IsmailApps is a software product studio
for founders and SaaS teams

SaaS · AI · web & mobile apps
from first scope to production

Past the prototype.

We take SaaS and AI products from an idea, or from what you built with AI tools, no-code or a freelancer, to software that holds up with real users, real data and real payments. And we run our own.

Where is your product today?

Most projects start in one of three places. Each has a clear first step, and we take it from there to production.

  1. v0

    An idea.

    You know the problem and the customer. Nothing is built yet, or only sketches.

  2. v0.xour specialty

    A prototype that strains.

    Built with AI tools, no-code or a freelancer. It demos well, and breaks once real users arrive.

  3. v1.x

    A live product.

    Customers depend on it. You need features, AI work, integrations or upkeep without a new hire.

From first call to v1.0.

One accountable lead, a fixed quote, and a staging link you can click early.

  1. v0.1

    Scoping sprint

    We pressure-test the idea and agree scope, flows and architecture.

  2. v0.3

    Fixed quote

    A written plan and a fixed price before the build starts.

  3. v0.6

    Build, with staging access

    You click through a working staging build early in the project.

  4. v1.0

    Launch

    We deploy to your accounts and hand over.

  5. v1.x

    Ongoing care

    Maintenance and new features, or a clean handover to your team.

you own

The repository, hosting and accounts, from day one. If you ever want to work with someone else, nothing has to be handed back.

Shipped, and still running.

Client products and websites we've worked on, as they look in production today. Our part on each is stated plainly.

  1. live · supervise.work

    Supervise

    A productivity tracker for managers. It pulls team activity from Google Sheets, Google Docs, Figma and GitHub into one dashboard, so teams track results instead of hours.

We run software too.

Hamstalk is ours from the first sketch to the server bill: five-minute German lessons set in a real workday (standups, bug reports, coffee breaks), built for software engineers who want to work at German software companies.

Running our own product keeps our decisions honest: what to cut, what to ship first, and what breaks once real people depend on it. Client work gets the same judgement.

A small studio, on purpose.

One person scopes every project and stays accountable for it, from the first call to maintenance.

That's Ismail, who has spent more than five years building software for clients. When a project needs more, a dedicated team joins: the right people for the work, without an agency's overhead.

Questions founders ask

How much does a project cost?

Every build gets a fixed quote after the scoping sprint, so you know the price before work starts. The sprint itself has a fixed price too. The project form asks for a rough budget range so we can tell you early whether we are a good fit.

Can you take over a product built with AI tools, no-code or a freelancer?

Yes, it is one of our core services. We start by reviewing what exists, then tell you plainly what can stay, what needs hardening and what should be rebuilt. Not every prototype is worth saving, and we will say so when one is not.

Can you work on an existing SaaS product?

Yes. Product engineering & maintenance is a monthly arrangement for teams that need features, AI work, integrations or upkeep on a live product.

Who owns the code and the accounts?

You do, from day one. The repository, hosting and third-party accounts are yours, and we work inside them.

Where are you based?

IsmailApps is run from Pakistan and works with clients in Europe and the United States.

What happens after launch?

Either we keep going on a monthly engineering arrangement, or we hand over cleanly to your team, with the code and accounts already in your name.

Do you build websites?

Yes, conversion-focused websites for software and service businesses. It is a smaller part of what we do; most of our work is SaaS and AI products.

How do we start?

Tell us where your product is today through the project form. We reply by email and suggest a call; if it is a fit, the usual next step is a scoping sprint.
