How much does it cost to build an app" is a question most studio websites dodge — you fill out a form, wait two days, and get a number that was decided by whoever answered your email that morning. We'd rather just tell you the starting price up front, because a real number you can see before talking to anyone is worth more than a promise that we'll be fair about it later.

starting price
$3,000
A site people visit to read, look, and get in touch — no accounts, no logging in, nothing to "use."
That component imports BASE_SERVICES directly from lib/pricing.ts and reads the price off it — it isn't a number typed into this post by hand. If we ever change what a website starts at, this demo updates the next time the site deploys, automatically, because it's reading the exact same constant /start and our Stripe checkout read.
Why 'starting price' and not 'the price'
The number above is the base — what a Website, Web App, or iOS App costs with nothing added. Almost nothing ships at the base price alone, because real projects need at least a few of what we scope as add-ons: a CMS, e-commerce, user accounts, an admin dashboard, ongoing maintenance. Our actual calculator at /start walks through every add-on individually so the total you see before paying anything is the real total, not the base figure with a surprise waiting at the bottom.
Why show this instead of hiding behind a contact form
A generic "contact us for pricing" isn't neutral — it's a lead-qualification filter that also happens to hide the number from people who'd rather not have a sales conversation before they know if they can afford one. We already run fixed-scope-fixed-price checkout end to end; the number was never a secret internally. The only decision was whether to also say it out loud on the website, and we didn't see a reason not to.
