Pricing Questions
Everything you need to know about working with Appolo Intelligence.
Off-the-shelf software is built for the average business. Custom software is built for yours. The development cost is almost always lower than the cumulative cost of workarounds, manual bridging between tools, and adapting your processes to fit software that wasn't designed for how you operate. Most clients recover the investment within 12–18 months.
Yes. Standard projects are billed in milestones: 40% at project start, 30% at design and prototype approval, 30% on delivery. Larger engagements can be structured with additional milestone payments. We accept bank transfer and major payment methods.
Third-party software subscriptions, hosting infrastructure costs, and licensed APIs are separate. We'll identify and estimate all third-party costs upfront before you commit — no surprises. We also offer ongoing development retainers for continued feature development post-launch.
Yes — most clients move onto a monthly development retainer after launch for feature additions, integrations, and continuous improvement as the business grows. Retainers start from $3,000/month for a dedicated allocation of engineering time.
