An app like no other

At starti.app, we rethink apps. Instead of developing a traditional app from scratch, we use your website as the core of your future app. With our plug-and-play solution, we adjust content and design in the app to make it look just the way you want it. Since starti.app uses your website as the foundation of the app, it is important that your website is mobile friendly.

Tips to make your website mobile friendly

Super easy, yet so powerful

You are only 3 steps away from your new app.

1. Your website
You already have a website, and if it is mobile friendly, it is ready for starti.app. You can advantageously make some adjustments to the menu bar, footer, contact information, product categories, etc., when it is shown in the app. These elements are often different in an app vs. web.
Optimize your mobile website
2. App features
You can choose all the "app features" you want in your app. E.g. Push notifications, Biometric login or QR scanner. Once you've chosen at least one feature, we'll send you a custom API that turns your website into an app. Now the app can use all the features you have selected.

3. A finished app
The app is now ready to be published on the different app stores, where users can download it. Once the app is published, it is automatically updated when you update your website. And the best part? We handle the technical maintenance for you.

Let us handle the technical maintenance

When your app is published, it is automatically updated when you update your website. That is how you can have 2 platforms (your website and app) but only need to maintain 1 (your website).

When it comes to apps and in particular app stores, Google and Apple regularly make changes to the requirements. We call it “technical maintenance”, and we will handle that part for you.

We make sure that your app always meets the latest requirements and updates from Google and Apple.

Can I use my website as it is?

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.

How can starti.app be so affordable compared to traditional app development?

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.

How long does it take to make the app?

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.

Is the app for both iPhone and Android?

Yes, the app is build with crossplatform technologies, which means you can make do with one solution(app) that works on both iPhone and Android.

Do updates always have to be approved?

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.

How many users can my app have?

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:

  • Basic plan = 500 active users per month
  • Plus plan = 5,000 active users per month
  • Premium plan = 25,000 active users per 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

I already have an app, can I turn it into a 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 thetechnology, 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.
