The three ways this usually goes

There are only three ways a business gets an app built. Two of them hurt.

Here is the honest comparison, with the real cost of each, before you spend anything.

Hire the team in house

£180,000

a year

Plus recruitment fees, equipment, holiday cover and roughly three months of hiring before a single screen is designed. You carry the salaries whether there is work in the queue or not.

Slow and heavy

Stitch together freelancers

Cheap

per hour

Low rates, but nobody owns the outcome. No designer, no testing, no project lead, and a real chance the developer goes quiet halfway through with your half finished code on their laptop.

Risky

Build it with 5WORKS

A full pod of designers, developers, testing and a product lead, working in weekly sprints. One number agreed before we start, work you can see every week, and no change request invoices.

Built for founders

You are not short of developers. You are short of a team that finishes things.

How a build runs

Four steps, and you are on the stores.

Agree the package

Pick the package that matches the app you need. The price is fixed in writing before any work starts.

Plan

A kickoff call, then a written product blueprint: the screens, the flows and the order we will build them in.

Build in sprints

Design and development run in short sprints. You get preview builds on your own phone as the app takes shape.

Ship to the stores

We prepare the listings, submit to the App Store and Google Play, and handle review until you are live.

Most clients see their first working build inside 14 days.

The five promises

Five bars in the mark. Five promises behind it.

These are the five things every client gets, on every plan, written into the agreement rather than implied in a sales call.

Fixed price.

You know the number before we start and it does not move.

Fixed price.

Work ships every week, not every quarter.

Fully yours.

Source code, design files and store accounts are transferred to you. We keep nothing.

Fast to store.

We handle App Store and Google Play submission, review and approval.

Forever supported.

Six months of maintenance after launch is included, then a care plan takes over.

Packages

Three packages. One fixed price. Six months of maintenance included.

Each package is a single fixed price in GBP for the finished product, paid in three stages as the work is delivered.

£2,999

one off

For founders and small businesses taking one clear idea to the App Store.

Scale

Most popular

£3,999

A recent build, in depth

Foodelo

The challenge. A delivery business was running restaurants, groceries and pharmacy orders through three separate systems and a call centre, so no customer could order from two shops at once.

The outcome. One app with a single basket across every kind of shop, live rider tracking, group ordering and gifting, launched on both stores with a rider app and an operations panel behind it.

10K+

downloads on Google Play

app surfaces: customer, rider, admin

What clients say about working this way

Placeholder quotes, for replacement with real ones

We had a quote for £90,000 and eight months. 5WORKS had the first version on my phone in a fortnight and it went live in nine weeks.

Placeholder name

Founder, delivery business, Foodelo
The part I did not expect was the calm. A call every Monday, a build every Friday, and the same number on the invoice every month.

Placeholder name

Operations director, Farmsell
They pushed back on half my feature list, which saved me a lot of money. The app shipped smaller and my users are happier for it.

Questions we are asked before the first call

What happens if I stop the project halfway through?
You pay for the stage you are in and nothing beyond it. Everything designed and built up to that point is transferred to you: source code, design files, store listings and any accounts in your name. We keep no copy and no reusable library from your build.
