Mobile app · Android & iOS
A mobile app for your business with Impulso Digital Dorado runs $5,000 to $12,000 USD one time and ships in 6 to 10 weeks: orders, bookings, catalog, customer accounts, push notifications and, if you need them, card payments and offline mode, published on Google Play and the App Store with an admin panel. Scope goes in writing so the price you see is the price you pay.

Who it’s for
Sound familiar?
Every app quote I get is more than my marketing budget for the year.
We publish scope per range: what a $5,000 app does, what $12,000 adds and what pushes it out of range. The proposal lists screen by screen, and what is not written is not billed later.
The price on the website was never the price on the invoice.
That is why the range comes with scope and the proposal with a fixed price and calendar. If you want more mid-way, it is quoted separately and you decide — nothing shows up on the final invoice by surprise.
Do I actually need an app, or is a website enough?
Often a well-built website or an installable web app is enough, and we say so on the call even when it pays us less. A native app makes sense for daily crew use, camera, offline work or push notifications.
My crew captures in the warehouse and there is no signal back there.
The app works offline and syncs when the signal returns; our POS already runs that way in real stores.
My last developer disappeared and took the logins with him.
Contract with a calendar, weekly builds you install on your phone, and warranty. Google Play, App Store, code and admin panel in your name from day one.

Case studies
Multi-store POS that installs on desktop, tablet and phone, works without a connection and syncs when the signal returns; public catalog and online store on the same inventory. It is the base we build capture and ordering apps on.

| Range | What it includes | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| $5,000 – $7,000 USD | One platform or an installable web app; catalog or services, simple orders or bookings, customer accounts, notifications; basic panel. 6 to 7 weeks. | Impulso Digital Dorado, lower range |
| $7,000 – $12,000 USD | Android and iOS; orders with card payments or crew accounts with offline mode; push; connection to your POS or CRM; full panel. 8 to 10 weeks. | Impulso Digital Dorado, upper range |
| Out of our range | Marketplaces with several user types, real-time chat, live map tracking, streaming, custom hardware, large design and PM teams. | Typical territory of large US agencies; if that is what you need, we will tell you and point you somewhere |

4 steps — the first one is free
30-minute call: what the app should do, for whom (customers or crew), what systems you already have and whether you actually need an app or a website is enough.
Proposal with scope screen by screen, platforms, fixed price and calendar. No fine print.
Clickable prototype in week one; build with weekly installable builds you approve on your phone.
Publication on Google Play and the App Store, panel training and a first-month report; 3-month warranty.
With Impulso Digital Dorado, $5,000 to $12,000 USD one time for a business app (orders, bookings, catalog, accounts, push, payments, offline mode), scope in writing and store accounts in your name. That is typically 40–70 % below a US agency for the same scope, because we build nearshore in Tijuana on Pacific time. Invoiced in USD.
If your customers only search, browse and message you, a well-built website solves it cheaper and shows up on Google. An app makes sense for daily use (crew, deliveries, field capture), camera or offline needs, or push notifications. We tell you which on the call, even when it pays us less.
Both if it is for customers in the US or Canada, where iOS carries most of the spending and Android the volume; one if it is for your crew and you choose the phones. We build one base that serves both, so the second platform adds about 30 %, not double.
6 to 10 weeks from proposal approval: clickable prototype in week one, installable builds every week and store publication at the end (Apple review can take a few days). Payments, offline mode and a POS connection push it to the upper end; the calendar goes in writing.
Yes. Google Play and App Store accounts are opened in your name, code and panel are delivered complete and documented, and you can continue with us or anyone else. Warranty covers 3 months after launch; maintenance afterwards is optional and in writing.
