What an app costs with Keepport
A custom app with Keepport costs $3,000 to $12,000 for a single-location business and launches in six to ten weeks. Every app we build is on a care plan, $299 to $1,499 a month, billed monthly or annually. The optional two-week App Plan is $750 and is credited to your build. Taking over an app someone else built starts with a $750 audit. Prices on this page are starting points. The quote you sign is the price you pay, and scope is agreed in writing before work starts.
Launch: the restaurant package
Order-ahead, pickup times, Stripe payments, Square sync and a stamp card, built on the Keepport template and published under your own name in both stores. One price agreed in writing, one flat monthly fee, no percentage of your orders.
Live in both stores in about eight weeks. Includes the launch kit (QR, table cards, first-order promo, SMS) and staff training. A restaurant paying $2,000 a month in marketplace commission gets the setup back in under three months.
We build the first version of the template around your menu, with you in the room. You get the full Launch package at half price; we get a case study with real order numbers. Three places, first come first served.
