App Store Launch

Services & Pricing

Compare fixed-price App Store launch, rejection rescue, readiness checks and ongoing care.

Scope

What I fix

Review issues I assess before agreeing on the work:

Stacks: Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Cursor, hand-built React. Read the App Store guides

Pricing

Fixed prices, quoted after the free diagnosis

The price is set before work starts and doesn't move unless the scope does. No hourly billing.

Approval-dependent balance, agreed scope

Rescue, Launch and Launch + Polish: the remaining balance is due only when Apple approves. Apple makes the final decision. The Readiness Check is a separate, upfront-paid audit.

Before a deposit, we agree in writing on the app, features, review issues and delivery window covered. Fixes and resubmissions for that scope are included. New features, major backend repairs, business-model changes and newly discovered issues outside that scope need a separate quote and your approval before work starts.

Guarantee

What I stand behind

If Apple still won't approve the app after we've addressed feedback within the agreed scope, you never pay the remaining balance. Cancel for a full refund any time before I start.

What I don't take on

  • Hiding features from the reviewer
  • Working around a terminated developer account
  • Apps with nothing app-like to add
  • Template and spam apps

Covers the guidelines in the written diagnosis. Nobody outside Apple can promise approval.

FAQ

Questions

What do included fixes and resubmissions cover?

Before a deposit, we agree in writing on the app, features, review issues and delivery window covered. Fixes and resubmissions for that scope are included. New features, major backend repairs, business-model changes and newly discovered issues outside that scope need a separate quote and your approval before work starts.

What does the care plan include?

One routine release per month from your supplied, working code, plus up to one hour of minor iOS/SDK compatibility fixes, signing renewals or review replies. Release timing is agreed before you subscribe; unused time does not roll over. New features, major upgrades and backend repairs are quoted separately.

Do I need a Mac?

No. I build and submit the iOS app. You only need an Apple Developer account.

Can you guarantee Apple approves it?

No one can promise Apple's decision. What I can promise: review fixes and resubmissions within the agreed scope are included, and you don't pay the remaining balance until it's approved. If your app has nothing app-like to add, I'll tell you at intake instead of taking your money.

What if you can't take my app, or Apple never approves it?

If your app isn't a fit, I tell you at intake and you pay nothing; I only take a deposit after we've agreed on scope. You can cancel for a full refund any time before I start work. Once I've started, the deposit covers the work done, and if Apple still won't approve the app after we've worked through its feedback, you never pay the remaining balance.

Is the rejection diagnosis really free?

Yes. Send your app link and paste Apple's rejection message. Within one business day I'll tell you what the rejection means, what the fix involves, and the fixed price to do it. No payment details, no obligation.

Can I start smaller?

If your app has never been submitted, the $250 Readiness Check reviews it against the guidelines Apple rejects AI-built apps for, with a ranked fix list, draft reviewer notes and a short call. Fix it yourself, or book Launch within 30 days and the $250 comes off the price.

Do I have to rebuild my app?

No. Your iOS app is built from the code you already have. Your backend, including Lovable Cloud, stays where it is.

Can I keep building in Lovable?

Yes. Your Lovable project stays the source of truth. Depending on how the app is built, some changes show up on the iPhone right away; others need a new build and review, which can be scheduled within the care plan allowance. Larger changes are quoted separately.

How long does it take?

Usually one to two weeks, and most of that is waiting on your Apple account and Apple's review. Apple reviews most submissions within two days.

What if my app wasn't built in Lovable?

Apps from Bolt, v0, Replit, Cursor or a hand-built React site work the same way. If it runs as a web app, it can usually become an iOS app.

Who is doing the work?

I am, personally. I'm a senior UX designer, and I research, design, build and ship my own apps. Two of them, Beles and EBT Finder, are live on the App Store.
