Dream app vs. real budget
You have a real vision, but the monthly spend still has to work in the real world.
Start with your frustration
I just wish I had this app.
Soft launch
BackTheApp is changing quickly while we tune the site and delivery flow. Please stay tuned, and thank you for your patience as the experience improves.
If you believe your idea could be worth millions and you are willing to commit a monthly amount, that is enough to start. The exact monthly number is not the point.
What matters is expressing what you need, what the app is worth to you, and what you believe other people may also value enough to subscribe.
Tell us the application value you believe in and the monthly commitment you can sustain.That comparison helps determine whether an idea is reasonable and build-ready.

Priority Engine
- What is the idea worth to you?
- What is the application value?
- What can you commit monthly?
Start with the idea, then balance value and scope to see what moves first in the delivery queue.

What do you want, what is it worth, and what can you commit monthly?
We review reasonableness by comparing expected application value with monthly commitment so delivery planning starts from reality.
Your Application Summary
Score: 267 | Rank: 1 of 4
Your idea is valued at ¤1,000,000, with application value of ¤100,000, and monthly contribution of ¤0. This represents an moderate application profile, top 3 tier—exceptional positioning against peer applications. Your commitment pattern suggests you're early exploration phase. Consider adjusting your values above if this assessment doesn't match your intentions.
These values determine your ranking. Weekly development focus is typically the top 10 by rank. Adjust values above to see your position change.

The struggle
Most app offers force people to choose between the app they want and the budget they can actually carry.
Traditional development offers are often a black box. You get a quote, a promise, and a lot of uncertainty about what features will really land first.
Black-box delivery
Most offers do not show how cost, scope, and delivery speed actually connect before you commit.
No "pay and pray"
You should not have to fund a project without understanding what gets built first and how fast progress will move.

The plan
With BackTheApp, you stay in the driver's seat.
Start with what you want, what you believe it is worth, and what you can commit monthly. That value-to-commitment ratio tells us whether the idea is practical to deliver.
1. What do you want?
Describe the workflow, customer experience, or operational problem you want the app to solve.
2. What is it worth?
Share the business value you expect from the application when it is delivered.
3. What can you commit monthly?
Value and monthly commitment together determine whether the proposal is reasonable, like $1,000 value with $50 monthly versus $1,000,000 value with $50 monthly.
Value and benefits
No more surprises. Just clarity, progress, and peace of mind.
No more waiting for features you cannot afford. No more guessing what happens next. Just a clearer path from budget to delivery.
Clear ownership boundary
The factory retains ownership while a subscription is active. Exit requires subscriber purchase and is final.
Direct fit evaluation
Ideas are reviewed for value, complexity, and delivery fit before work moves forward.
North America launch focus
Initial operations are aligned to Pacific through Eastern North American time zones.
Questions buyers ask first
The essentials, answered plainly.
How does the subscription model work?
You describe the application, suggest the monthly amount, and the work is evaluated around a subscription-based delivery model.
What can I request?
Internal tools, operational dashboards, workflow software, and customer-facing experiences are all in scope for evaluation.
What happens after delivery?
The factory retains ownership while subscription support is in play. To exit as a product, the active subscribers must purchase it, ownership transfers to those subscribers, and the application cannot re-enter the software factory for maintenance. Exit is one-time and post-exit maintenance is fully owned by the subscriber owners.
Trust and proof
As the delivery track record grows, you'll see what real investment delivers.
The blog is where BackTheApp will show delivery examples, service evolution, and the kind of outcomes customers can expect as the platform matures.
Why the landing site stays public while MCP stays protected
The landing page should remain publicly accessible, while the MCP service validates JWTs before serving protected published-content requests.

Custom domains on containerized Azure App Service are operationally manageable when the rollout starts with the `www` subdomain path and treats DNS, certificate binding, and redirect behavior as first-class work.
