The 15% Uplift Commitment

Within 90 days of launch, our goal is to drive at least 15% additional revenue over your existing baseline.

If we do not hit that mark, you keep 100% of app revenue during that period. We take $0.

Qualified Partners

We only partner with creators who already have proven audience trust and purchase behavior.

Measured Execution

Product, pricing, and retention decisions are tracked against revenue KPIs, not opinions.

Aligned Incentives

If performance is not there, we do not get paid. The model enforces accountability.

How The Partnership Works

A focused, five-step operating model from qualification to launch and growth.

1

Qualification & Fit

You submit a short application. We prioritize creators with meaningful audience traction and proven monetization so the economics are strong on both sides.

2

Strategy Session + Product Blueprint

Before kickoff, we map your offer, content system, and subscription structure. You get a clear blueprint for what we are building and why.

3

Design, Build, and Launch

Our team handles product design, development, payments, analytics, and store submission. You stay focused on brand direction and launch communication.

4

Revenue Partnership Goes Live

You keep 85% of app profit and we keep 15%. No upfront build fee and no ongoing retainer. If the app does not perform, neither side pretends it did.

5

Continuous Optimization

We improve conversion, retention, and monetization through a shared roadmap. Every iteration is tied to business outcomes, not vanity features.

Where Agency Projects Break Down

Great agencies can ship quality work, but incentives often end at delivery.

  • Roadmap changes usually trigger new scopes, budgets, and delays.
  • Post-launch optimization is rarely tied to your growth outcomes.
  • High upfront spend means most risk stays with the creator.

Where DIY Platforms Break Down

Templates can help you start quickly, but speed is not the same as product quality.

  • Ongoing subscription costs stack up before product-market fit is proven.
  • You still carry product strategy, implementation, and optimization work.
  • Template constraints can make premium brand positioning harder.

What Makes App4Brand Different

We are operators, not order-takers. We share risk, build with long-term ownership in mind, and measure success by retained revenue.

If your app generates $10,000/month in profit:

  • You keep 85% → $8,500
  • We keep 15% → $1,500

If your app generates $0, we earn $0.

That is real alignment.

Why App4Brand Exists

We started App4Brand after years building consumer products, subscription systems, and monetization infrastructure across multiple categories.

We kept seeing the same pattern:

creators funded expensive builds, got a launch, and were left carrying long-term product risk alone. The vendor moved on. The creator absorbed the downside.

The structure was backwards: payment was guaranteed, outcomes were not.

We built App4Brand to fix that misalignment.

We operate as a product partner, not a project vendor.

We earn when the app earns. That keeps strategy, execution, and accountability in one lane.

The current founding model is simple: build at $0 upfront, then share profit 85/15.

Serious product work. Shared downside. Shared upside.

If performance is not there, our fee is not there.

We are intentionally keeping the first cohort small so every build receives senior attention.

We are selecting five founding partners for this cycle.

If you value quality and alignment, we should talk.
