App Maintenance & Operations

Launch day is day one – not the finish line.

Every year brings new iOS and Android versions, new devices, new store policies and new security vulnerabilities. Apps nobody maintains get removed from the stores or lose their users. Our app maintenance keeps your app current, secure and available – at a fixed monthly price, and for years also for apps we did not originally build.

The packages

	Care	Care+Grow
OS and device updates (iOS/Android)	✓	✓

Monthly feature and improvement budget	–	✓
Reporting	on request	✓

Both packages come at a fixed monthly price – we quote it after a short look at your app, because it depends on the size and condition of the code base. Let’s talk.

Why a subscription instead of one-off jobs?

• Predictability – fixed costs instead of surprise invoices whenever Apple or Google change something.
• Speed – we know your code base and pipeline; critical fixes don’t need to become a project first.
• Value retention – an app maintained continuously costs far less over five years than two “rescue projects”.

Frequently asked questions

Do you take over apps that someone else built?

Yes, we do that regularly. It starts with a code audit: we assess the code base, dependencies and build process and tell you honestly what shape the app is in.

What counts as maintenance, what as a new feature?

Maintenance keeps the app running, secure and store-compliant. New functionality is further development – the Care+Grow package includes a monthly budget for it; larger initiatives are planned separately.

How fast do you react to critical problems?

Response times are agreed individually in the maintenance contract – matched to how business-critical your app is.

What happens when a major OS release comes out?

We test your app against the iOS and Android beta versions before the release reaches your users – and fix problems before they show up in your store rating.
