SIMPLE FROM THE START

Know what happens.
Before it happens.

Building an app shouldn't feel like a mystery. You'll see the design, understand the milestones, and know when payments are due before development begins.

FOUR CLEAR STAGES

From idea to App Store.

01 / DISCOVER

Tell us what you're building.

Use the free estimator to describe your app. We'll discuss the key features, platform, and what a sensible first version looks like.

No obligation. Estimates are preliminary.
02 / AGREE

Approve the plan.

You'll receive a written scope, fixed milestones, pricing, and target timeline. Work starts only after we both agree to the terms.

$0 development deposit to start eligible projects.
03 / SEE IT

Review your first design.

We'll create an agreed set of representative screens or a limited interactive prototype. You can review the look and flow before your first invoice.

First milestone payment follows approval.
04 / BUILD & LAUNCH

See it come to life.

We build the agreed functionality, share reviewable milestones, complete testing, and guide you through store submission and handover.

Later payments follow agreed acceptance stages.

HOW PAYMENT WORKS

No deposit.
Visible progress.

We don't ask you to pay simply to reserve a development slot. For eligible, fixed-scope projects, the first invoice comes after you approve the initial design milestone. Each later invoice corresponds to a defined deliverable.

All payment amounts, review periods, and acceptance criteria are agreed in writing before work begins. Any extra features require a separate approved change request.

20% / 40% / 40% is an example, not an automatic offer. Larger or complex projects may require a different structure. Final payment is due before production release and transfer of deliverables, as specified in the agreement.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

We'll guide you through the setup.

You don't need to be technical. Most accounts and materials aren't needed until later in the project.

Developer program fees, taxes, hosting and third-party usage charges are separate from development unless explicitly included in your proposal. Store approval is controlled by Apple and Google, not guaranteed by Stagg Studio.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Good to know.

Clear answers before you commit.

Is the app estimate free?

Yes. The online estimator provides a preliminary range. A final quote follows a review of your actual requirements.

Do I pay anything before seeing the design?

For eligible fixed-scope projects, no development deposit is required. You approve the written agreement first, then review the agreed initial design deliverable before the first invoice.

What if I want changes?

Corrections needed to meet the agreed milestone are handled under its acceptance terms. New features or changes to the agreed scope are priced and approved separately before work begins.

Who owns the finished app?

Your agreement will specify ownership and licensing. Typically, project-specific deliverables transfer after full payment, excluding third-party assets and expressly retained reusable components.

Will you create my developer accounts?

We guide you through registration, but recommend you own the Apple and Google accounts. You can invite us to assist with setup and publishing.

What happens after launch?

We can discuss ongoing maintenance, updates, and support separately. Any continuing fees or service commitments will be clearly stated.
