Digibex Studio · UK

Your app idea, built simply and privately, in weeks.

We design and build our own apps. Now we're opening our doors to build yours too: iPhone, Android and web apps for small businesses, coaches and first-time founders. AI makes us faster, so you pay less, and privacy is built in from the start.

How it works

From idea to launch in four steps

1

Plan

Answer a few questions in our free app planner. In about five minutes you'll get a written plan and a price range.

2

Prototype

In 7 days we build a clickable demo you can try on your phone. It's the easiest way to check the idea before building it.

Build

We build in weekly rounds. Every Friday you get a new version to test, so there are no surprises at the end.

4

Launch and grow

We publish to the app stores, then keep it secure, up to date and improving on a monthly care plan.

Questions

Good to know

I've already started my app with an AI tool. Can you help?

Yes. Tools like Lovable and Bolt are brilliant for getting an idea started, but they often leave gaps, especially around keeping people's details private. Our £395 app health check tells you exactly what's safe, what isn't, and what it would cost to finish, with no obligation.

What does "built with AI" actually mean?

We use AI coding tools to do much of the routine building work, so a skilled person can deliver in weeks what used to take a team months. Everything is still designed, checked and tested by a person. That's why our prices are lower than a traditional agency's.

How do you look after my users' data?

Privacy is how we build all our own apps. We only collect what the app needs, keep it stored securely in the UK or Europe where we can, and never sell anyone's data. Behind the scenes, we lock things down so nothing private can leak. We'll help you write a clear privacy policy too.

Do I own the app?

Yes. The app, the designs and your customers' data are all yours. It goes into the App Store and Google Play under your own name, and if you ever want to move on, we hand everything over.

I'm not technical. Is that a problem?

Not at all. Most people with an app idea have never built one before. We explain everything in plain English and you test real versions on your own phone every week.

Can you add AI to my app?

Yes. Examples include turning a photo into a step-by-step plan, a chat helper that knows your business, smart recommendations or summarising long text. We'll tell you honestly when AI helps and when it doesn't.

What are the ongoing costs?

Your care plan (from £79 a month). The app's own running costs (somewhere to store its data) are usually about £20 to £40 a month once it's live, paid directly by you. For a phone app, Apple charges US$99 a year and Google US$25 once. If your app uses AI, that costs pennies per customer. We'll put all of this in your plan so there are no surprises.

How do payments work?

For builds, you pay 40% to start, 30% at the halfway demo and 30% at launch. A Prototype Sprint is paid up front and credited in full against your build.

What do I get for the Prototype Sprint?

A clickable demo: up to 8 designed screens you can tap through on your phone to see how the app will look and flow, plus a written build plan and a fixed quote. It's a demo, not a working app, so nothing is saved and there are no real logins or payments yet. That's what the build is for.
