Question 1

How long does a typical software project take?

Accepted Answer

Project timelines depend on scope. A focused MVP typically takes 6–10 weeks. A full-featured web application or mobile app usually takes 3–6 months. We provide a detailed estimate after an initial discovery call.

Question 2

What is your pricing model?

Accepted Answer

We work on a project-based (fixed-scope) model for well-defined projects and a time-and-materials model for ongoing development. Engagements typically start at $5,000 for smaller projects and scale based on complexity. Book a discovery call to get a tailored estimate.

Question 3

Do you work with non-technical founders?

Accepted Answer

Yes — a significant portion of our clients are first-time founders or business owners with no technical background. We handle the full technical side and communicate in plain English throughout every project.

Question 4

What technologies do you build with?

Accepted Answer

We work across the modern stack: React, Next.js, and React Native for web and mobile; Node.js and Python for backends; PostgreSQL and MongoDB for data; AWS, GCP, and Vercel for infrastructure. For AI products, we integrate Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini and build RAG pipelines and custom agents.

Question 5

Do you offer ongoing maintenance after launch?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer post-launch support and maintenance packages for all projects we build. We remain a reliable partner well beyond the initial delivery.

Question 6

How is AppsTribe different from hiring freelancers?

Accepted Answer

With freelancers you manage multiple people, coordinate timelines, and handle integration yourself. With AppsTribe you get a single accountable team — development, design, and QA — under one roof. One point of contact, one delivery commitment.

Question 7

Where are you based and do you work remotely?

Accepted Answer

We are based in Chicago, Illinois. We work remotely with clients across the US and internationally, and are available for in-person meetings in Chicago when needed.

Question 8

Can you help validate an idea before we commit to a full build?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We offer lightweight discovery engagements to define scope, technical architecture, and MVP feature sets before committing to a full build. This reduces risk and ensures alignment from the start.
