Apex Studio

Live

A studio that sells software should run on software it wrote, and this is that system running in production today.

See it

Functional scope

An intake wizard that walks a prospective client through scope and returns a real figure, computed on the server from a live pricing manifest rather than a brochure.

A client portal where the buyer watches their build, approves at the gate, reads their documents, and pays.

An operator console for the studio side: pipeline, acceptance gates, invoices, and the care roster.

Generation over the build catalog, so an accepted scope becomes a scaffolded project rather than a blank folder.

Users and roles

A studio, an agency, or a solo builder who sells work and needs the whole path from enquiry to payment in one place.

Workflow in practice

Enquiries arrive and quote themselves. Accepted work moves through the gates. Invoices go out and payments land against the record.

In production

  • A prospect gets a real figure without a phone call
  • Every approval is recorded at its gate
  • Around a hundred and thirty service routes behind one console

Three ways to have it

Commission, one time$65,000

Own it, one time. You receive the source, the schema, the deployment, and the documentation. It is yours.

Care, monthly$1,450

Hosting, security updates, storage, authentication, monitoring, and the hours that keep it current. Standard base, before seats.

Licensed Instance, monthly$4,150

Monthly rent, 12 month minimum. We host and run your instance under your name. Half of the first year of rent is credited toward the commission if you convert to ownership.

What Care covers
  • Hosting for the application and its database, with the compute and storage the tier needs
  • Security updates applied on a staging copy first, then to your instance
  • Storage and file delivery, including video where the system uses it
  • Sign in and authentication, kept current with the identity rail
  • Error capture and monitoring, read every week
  • Transactional mail, sent under your own domain
  • A repository security scan and a domain
  • A monthly allowance of senior engineering hours for the care routine: dependency updates, advisor sweeps, log review, and the weekly report
Licensed Instance terms
  • 12 month minimum
  • Teal Apex hosts and runs the instance under your name
  • Your data exports on request at any time
  • 50 percent of the first year of rent credited toward the commission on conversion to ownership

Figures are in US dollars; a rail shared by more than one chosen system is credited once per repeat up to 35 percent of the gross; Care Standard covers hosting, monitoring, updates and security scanning at the vendor prices of August 2026 plus a monthly senior engineering allowance; payment processing fees and app store fees are paid from your own accounts; the Licensed Instance is a 12 month minimum with your data exportable at any time.
