Working with GearedApp
How do I start working with GearedApp?
Book a free, no-obligation initial consultation. Share your idea with our team and you'll receive an honest, initial estimate tailored to your goals. From there we agree on the right engagement model (Pilot, Accelerator, or Platform) and shape the team and timeline to fit.
What are Pilot, Accelerator, and Platform?
What does your Agile process look like in practice?
Who from GearedApp will I work with?
Where is GearedApp based?
How much does a project cost?
Software development
Bespoke web and mobile product development, from MVP to platform.
Which technologies do you use?
We work across modern web, mobile, cloud, AI, and infrastructure technologies including React, Next.js, React Native, Expo, TypeScript, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS, Google Cloud, and serverless tooling. Our value is in choosing the right tools for your context, not in pushing a fixed stack.
What happens after launch?
Data & AI
Practical, transparent AI integration and data-driven product features.
How do I know if AI is the right fit for my product?
We start with your goals and workflows, not the technology. Through discovery sessions and opportunity mapping we identify the highest-impact use cases for AI in your business, and the ones where it doesn't earn its place. You'll leave with a clear-eyed view of where AI creates measurable value.
Which AI models and tools do you use?
What about data privacy and security?
MVP validation
Prototyping, user testing, and focused MVP delivery.
What's the difference between a prototype and an MVP?
A prototype is a clickable mock-up that helps you test ideas with users before any code is written. An MVP is a real, working product, scoped to the must-haves only, that real users can use and you can learn from. Most engagements move through prototyping first, then into a focused MVP build.
How long does an MVP take to build?
How do you decide what goes into an MVP?
Extended team
Adding GearedApp engineers, designers, and PMs alongside your own.
What does an extended-team engagement look like?
We integrate with your team rather than running parallel to it. We join your stand-ups, sprint planning, demos, and Slack, and we use your tools, conventions, and communication channels. Engagements range from a single specialist for a sprint to a full squad (engineering, design, PM, QA) for a quarter or longer.
Can I scale the team up and down as my needs change?
What skill sets can you cover?
Ongoing support
Strategy, maintenance, and continuous improvement after launch.
What does ongoing support actually cover?
Proactive monitoring, regular maintenance (dependency updates, security patches, performance tuning), and continuous improvement informed by analytics and user feedback. We can also provide strategic input through feasibility workshops, code reviews, and roadmap shaping when you need it.
Can you support a product you didn't originally build?
How do you catch issues before users notice them?
