From your idea to a real app.
Start in minutes. Launch with confidence.

See your idea free in minutes, then choose: a ready-made app on a monthly plan, or an app designed for you that you fully own.

November offerEnds November 30

Your app this month at half price

Book your project before the end of November and we build it at half price, with the same engineer, the same quality and the same written terms.

For a limited number of projects, because one engineer leads each one.

  • Custom apps at half price: from $2,450 instead of $4,900
  • The monthly app with no setup fee ($499)
  • Your price is fixed for your project, even if the build starts in December

In return, we ask for three things: We show your app as an example on our site · A few words from you after launch · A short call to tell us what to improve. Your price is booked when you ask for the monthly app or pay for the prototype before November 30.

Special offer

A WhatsApp bot with every app
Answering your customers from day one.

It answers prices, opening hours, delivery and bookings on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger, from the same information as your app, and hands the chat to your team when needed. Your engineer sets it up with the app.

Up to 1,000 replies a month; we tell you before you reach the limit. It needs a number that isn’t registered on the WhatsApp app, and we help you set one up.

Monthly appAlways included
Starter3 months free
Growth6 months free
Advanced12 months free
Then $49 a month, or switch it off any time.

AI makes you a demo.
We make you an app on the stores that takes payments, with an engineer who answers if it stops.

Building it yourself with AI
  • A web version to show
  • Store submission is on you
  • Payments and Arabic are on you
  • If it breaks, you are on your own
With Lumkaro
  • An iPhone and Android app
  • We submit it to the stores for you
  • Payments and Arabic done right
  • An engineer who answers you

We use AI too, which is why we deliver in days and cost less than an agency. The difference is that an engineer reviews every screen and stays responsible.

What does $99 a month cover?

DevelopmentSetting up the sample with your content, then 3 hours of changes from your engineer every month (text, photos, prices, sections). Unused hours carry over to the next month. New features are quoted separately.
HostingUp to 2,000 active users and 10 GB of files a month, with a daily backup. No surprise bills: we tell you before you reach the limit.
OwnershipThe app’s name, the store accounts and your customer data are yours. The code and servers are ours during the plan. Buy it outright for $1,990 after 12 months, or $990 after 24 months.
CancellingAfter 12 months, with 30 days’ notice. The app keeps working until the end of the last paid month, then comes off the stores. You can export your customer data free at any time.

First year: $1,188 with no setup fee · Ask for the monthly app

Pricing questions

What’s the difference between the instant sample and the prototype?

The instant sample is free: a quick AI picture of your idea in minutes, with no changes. The prototype ($399) is built by an engineer in 1–2 working days; you tap through its screens and get two rounds of changes. Neither is the real app.

Can I move from the monthly app to a custom build?

Yes, any time. We credit the $499 setup fee toward the custom app.

Who do I talk to during the project?

Your engineer, directly, on WhatsApp or email, from the first message until after launch.

What if I need one feature from a bigger size?

Your engineer adds it for a small quote, instead of moving you to the whole size.
