Platforms from one codebase

What you get

A marketplace designed for how your market actually works.

Sign-up

Phone-first, WhatsApp-first

Sign-up with a code sent over WhatsApp or SMS. No passwords to forget.

Payments

Local payment rails

Mobile money, in-app purchase and admin grants, all confirmed on the server before access is given.

Trust & safety

Reviews, reports and bans that work

Report profiles, products and chats. A ban signs the user out and blocks messaging, reviews and listings.

Operations

A dashboard your team runs it from

Marketplace health, moderation queues, payments, subscriptions and support tickets in one place.

Search

Never an empty results page

Search widens from neighbourhood to region to country while newer areas fill up.

One codebase

iOS, Android and web together

Every feature reaches every user at once, for the cost of building it once.

Add-on

AI that gets buyers talking to sellers.

Smart matching, suggested first messages and listing quality checks. This is new work on a marketplace build, scoped and cost-capped in the audit, the same way we built AI Help for BrightMinds.

Smart matching

Show each buyer the providers most likely to fit their request.

Suggested first message

Help buyers start the conversation, so browsing turns into contact.

Listing checks

Flag thin or low-quality listings before they go live.

Pricing

Fixed prices, published up front.

A senior, founder-led studio, priced below local agencies. You always know the cost before work starts, and changes are quoted before they're built.

How a Build works
  1. Step 1

    Audit from $2k

    We map your workflow, scope the app, estimate AI running costs and give you a fixed quote.

    Credited in full toward your build

  2. Step 2

    Build fixed quote

    Design, development, QA and App Store launch. Paid 40% at start, 40% at beta, 20% at launch.

    Miss a milestone through our delay and that milestone is 10% off

  3. Step 3

    After launch from $400/mo

    Care plan: updates, OS releases, monitoring and fixes. Growth plan from $2.5k/mo adds new features every month.

Prices in US dollars, excluding taxes. Third-party costs (app store fees, hosting, AI usage) are passed through at cost.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask us

Do you take a commission on our marketplace?
No. You pay for the build and, if you want it, a monthly plan. Your marketplace revenue is yours.
Can it handle our local payment method?
Usually, yes. Telead takes subscriptions through Apple and Google in-app purchase and through MMG mobile money in Guyana. We check your payment provider's API in the audit.
How do you stop scams and fake profiles?
Reports on profiles, products and chats, moderation queues for your team, and bans that sign the user out immediately and block them from messaging, reviewing or listing.
Does Telead use AI?
Not yet. AI matching and suggested first messages would be new work on a marketplace build. We'd scope and cost-cap it in the audit, the same way we did for BrightMinds.
Why fixed price? What if we need changes?
The paid audit produces a written scope, and the build is quoted against it. If you want something new, we quote it before building it, so there are never surprise invoices. If we miss a milestone date through our own delay, that milestone is 10% off.
How do payments work?
The audit is paid up front and credited in full toward your build. The build is paid 40% at the start, 40% at beta, and 20% at launch. After launch you choose a Care plan (from $400/mo) or a Growth plan (from $2.5k/mo), or neither.
You're in India. How does the time difference work?
Gulf clients: we overlap your whole working day (India is 1.5–2.5 hours ahead). Australia: your afternoon is our morning. Caribbean: you get a written update every day and calls in your evening. Everyone gets a working demo every week.

Tell us about your marketplace. We'll tell you what it takes.
