We run a chamber or an association. Is this for us?

It is the kind of member tool a chamber asks about. Cahoots is a product from the same bench; a tool for your members would be scoped in writing before any build.

Should my business have an app like this?

Probably not. Cahoots shows the range of the bench: a web and iPhone product with matching and chat. Most owner-run businesses need something smaller, and we say so.

Is this a client project?

No. It is a product from the same bench. Benchford has no client builds to list yet, and every screen shown on this site is demo data.

What would a build like this cost?

A Blueprint writes the scope first: $500 for a Focused build or $1,500 for a Complete one, credited in full if you sign within 30 days. The builds are Focused $4,950, Complete $9,850 and Build + Extend $22,500, fixed.

Cahoots: Business Matching App

Web
iPhone (TestFlight)
In testing

From the same bench, not a client project. The web app is experimental; the iPhone app is in testing on TestFlight.

What it does

Each line is something the product does today. Nothing here is a plan.

Screens from the demo mode

Who asks for something like this

Chambers of commerce and business associations, more than single businesses.

What a build like this involves

A build like this is scoped in a Blueprint, then priced as one of the published builds. The price is fixed before the build starts.
