Appkodes: apps and MVPs, $120K a month, Indie Hackers report

Appkodes builds mobile apps, web apps, and MVPs for businesses under fixed-price, fixed-date terms. Its $120K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of June 2025.

What it actually sells

Appkodes builds mobile apps, web apps, and MVPs for businesses, with a fixed price and a fixed launch date. Its site says, “We build mobile apps, web apps and MVPs on a fixed price and a fixed launch date.”

The delivery process includes written goals and requirements, screens designed for users, and a clickable prototype to try. The stated process ends with a fixed price and launch date.

How it charges

The first step is a free costed plan showing the project price and launch date before clients decide. The plan stays with the client whether they proceed or not, and the stated offer uses fixed pricing and a fixed launch date.

Where customers come from

Appkodes lists a free costed plan, case studies, and direct WhatsApp contact as customer-facing channels. It also publishes YouTube client videos about products and services.

What stands out

The site states 18 years of delivery experience, 1000+ clients worldwide, 2000+ projects delivered, and delivery to 50+ countries. It says it fixes bugs, keeps apps current, sends a monthly report, encrypts user data, reviews code for security flaws, publishes to both app stores, and helps clients find first paying users.

Where it sits in the data

Appkodes's $120K a month is higher than 89% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

My view: the buyer is a business that needs a mobile app, web app, or MVP and wants a defined price and launch date. Demand would need to come from businesses with a product or operational process to digitise. Distribution would have to come from case studies, direct contact, and client videos.

The hard parts are estimating scope, delivering usable software, maintaining the app after launch, and supporting clients. Data protection and security review add responsibility. This model also competes with other development agencies and software teams, while fixed dates create pressure when requirements change.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

The clear offer is a free costed plan followed by fixed-price delivery with a fixed launch date, documented requirements, and a clickable prototype before the build.
