A Better Way to Price Ecommerce Hybrid App Development: Performance-Based Pricing

When it comes to launching a mobile app for your ecommerce business, pricing models can be confusing and often intimidating. Traditional app development agencies charge high upfront development costs, followed by ongoing maintenance fees, updates, and support retainers — all regardless of how well the app actually performs.


At Apparati, we do things differently...


A New Approach to App Development Pricing


We’ve built a pricing model around what really matters: your success.

Our ecommerce hybrid app pricing is largely based on performance and usage, not static fees. That means:


  • A low monthly fixed fee to cover basic infrastructure,

  • No hidden development or maintenance costs, and

  • Tiered pricing based on how often your app is used and how well it performs in terms of sales.


In other words: we only grow if you grow.

This makes the decision to launch your ecommerce mobile app with Apparati a low-risk, high-reward opportunity.


How Our Pricing Model Works


Rather than front-loading your investment with expensive development charges, we minimize your upfront costs and instead align our success with yours. Here's how:


  • Low Fixed Monthly Fee
    Just enough to cover hosting, infrastructure, and app store presence.


  • Usage-Based Pricing
    Fees scale with how often your app is used — reflecting the value it's delivering to your business.


  • Performance-Based Pricing
    Our tiered model rewards both of us when the app drives real sales. We only earn more when your app contributes to revenue.


Why This Matters to You


Unlike traditional agencies, we’re not just selling you an app — we’re partnering with you to build a sales channel that performs.


By pricing based on app usage and sales impact, we have a direct incentive to help you succeed. The better your app performs, the more value you get — and only then do our fees increase. This creates a truly aligned partnership, not just a transactional relationship.

Aligned Interests = Better Outcomes


Our model ensures that we’re not just building an app and handing it over — we’re continually working to help it succeed. From ongoing improvements to conversion tracking, performance analytics, and in-app engagement features, we’re in it with you for the long haul.

When your app gets used, when it drives conversions, and when your mobile revenue grows — that’s when we grow too.


This performance-aligned pricing isn’t just a business model — it’s a reflection of our confidence in our product, our commitment to your success, and our belief that mobile apps should deliver measurable results.


If you’re tired of paying for tech that doesn’t perform, let’s talk. With Apparati, you’re not just buying an app — you’re unlocking a new revenue-generating sales channel with a partner who has skin in the game.
