We design, build, and upload your own app to the Google and Apple store in 30 days
- $3,960 flat, not the $25,000 an agency charges
- On both app stores in 30 days, not four months
- One flat price, zero surprise invoices
- You see the finished app before you pay the balance
- 60 days of bug fixes after launch, on us
A real app. Not a glorified webpage.
Native, fast, and built around how your business runs. The same kind of app the big chains spent a fortune on, sized for Main Street.
- Order ahead or book inOrder ahead and pay at pickup, or book a reservation or appointment, straight from the phone.
- Push notificationsMessage every regular for free. No paying to "boost" a post that nobody sees.
- Loyalty built inDigital punch cards that bring people back, no plastic, no app to download twice.
- Your branding, your nameYour colors, your logo, your icon on the home screen. It's your app, not ours.
Your regulars live on their phones. Get on their home screen.
Reach everyone, free
A push notification lands on every regular's phone. Social media shows your post to a sliver of your followers, then asks you to pay for the rest.
Daily presence
Your icon sits on the home screen next to their bank and their messages. You're part of the routine, not a page they have to go looking for.
They come back more
Order-ahead and loyalty turn a once-a-week customer into a three-times-a-week one. The app pays for itself in repeat visits.
$3,960. Not $25,000.
An app shouldn't cost as much as a used car or take half a year. Here's the same thing, priced for a real local business.
Four steps. You barely lift a finger.
1 · Claim a slot
Tell us about your business and pay $1,000 to lock in a build slot for the month.
2 · We build it
Custom design in your branding, the features you need, on iPhone and Android.
3 · You review
We put the app on your own phone. You tell us what to tweak. We tweak it.
4 · We launch
You sign off on the finished app, pay the $2,960 balance, and we press publish to both stores under your name.
Let's get your app on the home screen.
We take a handful of builds a month so each one gets real attention. Book a quick call and we'll walk through exactly what we'd build for you.
- No commitment until you're ready to start
- You'll talk to a real person, not a chatbot
- We'll tell you honestly if we're not the right fit
Ready when you are.
Pick a time that works and we'll walk through exactly what your app would do. No pressure, no commitment.
$1,000 to start · $2,960 once you approve it · live in 30 days
From deposit to live app in 30 days.
You're busy running the place. So we do the heavy lifting and only need about an hour of your time along the way.
Pick the package that fits.
So you know exactly what your app will do before you pay a cent. Every package is $3,960.
Order & Loyalty
Menu, order-ahead, loyalty card, and free push specials.
Book & Manage
Booking, reminders, one-tap rebooking, and push.
Shop & Promote
Catalog, offers, loyalty, and push new arrivals.
Your 30 days start the day Apple and Google clear your developer accounts. That verification is the one step on their schedule, not ours, and it usually takes a few days. We get you submitted on day one, and the moment both stores give the green light, the build clock starts. From there, it's 30 days to live.
You lock in your build
Pick the package that fits your business, tell us a bit about it, and pay the $1,000 deposit to reserve a slot for the month. We send a short questionnaire to gather your logo, colors, and menu or service list, and kick off your Apple and Google account setup the same day so verification is already moving.
We build the whole thing
Custom design in your branding, the features we agreed on, working on both iPhone and Android. We handle the App Store and Google Play setup with you so nothing stalls at the finish line.
You try it on your own phone
We send you the real app to use yourself. You tell us what to change, the wording, the photos, the colors, and we make the tweaks. No charge for getting it right.
~20 min of your timeYou approve it, then it goes live
Once the stores approve your app and you've had your final look, the $2,960 balance is due. The moment it's paid we press publish, and you're live the same day, under your business name. You never pay the balance on a promise.
You own it, fully
The app and the accounts are yours to keep. Want us to handle updates and changes going forward? There's an optional care plan. Don't want it? The app still works and still belongs to you.
All we need from you: your logo, your menu, and one quick review.
That's the whole ask. A short questionnaire up front, one review near the end, and a few brand details. We don't fill your calendar with status meetings or send you a stack of documents to read. You keep running your business while we build the app.
Promises we put in writing.
