Custom Apps Designed Around How Your Business Operates
Web apps, Progressive Web Apps, native mobile apps, and custom platforms — planned, built, tested, and managed as a proper software project.
Every app starts from your operations: who uses it, what they need to accomplish, and how it fits the way your business already runs. Tell us what you have in mind and we will recommend the right format before anything is priced or built.
Sending a request is not a quote and does not commit you to anything.

App Discovery & Planning — $150
A short, focused planning engagement that turns an idea into a written scope, so you know what you are building, roughly what it costs, and how it would be delivered before you commit to a project.
Your $150 discovery fee will be credited toward your app project when you approve the proposal and submit the required deposit within 60 days of your completed discovery session.
Discovery includes
- Review of your business idea
- Identification of the intended users
- Feature recommendations
- A recommendation of web app, Progressive Web App, or native app
- Preliminary technical requirements
- An estimated price range
- Proposed development phases
- A written scope or project proposal
From idea to launch, one written step at a time
Step 1: Send your request
Tell us the problem the app should solve, who will use it, and what they should be able to do. Not sure which type you need? Say so.
Step 2: We review and recommend
We read every request and recommend the right format: an app-style website, a Progressive Web App, a business web app, a native app, or a custom platform.
Step 3: Plan it with App Discovery
For most projects we start with paid discovery, which ends in a written scope. Discovery may be waived for simpler requests, and we will tell you which applies.
Step 4: Approve a written proposal
You receive a proposal with the scope, price, phases, and payment milestones. No app development begins until you approve it.
Step 5: Build, review, and launch
We build in phases and you approve a working prototype before the final stretch. Launch or transfer follows final payment.
A clear structure, set out in writing
An app project is never bought from a price list. Your proposal states the scope and the payment milestones, and this is the structure we normally start from.

Need a website instead of an app?
Our website packages are a separate service with their own pricing. Nothing on this page changes them.
Questions about custom apps
It depends on what you need. Projects start at $750 for an app-style website and go up to $10,000 and beyond for custom platforms. Your final price is set in a written proposal after we understand your requirements. There is no automatic checkout for an app project.
App Discovery and Planning costs $150. It is how we turn an idea into a written scope, a price range, and a plan, and we recommend it for most projects. Your $150 discovery fee will be credited toward your app project when you approve the proposal and submit the required deposit within 60 days of your completed discovery session.
It depends on who will use it and what it needs to do. Many businesses are well served by a web app or a Progressive Web App, which install from the browser with no App Store download. A native app makes sense when you need App Store distribution or phone-specific features. If you are not sure, choose I am not sure on the request form and we will recommend a format after reviewing it.
No. Apple and Google control app review and approval, and TruceIt cannot guarantee it. We prepare your submission with their requirements in mind, but the decision is theirs.
You do, unless your written proposal specifically says otherwise. That includes Apple and Google developer accounts, store fees, third-party services, and usage-based services such as text messaging, maps, or payment processing fees.
Additional features or changes outside the approved scope may require a change order. Your written proposal defines exactly what is in scope.
No. A request is not a quote and not an agreement. We review it, recommend a format, and prepare a written scope or proposal. Timelines begin after the agreement, deposit, and required materials are received.
If you choose it. AppCare is an optional monthly plan for hosting oversight, updates, monitoring, and small changes. It is never added automatically, and you authorize it separately from your project.
