Exactly what £49 includes
The scope of the one-time price, in writing — what we deliver, what comes from you, and where the line is. So both of us know what we've agreed to before any money changes hands.
Paludis is £49 once per app. Apple's own Developer fee is separate and goes directly to Apple — see pricing.
What your payment includes
One payment covers one app, end to end — from your URL to a build sitting in your App Store Connect account.
A native iOS app generated from your site
A real Expo iOS project that loads your live website full-screen — with your app name, icon (every required iOS size generated for you), splash screen, and theme.
Built-in native behaviour
The generated app ships with an offline retry screen, pull-to-refresh, swipe-back navigation, camera and photo upload support for your site's upload buttons, and push notifications you can send from your dashboard.
Apple setup, automated
Using the API key you connect, we register the App ID, create the signing certificate and provisioning profile, and enable push — the Apple paperwork that normally needs Xcode and a Mac.
Cloud build, signing, and TestFlight upload
We build the app on cloud Macs, sign it with your credentials, and upload it to TestFlight in your App Store Connect account, ready for you to install and submit for review.
Rebuilds of that app, free
Change the name, icon, colors, or pick up new native features we ship — rebuild the same app as often as you need at no extra charge. Day-to-day website changes don't even need a rebuild; the app shows your live site.
Help through App Review — guaranteed
We guide you through the listing details Apple looks for. If Apple rejects the app, we work with you — fixing and resubmitting — until it's approved, or you get a full refund of what you paid us.
What you provide
Three things come from your side. Each exists so the app is genuinely yours on Apple's systems.
A live website over HTTPS
The app loads your real site, so the site itself — its hosting, content, features, and fixes — stays with you or the builder you made it with.
An Apple Developer account
Apple's requirement for every app on the store: $99/year, enrolled in your name, paid directly to Apple. We never touch it and add no markup.
An App Store Connect API key
A key you create yourself (never your Apple password) that authorises us to build, sign, and upload for you. Stored encrypted; revocable in Apple's console at any time.
Your App Store listing details
The description, screenshots, and privacy answers on your store page are yours to fill in — we tell you exactly what Apple looks for at each field.
What's not included
The boundaries, stated plainly — so there's no surprise on either side.
Android / Google Play
Paludis ships iOS apps. There's no Android build, and no Google Play submission.
Changes to your website
We turn the site you have into an app; we don't redesign, fix, or extend the website itself. If Apple review asks for a change on your site, we'll tell you exactly what and why — making the change is yours (or your builder's).
Custom native development
Native features beyond the built-in set above — for example bespoke native modules or Apple in-app purchases — aren't part of the one-time price. If you need one, ask; we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.
A second app
One payment unlocks one app (one App Store listing). Shipping another app is another payment — there's no bundle pricing to decode.
Sounds fair?
Build and preview your app free — you only pay when you're ready to ship.