Live in 30 days, or we keep working
Once the stores clear your accounts, we build and submit within 30 days. If we miss it, we keep working at no extra cost until your app is live.
60 days, bug-free
Anything breaks in the first 60 days after launch and we fix it free. No tickets, no hourly bills, no runaround.
Never pay on a promise
The balance is due only after you have seen the finished app, approved by both stores. You see it before you pay it.
Store wants changes? On us
If Apple or Google ask for tweaks before they approve, we fix and resubmit free until you are live.
Ready when you are.
Slots fill up. Claim yours and we'll start the clock.
How is this $3,960 and not $25,000?
It's a fair question, and you should ask it. Here's the actual answer, with no smoke and no catch you'll find later.
We build one thing, extremely well
We don't do websites, ad campaigns, logos, and apps. We build apps for local businesses, full stop. Because it's the same proven foundation every time, we're fast and we're not figuring it out on your dime.
Modern tools do in days what used to take months
One codebase now ships to both iPhone and Android. The part of app development that used to be brutally expensive got a lot cheaper in the last few years. We pass that saving on to you instead of pocketing the difference.
No bloated agency overhead
No account managers, no four-month timelines, no twelve-person team billing you by the hour for meetings about meetings. A small, focused crew that ships, so the price reflects the work, not the org chart.
We'd rather build ten than overcharge for one
Flat price, fast turnaround, repeatable. That's the whole model. We make our living on volume and goodwill, not on squeezing every last dollar out of a single project.
What we don't cut: the quality.
Real native apps. Real listings on the App Store and Google Play. Your branding, designed properly. Your code and your accounts, handed to you at the end. We cut the overhead and the timeline, never the thing you're actually paying for.
We keep it simple on purpose, and we only take a few builds a month. If you need a giant custom platform with a backend the size of a delivery startup, we're honestly not your shop, and we'll tell you that on the first call instead of taking your money. What we're great at is a clean, fast, genuinely useful app for a real local business.
Fair price. Real app. No surprises.
What a Main Street app looks like.
Every app is designed around the business, not a template. Here's the kind of thing we build, and how it actually gets used day to day.
Submtr: partnership video calls, in your pocket.
We designed and built the Submtr app from the ground up. A native iPhone and Android app for a B2B outbound company, so their clients can see every partnership video call booked for them, add it to their calendar in one tap, and reach their strategist instantly. Brand-matched, built on React Native, and prepped for both app stores.
- Native iOS + Android
- React Native
- Secure login
- Calendar sync
- Push notifications
- Brand-matched
Not a cookie-cutter template with your logo slapped on.
We start from what your business actually does. A bakery needs pre-orders and a Saturday drop alert. A gym needs a class schedule and reservations. A salon needs booking and reminders. You get the features that fit, and nothing you'd never use.
- Your real menu, services, and prices
- Your colors, photos, and logo throughout
- Only the features your business needs
The kind of app we'd build for you.
The cafe, salon, and gym are example builds that show what's possible. Submtr above is a real one. Your app would be designed from scratch for your business.
Picture your shop, with an app.
Tell us what your business does and we'll show you what we'd build.
Pick your package.
One flat price.
Three packages built around what your business actually does. Each one custom, on both stores, live in 30 days. Every package is $3,960.

Need more than the package? Add it on.
Clearly priced extras, quoted before any work starts. Nothing lands on your bill without you saying yes first.
📋 The one extra cost, and it isn't ours
Apple and Google charge a fee to put any app in their stores. It goes to them, not us, and we set it up with you:
- Google Play: about $25, one time
- Apple App Store: $99 a year
That's the only thing on top of the $3,960, and we're upfront about it so nothing surprises you at launch.
🛠 Want us to keep it fresh? Optional
After launch you can hand off updates, menu changes, and new seasonal features to us with a monthly care plan. Completely optional. Skip it and the app is still 100% yours and keeps working.
Care plan from $99/mo · cancel anytime
The things people ask first.
Do I actually own the app?
What if I need changes after it launches?
How long does it really take?
What if a store rejects the app?
Do I need my own Apple and Google accounts?
