Lease an app — pay monthly
Your own app without the big up-front investment? Lease your app from Forkbyte. A low setup fee for the build, then a fixed monthly price covering maintenance, store updates, monitoring and ongoing development. We build native for iOS and Android, publish to the store and keep improving every month — you pay monthly instead of tens of thousands at once.
Low setup, fixed monthly
App · 1 platform
A native iOS or Android app on subscription, all the way to the store.

Both platforms on one shared backend and accounts.
App + web
Mobile app plus web app or dashboard, all on one platform.
Market: all-in subscription € 50–€ 99/mo · setup € 250–€ 500. We price below that.
How does leasing a website work?
What does leasing an app cost per month?
With us one platform (iOS or Android) starts at € 1,450 setup + € 245 per month. iOS and Android together is € 2,450 + € 395/mo, and an app with a web app/dashboard € 3,450 + € 595/mo. Buying an app starts around € 9,500 with us — leasing spreads that cost so you can start much lower, with maintenance and updates already included.
What is included in the monthly price?
Maintenance, updates for each new iOS and Android version, bug fixes, crash and performance monitoring, backend hosting and ongoing development: each month we work on improvements and small features. Your app keeps living instead of going stale.
What is the term?
Because building an app is much more work than a website, we use a minimum term of 24 months, then cancel monthly. That is what makes the low setup fee possible.
Is the app mine?
Yes. The app lives in your own App Store and Google Play accounts and runs under your name. Want to take the app over and own the source code later? That is possible with a one-time buyout.
Lease or buy — which is smarter?
Buying is cheaper long term if you have the budget up front. Leasing is ideal if you want to start low, validate your idea first and have maintenance plus updates handled without thinking about it. In a free project scan we work out both options for you.
