Mobile App · Calgary

A real mobile app for your Calgary small business — from $399.

iOS + Android, native-feeling React Native, push notifications, app store submission included. Live in 4-6 weeks. Built by the team behind Lawn2Snow.

The economics changed

Mobile apps used to cost $50K+ in Calgary. Now they don't.

Until 2024, building a custom mobile app meant a six-figure enterprise project. iOS dev at $100/hr, Android dev at $90/hr, designer, project manager, 4-6 months of work. The bill landed at $50,000-$150,000. Most Calgary small businesses ruled it out — fairly.

React Native + AI-assisted development collapsed that math. The same codebase ships to both iOS and Android. A solo developer can build what used to require a 4-person team. Same output, 80-95% lower cost.

B Scanned ships production-ready apps to small businesses that have a customer base worth keeping engaged — but don't have a $100K budget. The opportunity is real. Most local competitors don't have an app. Having one puts you visibly ahead.

Calgary case study

Lawn2Snow runs on what we'd build for you.

Lawn2Snow is a Calgary year-round field-service marketplace. We built their iOS app with customer-side booking, provider-side dispatch, Stripe Connect auto-splits, real-time job tracking, push notifications. The whole business — owners, providers, customers — each has their own view in the same app.

Cost: well under what a mobile agency would have quoted. Live in weeks, not quarters. Owner retains 100% of the code and can iterate forever.

Frequently asked

Common questions from Calgary owners.

Can a Calgary small business actually afford a mobile app?

Yes. With React Native + AI-assisted dev, simple branded apps start at $399, most full builds $1,500-$5,000. Compare to enterprise agencies still quoting $50K+.

Will it be on both iOS and Android?

Yes. React Native ships to both stores from one codebase.

Why would my Calgary business need an app?

If you have repeat customers worth engaging. Push converts 5-10× better than email. Loyalty 4× better in app. Customer retention rises double-digits.

How does app store submission work?

We handle it. You provide Apple ($99/year) + Google Play ($25 one-time) accounts. We build, write listing, design icons + screenshots, submit, handle review. 95% first-time approval rate.
