We build the app you've been describing for two years.

Routekip LLC designs, builds, and ships iOS and Android apps — from first sketch to live on the App Store. Fixed price, fixed timeline, no hourly surprises.

Why Routekip

We ship our own products, so we build yours like we own it.

Most agencies have never operated an app after launch. We do — every day. The code we hand you is built to survive OS updates, App Store review, real payments, and real users.

One team, start to finish

No account managers, no handoffs, no offshore subcontractors. You talk to the person writing the code.

Fixed price, fixed scope

You know the number before we start. No hourly billing, no scope-creep invoices at the end.

Built to be maintained

Clean architecture, documented, and yours. If you take it in-house later, your next developer won't curse our name.

What we build

Any industry. One standard.

If it runs on a phone or the software behind one, it's in scope.

Consumer appsMarketplaces, discovery, social, booking.
Business toolsScheduling, inventory, dispatch, field crews, internal dashboards.
Payments & marketplacesStripe Connect, split payouts, subscriptions, ticketing.
AI featuresChat assistants, search, document processing.
Rescue workInherited codebases, failed builds, App Store rejections.
Web & backendAPIs, admin panels, hosting, and the infrastructure behind the app.
Pricing

Pick the tier that matches where you are.

Every price below is a starting point set against a defined scope. You approve the number before any code is written.

Discovery Sprint
$1,500
1 week

Before anyone writes code, we scope it properly.

  • Requirements and feature map
  • Technical architecture and stack decisions
  • Screen-by-screen wireframes
  • Fixed quote for the full build
You keep the spec either way. Credited in full toward your build if you move forward within 30 days.
Rescue & Repair
$2,500–$5,000
1–3 weeks

Your app exists, but something's broken.

  • Won't build after an SDK or OS update
  • App Store rejection you can't get past
  • Developer disappeared and nobody can run the code
  • Crashes, performance, or payment bugs
Free 30-minute diagnostic call. Fixed quote once we've seen the repository.

From $12,000
5–7 weeks

A real, shippable v1 in customers' hands.

  • One platform — iOS or Android
  • Up to 10 core screens
  • User accounts and authentication
  • One major integration: payments, maps, or AI
  • Backend, database, and hosting setup

50% to start, 50% at delivery.

Ongoing · can be added to any build

Apps aren't furniture. Left alone they break, usually the week Apple ships an update.

  • OS and SDK upgrades handled before they break your build
  • App Store resubmissions
  • Uptime and crash monitoring
  • Security patches
  • Included hours each month for small changes and fixes
  • Priority response
Month to month. Cancel any time.
How it works

Four steps from idea to App Store.

1 · CallTwenty minutes. You describe it, we tell you roughly what it costs and how long it takes.
2 · ScopeThe Discovery Sprint turns the idea into wireframes, architecture, and a fixed quote.
3 · BuildWeekly builds you can install and use. No disappearing for a month.
4 · ShipWe handle App Store submission, review, and launch — then support it.
Questions

The things everyone asks first.

How do you price?

Fixed price against a fixed scope, set after the Discovery Sprint. New requests mid-build are quoted separately, and you approve them before we build.

Who owns the code?

You do. Full ownership transfers on final payment — repository, assets, and accounts.

Can you work with my existing team?

Yes. We take contract and overflow work for agencies and in-house teams that need mobile capacity.

What if I only have an idea?

That's exactly what the Discovery Sprint is for. You'll leave with a spec, wireframes, and a real number — whether or not you build with us.

How fast can you start?

We take a limited number of client projects each quarter so that every build gets full attention. Current availability is shown at the bottom of this page.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, before any detail is discussed. Send yours over or ask for ours.

Do you build for Android too?

Yes. The MVP Build covers one platform; the Full Product Build covers both iOS and Android from a shared codebase.

Tell us what you're building.

A 20-minute call is enough to tell you whether it's a $12,000 project or a $40,000 one — and whether we're the right people to build it.
