We're not a dev shop.
We're a product team.

Most app development agencies take your requirements and disappear for six months. We stay close — weekly check-ins, transparent timelines, and a process built around getting you to launch fast without cutting corners.

  • ✓ Strategy before codeWe start with discovery — understanding your users, your goals, and the simplest path to a working product before a single line gets written.
  • ✓ SEO & discoverability built inOur SEO background means your app and its landing pages are built to be found. App Store Optimization (ASO) is part of our launch process.
  • ✓ One team, start to finishNo offshore handoffs. No account managers playing telephone. The team you talk to is the team that builds.
  • ✓ We stay after launchBugs happen. Users evolve. We offer ongoing maintenance and support plans so your app keeps improving after it ships.
🎯
Discovery First
Every project starts with a scoping session to define the MVP, user flows, and success metrics — before any design or code.
⚡
Fast to Market
We scope MVPs aggressively. Get a working, launchable product in weeks — not a year-long project that never ships.
📈
SEO + ASO
App Store Optimization and web SEO are built into every launch — so your app gets found by the people who need it.
🔒
You Own It All
Full IP ownership, access to all source code, and no lock-in. Your app is yours — not held hostage by a vendor.

A process designed
to actually ship.

We've refined this process across dozens of digital products. You'll always know what's happening, what's next, and what it'll cost.

Discovery & Strategy

We dig into your idea, your users, and your goals. We define the MVP feature set, map out user flows, agree on a tech stack, and deliver a project scope with fixed pricing before any work begins.

Featured Project
Field Service Operations App — Louisville-Based Contractor
iOS & Android / Internal Tool
The Problem

A regional contractor was managing 40+ field technicians through a mix of phone calls, text threads, and paper work orders. Jobs were getting lost, invoices were delayed, and there was no real-time visibility into what was happening in the field.

We went from managing chaos with text messages to having a real operations platform. Digado understood our business before they touched the technology — and the result was an app our guys actually use every day.

Everything you're
wondering about.

How much does a custom app cost? +
Every project is scoped individually, but most custom mobile or web apps range from $15,000 to $75,000 depending on complexity, features, and platform. Internal business tools often fall in the $10,000–$30,000 range. We provide a fixed-price quote after discovery — no hourly billing surprises.
How long does it take to build an app? +
A focused MVP typically takes 10–16 weeks from kickoff to App Store launch. Simpler web apps and internal tools can ship in 6–10 weeks. We scope aggressively — our goal is to get you something real and launchable, then iterate from there.
Do I need a separate iOS and Android app? +
Not necessarily. Cross-platform development allows us to build once and deploy to both iOS and Android from a shared codebase — which reduces cost and keeps future updates in sync. We recommend native development only when performance or platform-specific features demand it.
What happens after the app launches? +
We offer ongoing maintenance and support plans that cover OS updates, bug fixes, performance monitoring, and feature additions. You can also take the source code and manage independently — we hand over everything at launch.
Do I own the code and intellectual property? +
Yes — 100%. You own all source code, design assets, and intellectual property from day one. There is no lock-in or licensing fee. The app is yours.
Can you integrate with our existing tools? +
Absolutely. Most apps we build integrate with existing systems — Shopify, Stripe, QuickBooks, Salesforce, HubSpot, custom databases, and more. If it has an API, we can connect to it.
What if I'm not sure what to build? +
Start with a free consultation call. We help clients define their idea, narrow the feature set to what matters most for launch, and identify the right type of app (mobile, web, or internal) for their use case. We'd rather help you think it through first.
Does Digado handle App Store submission? +
Yes — we manage the full submission process for both Apple App Store and Google Play, including screenshots, descriptions, App Store Optimization (ASO), and navigating the review process. We stay on through launch day.
