Scoping workshops billed before a single screen is designed — or a quote that’s really a guess.
Free app blueprint
Know what your app costs
before you build it.
Tell us what the app should do. A Dtechkrew mobile lead turns it into a screen map, a v1 scope, the integrations it needs, and a cost and timeline range — so you decide with real numbers instead of a sales pitch.
No designs or spec needed. Written blueprint in about five business days. No obligation to build.
Same scoping. No invoice. If a website would do the job, we tell you that instead.
01 — Why app projects blow up
Most app budgets break before the first line of code.
Not because building is hard — because nobody wrote down what v1 must do, who it’s for, and what it connects to.
Quotes that are pure guesses
Without a scope, one vendor says three months and another says nine. Both are padding for what they don’t know yet.
Building the wrong v1
First apps try to do everything. Months go into features nobody opens while the one job customers need waits.
Two codebases, two bills
Separate iOS and Android teams double the cost of every change. One React Native codebase covers both stores.
Store-review surprises
Payments, logins, and privacy details that App Store and Play reviewers flag. Found late, they cost weeks.
02 — What we scope
Everything a builder needs to quote honestly.
You describe the business problem. We turn it into the decisions that drive cost and timeline.
Users and jobs
Customers, staff, or both — and the three jobs the app must do on day one.
Screens and flows
The core screens and how people move between them, from first open to done.
v1 vs. later
What ships first, what waits, and what you don’t need at all.
Bookings and payments
Deposits, subscriptions, schedules, and reminders — and which providers fit.
Integrations
Your website, CRM, booking tool, inventory, or accounting — what the app must talk to.
Offline and field use
Where signal drops, what must keep working, and how it syncs back.
Store and privacy
Logins, data handling, and the details reviewers check before approval.
Running cost
Hosting, services, and upkeep after launch — so there’s no surprise bill in month three.

Screens, v1 scope, and a cost and time range. $0.
03 — What you walk away with
A blueprint you can build from. With us or anyone.
Everything below is included at $0. It’s the same document we’d produce in a paid discovery phase.
Screen map
Every core screen and flow on one page — the app before it exists.
v1 scope
Must-haves vs. later, so the first release ships fast and does the main job well.
Integration list
Every system the app connects to, and how.
Cost and time range
A realistic range for v1 based on the scope — not a number pulled from the air.
App, web, or wait
An honest call. Sometimes a web app or automation does the job for less.
You keep it
The blueprint and the idea stay yours. Build with us, your team, or another studio.

04 — How it works
Describe the app. Get the blueprint.
No workshop and no spec writing. We ask the right questions so you don’t have to know them.
- Day 0
Describe it
Name, work email, company, and a few sentences on what the app should do and who uses it.
- Days 1–2
One quick call, if needed
20–30 minutes on your hours to fill gaps. If the form is enough, we skip it.
- Days 2–5
Write the blueprint
Screen map, v1 scope, integrations, cost and time range, and our honest recommendation.
- When you want it
Walkthrough
Optional. You keep the blueprint either way. Any build is a separate, quoted decision.
05 — Fit
Businesses with real customers or staff who need the app.
English-speaking SMBs in the US, UK, Europe, and Australia. We decline fast when the fit is wrong.
A good fit
We will pass
06 — Why it’s free
Because a badly scoped app costs both of us more than the blueprint.
We get paid to build, not to scope. Giving the blueprint away means we only start projects that have a clear v1 and a realistic budget — and you only start one when the numbers make sense.
Sometimes the blueprint says “you don’t need an app yet — a fast website or some automation will do it.” That’s a successful blueprint. You saved months and money, and you know who told you the truth.
No retainer, no credit that expires, no obligation. Describe the app and we start.
If you build with us · The Sprint Guarantee
Working software every two weeks. Or the next sprint is free.
Every build runs in two-week sprints. Each one ends in a demo of software you can click — not a status deck. If we miss a scheduled sprint demo for reasons on our side, we don’t bill the next sprint.
Written quote first
Scope, cost, and timeline in writing before any build starts. No surprise invoices.
You own everything
Code, repos, cloud accounts, and docs live in your name from day one.
NDA on request
We sign before you share anything sensitive. Confidentiality is not an upsell.
Applies to paid build engagements run in two-week sprints. A demo you ask to reschedule doesn’t count as missed.
