Care Plans After Your App Launches

Options for handling maintenance, updates, and app store compliance for your app.

Written by Vincent P.

Overview

After your app build is finished, you choose how it stays maintained: a monthly Care Plan (our recommendation), on-demand development sprints, or third-party development and self-editing.

Every app includes a 60-day launch warranty. If something we built isn't working as intended, we fix it at no cost. The options below apply once the warranty ends.

Whichever option you choose, your team stays responsible for end-user customer support (member questions, logins, billing), day-to-day content updates in the CMS, and ownership of your developer accounts and any third-party subscriptions.

Option 1: Care Plan (Recommended)

The Care Plan is $1,499 per month and covers ongoing maintenance, bug fixes, small updates, and App Store management, with priority updates within 7 days and critical updates within 48 hours.

Each month includes:

  • 7 story points for app updates, bug fixes, OS updates, content migration, and maintenance

  • Website hosting, maintenance, and 2 hours of updates

  • App Store and Google Play management, plus our AI Chief of Staff

  • Priority updates within 7 days

  • Critical updates within 48 hours

We hold capacity for you every month, so your requests don't wait for the next open sprint. Your plan includes both website and app store management.

Option 2: On-demand development

On-demand development is a pay-as-you-go option for fixes and updates, with no monthly commitment, delivered in two-week sprints as our schedule allows.

  • Each sprint runs two weeks (12–15 story points) and costs $2,500.

  • Sprints are scheduled 30 days in advance, so plan ahead for the work you need.

  • The 7-day and 48-hour response times apply to the Care Plan only.

  • You book a sprint through the client portal, based on our next available opening.

This works well if you only need occasional, planned updates and can wait for a scheduled sprint.

Option 3: Third-party development or self-editing

You can have another developer work on your app or make changes yourself, and you take on the risk of breaking the app.

  • You own your Vercel, GitHub, and Supabase accounts, so nothing needs to be transferred. Give your developer access and they can start.

  • You are responsible for any problems caused by changes made by you or a third party.

  • If major structural changes, new features, or security issues have been introduced outside our work, we may decline to provide future support or development.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 60-day launch warranty cover? If something we built isn't working as intended, we fix it at no cost during the first 60 days after launch.

Do I need to move my accounts if I choose Option 3? No. You already own your Vercel, GitHub, and Supabase accounts. Give your developer access and no transfer is needed.

What if I need a fix between sprints? On the Care Plan, priority updates arrive within 7 days and critical updates within 48 hours. With on-demand development, the fix waits for your scheduled sprint.

Which option should I pick? We recommend the Care Plan because it reserves capacity for you and comes with set response times. We're happy to hop on a call to walk through which fits best. Email [email protected] to get started.
