Pricing

Directional ranges, clear ownership, no fake fixed prices.

Appxecutive publishes planning ranges so buyers can sanity-check fit before a call. Final proposals follow scoping. App Rescue starts with a Blueprint.

Tiers

How Appxecutive projects are typically scoped

Directional planning ranges, not binding quotes. Final proposal follows scoping.

Blueprint

usually $2.5K to $8K

Operators with a real pain point who need clarity, scope, and a buildable plan before committing to a system.

Workflow and stakeholder map
MVP scope and data model
Pattern fit recommendation
Directional pricing range
Risk and assumption review
Launch plan outline

Timeline: usually 1 to 3 weeks

Starter System

usually $6K to $18K

Single-workflow apps built on a proven Appxecutive pattern, replacing one fragmented process.

One pattern adapted to your workflow
Core data model and admin surface
Up to two primary integrations
Operator documentation
Launch handoff

Timeline: usually 3 to 6 weeks

Growth System

usually $18K to $45K

Multi-workflow operating systems that consolidate several tools or programs into one operator surface.

Two or more patterns combined
Admin console and roles
Multiple integrations
Reporting and renewal evidence
Operator and stakeholder docs
Post-launch stabilization window

Timeline: usually 6 to 12 weeks

Platform Build

usually starts around $35K

Multi-tenant, multi-market, or licensable platforms intended to serve more than one organization.

Multi-tenant or multi-market architecture
Licensing and partner considerations
Extended data model and roles
Integration strategy
Operator and partner documentation
Phased rollout plan

Timeline: usually 10 weeks or more, phased

Care Plan

usually starts at $750/mo

Post-launch operators who want a known person responsible for changes, fixes, and small improvements.

Monthly improvement and fix window
Priority response on issues
Light reporting and check-ins
Roadmap input

Timeline: month to month

Blueprint precedes most Starter, Growth, and Platform engagements and is not shown above.

Ownership

Built to be owned, not rented forever

Ownership terms depend on project type and the signed agreement. Appxecutive favors clear handoff, documentation, source access, domain clarity, and operational continuity so buyers are not trapped in fragile or undocumented systems.

Custom builds typically include source access, documentation, and deployment handoff as specified in the agreement. Licensed Appxecutive patterns remain licensed, not assigned. Any third-party software, API, hosting, SMS, mapping, payment, or AI usage fees are listed separately before work starts.

Clear source and handoff expectations on custom builds
Licensed patterns remain licensed, not assigned
Documentation for operators
Domain and account clarity
Third-party fees listed separately
Post-launch support options
No fake lock-in claims

Scope assumptions

What ranges assume

Ranges assume one organization, one primary workflow per tier definition, and a responsive point of contact.
Third-party fees (hosting, SMS, mapping, payments, email, AI usage) are listed separately and billed at cost or pass-through.
Content, copy, brand assets, and source data are provided by the buyer unless otherwise scoped.
Scopes that require legal, compliance, accessibility audit, or enterprise security review are quoted separately.
Material scope changes during a project are handled as a written change request, not absorbed silently.

Support

Post-launch support options

Stabilization window: included on Starter, Growth, and Platform builds for a defined period after launch.
Care Plan: ongoing monthly engagement for changes, fixes, and small improvements.
Project-based follow-ups: scoped as a new Blueprint or Starter when the work is substantial.
No forced retainers. Buyers may operate independently after handoff.

App Rescue

For broken, fragmented, or stalled builds

Starts with Blueprint to assess what exists, what works, and what needs to be rebuilt or replaced.
Lands in Starter, Growth, or Platform depending on what scoping uncovers.
Common rescue scenarios: broken no-code build, fragmented SaaS stack, spreadsheet-bound process, half-built AI project, abandoned vendor system.
Output includes a rebuild plan, migration approach, workflow consolidation, and documentation so the buyer is not trapped again.

Pricing questions

What buyers usually ask about pricing

Are these prices binding quotes?: No. Ranges are directional planning numbers based on past projects. A binding proposal is issued after scoping.
Why ranges instead of fixed prices?: Scope, integrations, data quality, and operational complexity vary by project. Ranges set realistic expectations without pretending every project is identical.
What is included in the Blueprint?: A workflow and stakeholder map, MVP scope, data model, pattern fit recommendation, directional pricing range, risk review, and launch plan outline. It is buildable by Appxecutive or by another team.
Do I own what is built?: Custom builds typically include source access, documentation, and deployment handoff as specified in the agreement. Licensed Appxecutive patterns remain licensed, not assigned. Third-party fees are listed separately.
What if my project is an App Rescue?: It starts with a Blueprint to assess the current state, then lands in Starter, Growth, or Platform depending on what is uncovered. Migration and documentation are part of the work, not an afterthought.
How does Care Plan work?: A month-to-month engagement for changes, fixes, and small improvements after launch. It is optional. Buyers may also operate independently after handoff.
How do I start?: Use the contact buttons on this page. Each opens an email to dustinpeyser@gmail.com pre-filled with a relevant subject line.
