied to finished stages. The code, servers, domain and app store accounts are in the client’s name from day one. An NDA is signed before the scoping call on request. AI tools are used for routine work and checks; a named engineer approves everything that reaches customers. ## Common questions ### What does it cost, and how long does it take? It depends on what the app has to do, which is why the estimator above exists and the scoping call is free. Most first versions land between $4,500 and $13,000 USD, with a fixed quote and dates agreed in writing before we start. We do not take on builds under $3,000. ### Are there setup fees or hidden costs? No setup fee. The quote covers the build. What sits outside it is anything billed directly to you by someone else: hosting, domain, SMS credits, app store fees and any paid service your app uses. We list those with rough monthly figures in the scope document so there are no surprises. ### I am not technical. Will I understand what is going on? Yes. Updates are in plain English, and every two weeks you get a private link to click through the real thing. When a decision needs your input, we explain it in terms of cost, time and what customers will notice. ### What if I am not happy with the work? Payments are tied to finished stages, so you are never far ahead of what has been delivered. If a stage is not right we fix it before invoicing it. If you want to stop, you stop: everything built so far is already in your accounts and stays yours. ### Do you use AI to build our app? Yes, as a tool: drafting routine parts, writing tests, and checking changes before a person reviews them. A named engineer approves everything that reaches your customers. We confirm the tools and data settings with you before we start. ### Who owns the app and the accounts? You do, from day one. The code, servers, domain and app store accounts are set up in your name and we work inside them. Nothing needs handing over if we part ways. ### Will you sign an NDA? Yes, and before the scoping call rather than after. Send yours over or ask us and we will send ours. ### You are in the Philippines. How does that work for us? We work on Philippine time, GMT+8. Singapore is on the same clock, and Australia is two or three hours ahead, so most of the working day overlaps and we talk live. The UK overlaps for the first couple of hours of your morning. For the US the project runs mostly in writing, with calls booked for your late afternoon or evening, which is our early morning. Everywhere, there is an update waiting when you start your day and a private link to click through every two weeks. We invoice in USD, and you get an answer within one business day. ## Contact - Email: hello@invokerlabs.dev - Replies within one business day.
