Native-feeling React Native apps for both stores. Push notifications, offline support, payment integration, and store submission. Live on the App Store and Google Play in 4-6 weeks.
Mobile apps used to cost $50,000-$150,000 to build, and most small businesses ruled them out as enterprise-only. That stopped being true. With React Native, the same codebase ships to both iOS and Android. With AI-assisted development, what used to take a 4-person team six months can now take one developer three weeks. The cost collapsed. The opportunity didn't.
If you have a customer base that comes back regularly — repeat clients, members, students, patients, ride-sharers — an app on their home screen wins. Push notifications convert 5-10× better than email. Loyalty points are 4× more redeemable in an app. Customer retention goes up double-digits when there's an app icon they tap.
B Scanned builds production-ready apps for businesses that don't have a $100K budget — but do have customers worth keeping. Same app you'd get from a real agency. Fraction of the cost. Real timeline.
Two-sided apps (Lawn2Snow-style) with customer + provider sides.
Class booking, check-in, schedule, push reminders.
Loyalty rewards, online ordering, table reservations.
Booking, history, packages, push for last-minute slots.
Patient portal, appointment reminders, intake forms.
Points, perks, members-only offers, push for restocks.
Note: The $399 baseline covers MVP-scope apps (1-3 core flows). Complex apps (marketplaces, payments, multi-tenant) are custom-quoted. Most projects land in the $1,500-$5,000 range — still a fraction of agency pricing.
Email opens at 20%. Push opens at 65%+ — and it's seen in seconds. Your message lands when you need it to.
App users return 3-4× more often than website-only customers. The icon on the home screen is the cheapest retention tool that exists.
Most local competitors don't have an app. Having one puts you visibly ahead — customers tell their friends, "they have an app."
SMS costs $0.01-$0.05 per message. Push notifications are free, forever, and convert better.

The $399 is the baseline for a simple MVP app (think: a branded version of your business, 1-3 core screens, push notifications, basic backend). Most apps grow beyond that scope — and we quote transparently. Even at $3,000, we're still 80-95% cheaper than a typical mobile agency.
Yes — you'll need an Apple Developer account ($99/year) and a Google Play account ($25 one-time). We help you set them up. The accounts stay yours so you own the app in the stores.
60 days of bug fixes free. After that, updates are quoted per scope. Most clients on a monthly maintenance retainer pay $99-$299/mo for ongoing tweaks + new features.
React Native + Expo for the app. Supabase for backend + auth. Square or Stripe for payments. Same stack we used to ship Lawn2Snow.
Yes — we know the review guidelines and design accordingly. First-time approval rate is around 95% for our submissions. If it gets rejected, we fix and resubmit at no charge.
Yes. If you have a Supabase or REST API, the app reads from the same data. Customers see the same bookings/profile/history in app or web.
