Start a Premium project

Premium is my upper limit as a solo developer. If your project is bigger — full MVP, complex integrations, ongoing engineering — I'm not the right fit. You'll get better results from an agency or a small team set up for that scale of work.

Add-ons

App Store distribution (iOS) — store listing, screenshots, submission	+$400
Google Play distribution — store listing, screenshots, submission	+$300
Push notifications setup (FCM + APNs, in-app receiving and tap routing)	+$400
External payment integration (Stripe, PayPal — for physical goods, services, or donations)	+$300
In-app purchases (IAP — required for digital goods sold inside iOS/Android apps; one-time)	+$500
Subscriptions via IAP (app-side + entitlement state)	+$900
Firebase or Supabase integration (Firestore/Postgres + Auth + simple Storage rules)	+$800
Post-delivery work (after free support window)	$150/hr

What counts as a screen?

A screen is one distinct view with its own layout — login, profile, settings, list, detail, etc.
A list and its detail page count as two screens.
Modals, dialogs, and pop-overs don't count as screens.
Tabs inside one view count as one screen if they share the same layout shell.
If you're unsure, send me a sketch or a description and I'll give you an exact count in your quote.

How it works

Five steps. Quote to handoff.

1

Quote

Email me what you want built. I'll reply within 24 hours with a fixed-price quote based on the tier and add-ons that fit.
2

50% deposit

You pay half upfront via Stripe. This locks in your project and covers my time even if you change your mind.
3

I build

I build with a mid-build check-in for feedback. You get a working test build before final delivery.
4

You test

Install the test build on your phone via TestFlight (iOS) or Internal Testing (Android). One revision round included.
5

Final payment + handoff

You pay the second half. I push the final build to your store account, send you the source code, and send the build guide. Done.

What you'll need

A few things before we start. Most are free or one-time.

Apple Developer account

Required for iOS distribution. $99/year, paid by you. You add me as a developer with App Manager role.

Google Play Console account

Required for Android distribution. $25 one-time, paid by you. You add me as a user with Release Manager role.

Brand assets

Logo, app icon (1024×1024 PNG), color palette, sample screens or mockups if you have them. I'll handle basic icon and logo work if you don't. For full custom design, hire a designer separately.

Privacy policy + terms

Required by Apple and Google. Use a free generator or your own legal counsel. I link to whatever URL you provide.

Common questions

Can you do custom features beyond what's listed?

Yes. If it fits inside the Premium scope ceiling, I'll quote it under one of the existing tiers. If it's bigger than that, you'd be better served by an agency or a small team that handles full MVPs.

What if I need a backend?

A Firebase or Supabase integration (Firestore/Postgres + Auth + simple Storage rules) is available as an add-on. Anything beyond that is a custom quote at quote time and may push the project past my scope ceiling.

Who handles the visual design?

For most projects, I apply Material Design 3 with your color palette and fonts, and include basic icons and simple logo work. If you have brand assets, mockups, or a Figma file, I'll use them. If you need full custom design — custom illustrations, icon sets, or a brand identity — that's beyond my scope. You'd hire a designer first or work with one in parallel, and I'll implement what they hand me.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance or retainers?

No retainers. After delivery, I include a short bug-fix support window depending on your tier. After that, post-delivery work is hourly at $150/hr — bug fixes, small changes, store-resubmission help. When you need bigger work, we scope it as a new project.

What if I want to keep working with you on v2?

Happy to. v2 gets scoped and quoted as its own project, same as v1. No retainer model, no never-ending engagement — each release is a clean start with a clear price.

Can you start this week?

Slot availability varies because I work on one project at a time. Email me with what you need and I'll tell you the next opening.

Do I own the source code?

Yes. After final payment, the full source code is transferred to you. You can keep building it yourself, hire me again or another developer, or open source it. It's yours.

About

I'm Lou Franco, an indie developer building Flutter apps full-time. Here's what I've shipped:

DigiClippy

Digital coupon clipper

D-Vasive

Mic and camera privacy

Snoop Detector

Catch someone snooping on your phone

SuperChat Tracker

Live chat tracking for streamers

Food Rater

Rate your takeout or dine in food

I keep it focused, build it, ship it, hand off the source. No retainers, no agency overhead, no chasing me for updates six months later. You talk directly to the person building your app, and when the project is done, you own the code completely — keep building it yourself, hire me again or another developer, or open source it. It's yours.
