What your customer actually does, from opening your website to getting your alert. Scroll through it.
Your customer opens your website on their phone. One tap on Share, one tap on Add to Home Screen. No store account, no download, no waiting for an approval. On Android the browser offers an Install button as well.
App Basic · R2 999
It opens full screen with your logo and your colours, and the offline pages keep working when the signal drops. The same site, one tap from the Home Screen.
App Basic · R2 999

App extra: Face ID sign-in · R4 999
Booking reminders, order updates, a spot opened on the waitlist. Sent from your own server, so there is no per-message fee. On iPhone, alerts work once the app is on the Home Screen.
App extra: push notifications · R2 999Start on the Home Screen: it reaches every phone with a browser and costs a fraction of a store app. Add the stores when your customers expect to find you by searching them.
What the stores charge you directly: Apple US$99 a year and Google US$25 once, paid into your own developer accounts. A custom-built mobile app in South Africa is typically quoted from R96 000; we reuse what is already built into your site, which is why ours is a fraction of that.
