Pricing & terms

No six-figure invoice at the end of this conversation.

Xntric Designs is built around a simple idea: you shouldn't have to write a six-figure check just to see if your app idea works. Instead of charging large upfront development fees, we work on a shared upside model.

Our model at a glance

  • No upfront development fees.
  • We design, build, launch, and maintain your app.
  • Profits are shared 50/50 — between you and Xntric Designs.

A typical custom mobile app build costs anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars upfront — plus ongoing retainers for maintenance and improvements. With Xntric Designs, we take full responsibility for the build and long-term care.

Revenue-generating consumer apps

For apps that earn money directly — paid downloads, subscriptions, or in-app purchases — the standard model is a 50/50 share of net profits between you and Xntric Designs.

🔗

Companion or business apps

If the app is free to users and acts as a companion to your existing services, we'll discuss how the app creates value — retention, engagement, lead generation — and agree on a structure that makes sense for both sides.

⚙️

Complex or support-heavy apps

For apps that are mission-critical or require higher-touch support, we may add specific terms around support expectations and response times — ensuring the partnership is sustainable for both sides.

Partnership terms — plain language.

These terms describe how our partnership works. A formal written agreement will include additional details, but this gives you a clear overview.

Ownership of the idea
You own the concept, the brand, and the product direction. Xntric Designs owns the implementation and technical assets required to build, maintain, and evolve the app.
Revenue or value share
For revenue-generating apps, net profits are split 50/50. For companion or business apps, we'll align on a compensation model that reflects the value the app creates for your business.
Support expectations
We define how critical the app is, how users get help, and what reasonable response times look like. Complex or support-heavy apps may include additional terms.
Product decision-making
You act as the product manager — prioritizing features, shaping direction, and making decisions. Xntric Designs advises on feasibility, complexity, and technical tradeoffs.
Maintenance & updates
Xntric Designs provides ongoing updates, bug fixes, improvements, and platform compatibility work so the app continues to function smoothly across new iOS versions.
App Store presence
Apps are typically published under an Xntric Designs or Xntric LLC developer account for operational simplicity, unless we mutually agree otherwise.

Note: The details above are an overview, not a contract. A formal written agreement will define the exact revenue share, responsibilities, and any app-specific requirements before development begins.
