What it costs

From $49 a month, against a five-figure invoice.

The comparison that matters is not against other app builders.

It is against the agency quote you were given, and against the twelve months of change requests that follow it.

Against an agency build

The same app, two ways of paying for it.

Agency figures are a range drawn from quotes merchants have shown us, not a published price list. Treat them as indicative. The only real wait on the Zust side is Apple and Google reviewing the submission.

What is included

Because the exclusions are where app pricing usually hides.

  • Both platforms

    iPhone and Android. Not one now and the other as an upgrade.

  • Every update

    Including the ones forced on you by an OS release. Not billed per submission.

  • Every change you make

    Screens, branding, promotions. There is no per-change fee because there is no developer in the loop.

  • Nothing per order

    Zust does not sit between you and your money, so there is nothing for it to take a percentage of.

The number to compare

0%

taken from any order placed through the app.

Your gateway, your merchant account, your bank. The subscription is the whole cost, which means a good month costs the same as a quiet one.

Honest answers
