Hire an app developer who starts from your rough idea: AttainSoft builds a hosted prototype from $199, a private MVP from $1,999, or a custom production build, each with a written scope. The prototype and private MVP help you validate the idea; public commercial launches are scoped separately.
When you hire someone to build an app, you should know what the first stage includes, what it costs to start, and what is not included. That is how we write it down: a clear job, a clear price and a clear limit for each stage.
Bring the problem, the workflow and who it's for. Writing the spec is part of the mapping work, and you can start without designs.
Validate the idea with a demo people can click, not a slide deck they have to imagine.
We list the features with you, rate each one simple or complex, and quote from that list. You approve it in writing before any payment.
One company for the whole path: a prototype, a private MVP, and a custom production build, each stage quoted on its own.
Bring the audience and the problem, plus whatever you already have: rough flows, brand or design references, the interactions you care about most. We shape that into one main journey worth building first, and your agreed scope is written down before work starts.
Prototype from $199, private MVP from $1,999, and a custom quote for production. Prices start at those amounts and grow with the number of features and how complex they are. Each stage says plainly what works and what is simulated.
The prototype is hosted by AttainSoft while you refine it and during preservation after sign-off; a private MVP runs in a private hosted environment. Every screen and document is written in English and Spanish from the start. Ownership, hosting and transfer terms are agreed in writing before work starts.
The problem, who it's for, and what you want people to be able to do. We scope one main journey worth building first.
We list the features with you and quote the build and the weekly fee from that list. Ownership, hosting and transfer terms are agreed in writing too, and stated in your quote.
You get a hosted, clickable experience, up to five screen templates on the prototype, not a document to interpret.
Walk customers, partners or investors through it, with one consolidated revision round a week while you refine. Move to a private MVP and then a production product when you are ready. Each stage is quoted separately.
| Stage | What you decide | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Prototype: from $199, then from $49/week while refining | The idea, who it's for, and the one main journey worth building first. | A hosted, clickable experience with up to five screen templates, on simulated flows and sample data. One consolidated revision round per week while you refine. |
| Private MVP: from $1,999, then from $299/week after the build | Which core journeys should really work, and who is in the invited group. | Working software with limited scope and access, in a private hosted environment. What is real and what is simulated is labeled in the order. |
| Production: custom quote | The written scope, the launch plan, and the operating and support plan. | A production build for real customers, with launch and ongoing responsibilities explicitly scoped. |
| Changes along the way | A new feature, or a changed core journey. | Quoted separately, as its own piece of work. |
Prices are USD starting prices; each quote depends on the number of features and their complexity. Full terms, including cancellation, ownership and hosting limits, are agreed in writing before work starts.
The audience and the problem, plus whatever you already have: rough flows, brand or design references, and the interactions you care about most. You don't need a spec or designs to start. We shape what you bring into one main journey worth building first, and the agreed scope is written down before work starts.
A prototype starts at $199 for the build and first review, plus from $49/week while refining, which starts when the first version is delivered; after sign-off, preservation is $49/month from the next renewal. A private MVP starts at $1,999 plus from $299/week after the build. Production has a custom quote. Prices grow with the number of features and their complexity, and final terms are agreed before work starts.
You own the code and designs we make for you. Your build runs on the shared foundation behind Attain OS, which AttainSoft keeps and licenses to you for as long as we host your build. You can cancel with 30 days' notice. Within 30 days we export your code and data to you, and after the export we delete the hosted copy. These terms are written into your quote before work starts.
Yes, and most people do. The prototype is a hosted, clickable experience built on simulated flows and sample data, so you can see it, refine it and show it. Each stage is scoped and quoted on its own, so the private MVP and production are separate decisions for later.
Describe the problem and who it is for. We will come back with the stage worth starting with and what it would include.
