starti.app turns your existing website into a native app - with push notifications, biometric login and the features your users expect. You skip building from scratch, and you maintain just one place.
The app project is always the one that slips down the priority list. It's rarely down to a lack of will - it usually comes down to one of these four challenges:
A custom-built app requires an investment in the millions and months of development time. For many companies, that's simply not justifiable.
Newsletters drown in the inbox, ad budgets have skyrocketed, and competition is fierce. Push notifications reach users directly and can double your activity. But that requires an app.
Your users are on mobile, but mobile web doesn't deliver the conversion rates you need. Carts are abandoned. Customers don't come back. How are you solving that problem today?
An app built separately from the website means two (maybe even three) codebases, two teams and double the maintenance. That's not sustainable in the long run.
starti.app is the technology that connects your website with a native app. You add a short piece of code to your website. starti.app then builds an app that's directly linked to your website - and that automatically reflects the changes you make on the site. So you manage just one place, while your users get two fully updated channels: your website and your app.
You don't start over. All the code, all the content and all the functionality you've already invested time and resources into on your website is the foundation for your app.
Push notifications, biometric login, camera access, geofencing, offline support. Features that used to require native app development are now available through your web platform.
We handle approval with Apple and Google, technical maintenance and ongoing updates. You're up and running while your competitors are still gathering quotes.
Traditional app agencies build from scratch. It costs time and resources, and afterwards you're left with two platforms to maintain. AI and vibe coding is an option more people are venturing into, but who's responsible for security? Who handles Apple's and Google's ongoing requirements? Who updates things when something changes?
starti.app works on any type of website, takes full responsibility for security and maintenance, and builds on the foundation you already have.
Your customers use your platform every day, but only through a browser. An app reduces churn, boosts engagement and makes your platform an integrated part of the user's everyday life.
You have the traffic. You have the products. An app gives you the channel that converts and retains.

As a starti.app partner, you can offer your clients a native app based on the website you've already built for them. You handle the development - we provide the technology and infrastructure. It expands your service portfolio without requiring you to hire app developers.
Instead of developing an app from scratch, we can use your website as the core of your future app. It will save you a lot of time, trouble and money compared to traditional app development - that’s smart, right?
Yes, in principle your website can be used as the core of the app without any changes. However, we always recommend tweaking the website to be more “appish” when displayed in the app.
There are actually several reasons why starti.app is so affordable compared to traditional app development.
starti.app is a new way of thinking about app development. Instead of building your app from scratch (the “traditional” way), the starti.app technology uses your existing website as the core of the app. This saves you hundreds of expensive development hours.
Once the app is built, you pay a fixed subscription fee that covers all technical maintenance (updates from Apple and Google). That way, you always know your exact ongoing costs, and you’ll never be hit with a surprise invoice for a technical update.
And the content in your app? You can keep it updated yourself via your website. With starti.app, any changes made to your website are automatically reflected in the app. That will save you a lot of money in the long run.
So how can starti.app be so affordable? Because we connect your app to something you already have. That reduces both our development time and your maintenance efforts, while still giving you (and your users) exactly the app you want.
The starti.app solution is already built in advance. Therefore we can skip a lot of the development time. It may however take some time on your end to prepare your website for starti.app. As well as it takes a few weeks on our end to finetune the final app.
Usually it takes about 6 weeks from your GO until you have a finished app ready for download.
Normally, Apple and Google have to approve all updates to an app before it is allowed in their stores. But with starti.app, you can make updates whenever it suits you - and they are immediately live in the app.
This is possible because the app looks at your website. When you make an update to the website, it is automatically shown in the app.
When we talk about app users, we always focus on active users. Active users are those who have opened your app within a specific time period. At starti.app, we measure active users over the past month.
As part of your subscription plan, you can have a set number of active users each month:
If you get more active users than what’s included in your subscription plan, you either need to upgrade to a higher subscription plan or purchase the add-on with extra active users.
Please note that it’s only possible to purchase additional active users if you are on the Plus or Premium plan.
You can always see how many active users you have in the current month by logging into your Manager account. You can also purchase additional users there. Log in to your starti.app Manager account here: https://manager.starti.app
The very short answer: Yes.
The slightly longer answer: Technically, you’ll get a new app with starti.app. Your current app was most likely built from scratch, and it requires quite a bit of maintenance—both when you want to make changes to the app and when Apple and Google impose new requirements.
We are seeing more and more people who have had an app built from scratch, but find it too much of a hassle to keep the app updated. As a result, they switch to starti.app, where the app is based on their website, and we handle the technical maintenance.
For those of you who already have an app and want to switch to the starti.app technology, you should expect that the codebase for your app will be new. This is because starti.app bases the app on your website, so when you make changes to the website, we ensure those changes are reflected in the app as well.
You will keep your App Store and Google Play accounts, which means you’ll also retain all the users you’ve gained on your current app.
