The short answer
A sprint sits inside what a single modest grant covers. That is the whole reason this page exists: for most charities the question has never been whether custom software would help, it is whether it was ever affordable.

Why the price matters more here
For a commercial client, the difference between £3,000 and £30,000 is a budgeting decision. For a community organisation it decides whether the project exists.
Most agency pricing puts custom software permanently out of reach for organisations of this size, which is why so many run on a spreadsheet maintained by one volunteer.
What funders actually ask
Three questions, and the third is the one that catches people out.
What does it cost? A published fixed price is far easier to put in an application than a quote range.
What will it achieve? Be concrete: hours saved, people reached, reporting that currently takes two weeks.
What happens when the funding ends? This is the one that sinks applications. Our answer: you own the code, the accounts, and the database outright. No licence to renew, nothing that stops a volunteer developer or another studio picking it up. That is a stronger sustainability answer than a subscription.
Running costs after the build
- Hosting: small at charity volumes.
- Apple Developer Program, about £79 a year. Google Play, about £20 once.
- Nothing to us. No licence, no retainer, no renewal.
When not to spend the money

Do you offer a charity discount?
Our price is the same for everyone. It is already low enough to sit inside a single modest grant, which is unusual in this market and does more good than a percentage off an agency rate would.
Will a funder pay for an app?
Digital and capacity-building funds regularly do. What helps an application is a fixed published price and a clear answer on what happens after the grant ends.
What are the running costs after the build?
Hosting, which is small at charity volumes, and the app store fees. There are no licence fees and nothing to renew with us, which is the part funders care about most.
