Real native iPhone apps for small businesses, published to the App Store under your name, with Android included from the same build. Booking, ordering, loyalty, member accounts, field tools. Most apps ship in about four weeks for a price that used to cover an agency's discovery phase.
An app earns its place on a customer's phone when they come back weekly: booking a class, ordering food, checking a schedule, collecting rewards, or looking at work you are doing for them. If your customers touch you once a year, a great website serves them better, and we will tell you that in the first conversation instead of selling you an app you do not need.
What most owners get quoted for an app is agency pricing: five figures before design starts, then a monthly retainer that assumes a team. That pricing exists because agencies staff apps like software projects from 2015. We build with AI, review everything by hand, and publish through the same App Store process the agencies use. The result costs less than most businesses spend on a used espresso machine.
You get a native app, not a website wrapped in an icon. Push notifications, camera, offline behavior, and the feel people expect when they tap something on an iPhone. Android ships from the same build, so you are in both stores without paying twice.

Three ways to get an app. The differences are cost, ownership, and what happens after launch.
| SYSTALOG | App agency | No-code builder | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Native iOS and Android | Yes, one build | Yes | Usually a web wrapper |
| Typical cost to launch | $650 to $1,000 | $15,000 to $80,000 | $0 up front, per-user fees forever |
| Time to the App Store | About 4 weeks | 3 to 6 months | Fast, if it fits their blocks |
| After launch | $60 a month, changes included | Retainer or hourly | Fees rise with users |
| Who owns it | You do | Usually you | You rent the platform |
Tell us what your customers should be able to do from their phone. You get a flat quote, a realistic timeline, and a straight answer if an app is the wrong tool.
Here, typically $650 to $1,000 to build and launch, then $60 a month for hosting, updates, and support. Agencies quote the same scope at fifteen to eighty thousand dollars. The difference is process, not scope: AI does the heavy lifting and a small team reviews everything.
Usually yes, and with us it is not a second project. Both apps come from one build, so you are in the App Store and Google Play for the same flat price. If your customers are overwhelmingly on one platform we can start there.
Apps get rejected for guideline violations and for feeling like empty shells, not for coming from small businesses. We have shipped through App Store review before, we know the guidelines, and we handle the review process including any resubmissions. It is part of the build, not your problem.
Then we will say so. Plenty of businesses are better served by online booking on their website for a third of the price. Start with the free assessment or just describe the problem on the contact page, and you will get an honest recommendation either way.
You do, entirely. The app is published under your developer account, the code is yours, and your customer data is exportable at any time. If you ever leave, everything goes with you.
