What does “Affordable” Mean and How Can You Launch An App?
First, Let’s Review Custom Apps vs Templated Apps:
There is more than one way to launch an app - and one of them takes a ton more time and money than the other! MilkCrate clients spend on average less than 1/10 the cost and at 1/10 the time of building an app from scratch!
Why a templated MilkCrate app is better:
Lower costs - save over $100,000 to launch
Faster design time - go live in months not years
And features designed for a nonprofit’s needs
How Can Nonprofits Afford Their Own Branded App?
Prices are current 2021 rates and are subject to change in the future.
It’s our mission to make mobile program engagement software affordable.
Your fee range is determined based on your operating budget and length of contract - which will be calculated during your discovery process. If budget is a concern we have options available including funding partners.