My business is a bit unusual. Will it still work?
That's the whole price list.
One number, and most of it isn't due until you've seen the finished app. Ready to start?
Main Street deserves the same tools as the big chains.
Walk into any Starbucks and they'll nudge you to order on the app. The big chains have known for years that an app on your customer's phone means more visits, more loyalty, and a direct line that doesn't cost a thing to use.
The local cafe down the street has every bit as loyal a following, and almost never has the app. Not because they don't want one, but because the people who build apps quoted them $25,000 and four months, and that's the end of the conversation.
We thought there was a better way to approach this. So we built a way to give a real local business a real app in 30 days, for a flat $3,960, and most of it isn't due until they've seen the finished app, ready to go live. No agency overhead, no jargon, no surprise bills.
One thing, done well
We only build apps for local businesses. That focus is exactly why we're fast, affordable, and good at it.
Honest by default
Flat pricing, plain language, and a straight answer if we're not the right fit. We'd rather lose a sale than oversell you.
Fast, on purpose
Thirty days, not a calendar quarter. You get the app while the idea is still exciting, not after you've forgotten you ordered it.
For the little guy
We're rooting for the independent shop, the family restaurant, the one-chair barber. The places that make a street worth walking down.
✅ A great fit if you're a
- →Cafe, restaurant, bakery, or bar
- →Salon, barber, or spa
- →Gym or fitness studio
- →Boutique, shop, or local service
- →Clinic or wellness practice
🚫 Probably not for you if you need
- ×A venture-scale platform or marketplace
- ×A huge custom backend and data pipeline
- ×Something with thousands of users on day one
- ×A multi-year build with a dedicated team
If that's you, we'll happily point you somewhere better.
Hi, I'm Jorge.
I've spent over ten years in sales and software, including running sales for a custom software development company, where I sourced and closed a $750,000 mobile app deal and helped grow the business elevenfold.
Along the way I kept meeting local owners who'd been quoted $25,000 and four months for an app, then walked away with nothing. Main Street Apps is my answer to that. I'm bilingual, I work with every client myself, and I'll treat your app like it's my own.
Let's get your business on the home screen.
Claim a build slot and we'll be in touch within one business day. No commitment until you're ready.

What we do
We design, build, and submit a custom mobile app for your business to the Apple App Store and Google Play, under your own developer accounts.
Price and payment
Each package is $3,960. A $1,000 deposit reserves your build slot and starts the work. The $2,960 balance is due once you have reviewed and approved the finished app and it is ready to publish. We publish as soon as the balance is paid.
The 30-day timeline
Your 30-day build window begins the day Apple and Google clear your developer accounts. That identity check is run by the stores on their own schedule and is outside our control. We submit for it on day one.
Our guarantees
If we fail to build and submit your app within 30 days of your accounts being cleared, your $1,000 deposit is refundable, provided you have given us the materials and feedback we need on time. For 60 days after launch, we fix verified defects in the app we delivered at no charge. This does not cover new features, content changes, or problems caused by changes to third-party platforms, devices, or operating systems, which fall under the optional care plan.
App store approval
Apple and Google decide whether and when an app is approved. If a store asks for changes, we will revise and resubmit at no extra cost until your app is approved. We cannot guarantee their review timelines.
What we need from you
You agree to provide accurate content and branding, to keep your own Apple ($99/year) and Google (about $25, one time) developer accounts active and pay those fees directly to the stores, and to respond to review and feedback requests in a timely way so we can hit the timeline.
Ownership
Once your app is paid in full, the app and the store accounts belong to you. We may show the project in our portfolio and marketing unless you ask us in writing not to.
Optional care plan
After launch you can subscribe to an optional monthly care plan for updates and maintenance. It is optional and you can cancel any time; without it, your app still belongs to you and keeps working.
Cancellation and refunds
Before build work begins, your deposit is refundable. Once we have started building, the deposit is non-refundable except under the 30-day guarantee above.
Liability
We provide the service with care, but to the extent the law allows, our total liability is limited to the fees you have paid us, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Main Street Apps is established. Questions? Email partnerships@mainstreetapps.co.
