To launch an app on Taptool, your business must be recognized as a legal entity. This means your business must be a corporation, limited partnership, or limited liability company.
How Do I Sign Up?
Taptool offers a free plan which gives you access to design and preview your app. On this plan, we recommend that you take advantage of designing your mobile app and schedule a demo with our Brand Experience team to ensure you're getting the most out of Taptool!
Considerations
Although Taptool is a white-label solution, we include small Taptool branding in lower subscription plans.
There are additional fees for the Apple and Google Play developer programs that are not included in your plan with Taptool:
Apple Developer
- To host an app in the Apple Store, there is an annual $99 fee and it is recommended to set this to auto-renew when creating your account.
- When creating your account, you will be asked about the business type. You will need to select the following:
- Individuals or Sole Proprietors/Single-Person Businesses: Apps will be listed under the developer's personal name.
- Organizations: Apps will be listed under the organization's legal entity name. Companies and educational institutions need to provide a free D-U-N-S Number registered to their legal entity during the enrollment process.
- Please select Organization when creating your account. Otherwise, your app will be listed under your personal name and you will not be able to add other collaborators to your account.
Google Play Console
- To enroll in a Google Play Developer account, there is a one-time $25 fee. You must also have a Google email account to sign up.
Both Apple and Google fees may change at any time and may include taxes.
