AI ASSISTED RAPID
APP DEVELOPMENT
Accelerated app builds for artists, labels, and music brands who want an owned channel for updates, releases, and direct fan connection, not another social platform dependency
If you’ve ever thought, “we should have an app,” you’re probably right. The problem is that traditional app development is slow, expensive, and often overbuilt for what most music teams actually need.
SquareWave.ai offers AI-assisted rapid app development and deployment for music professionals. We take a focused use case, lock scope, and ship a clean, reliable app that supports your brand and your audience.
Common App Types We Build:
-
Artist / Band App: News an content hub, tour dates, links, media, exclusive posts
-
Label / Collective App: Roster hub, releases, announcements, featured content
-
Fan Content App: Premium drops, behind-the-scenes updates, exclusive video links
-
Simple Utility Apps: Lightweight tools that support your community or brand
What We Handle:
-
Discovery and Requirements: Clarify the use case and define what “done” means
-
Scope Design: Keep it intentionally simple so it ships fast
-
Build and Testing: Ensure it works, key bugs are resolved, and that it’s usable in the real world
-
Deployment: App Store readiness and submission
-
Optional Add-ons: Basic analytics, push notifications, select integrations, ongoing support
What This Is (and isn’t):
This is for teams who want a practical app that ships and actually gets used. It’s not for giant custom platforms, experimental R&D, or “building the next Spotify.”
Typical Timeline:
Most builds land in weeks, not months, depending on scope and App Store review timelines.
Starting Pricing:
Projects typically start around $3,000–$4,500 for a simple, well-scoped app, with pricing increasing based on complexity, integrations, and review/approval cycles.
Initial pricing assumes you provide required digital assets and content (copy, images, links, etc.). SquareWave.ai can assist with content prep as an add-on. Final pricing is set after discovery and scope confirmation.
