“Other app developer quoted 10X the price to create a live testable version. DreamLabs pricing structure has meant we can quickly get the app in users hands and see what they think!”
Jenn Brooks · Founder & CEO @ Nurture
As a fractional product team, we start by defining your vision and sharpening your strategy. We don’t just say “yes,” but always ask “why?”, helping your dev budget go further and faster.
We use AI-accelerated development to help teams of all sizes launch custom, scale-ready digital products. Ship in days/weeks, not months/years.
User testing is a bonus service we offer to all clients for free. This means we learn together from real users with each release.
[What We Do]
Our process for Calabasas clients pairs AI-assisted architecture and implementation with hands-on senior engineering review at every stage, across iOS and Android. AI accelerates the repetitive groundwork; our engineers and designers spend their time on the interface details and platform-specific polish that determine whether an app feels premium or merely functional.
We move from requirements to a working prototype quickly, then iterate with you in short, visible cycles, so you're seeing and reacting to real screens early instead of waiting months for a single reveal. Continuous integration and automated testing run throughout, keeping the build stable as we move fast.
Calabasas clients, many in wellness, beauty, and lifestyle retail, often need apps built around booking, membership, or personalized content, and we scope for that during discovery rather than defaulting to a generic template. The result is a mobile application that performs reliably and reflects the standard of the brand behind it, delivered on a timeline that AI-enabled development makes possible without asking you to compromise on quality.
[Deliverables]
Custom mobile apps for Calabasas wellness, beauty, and lifestyle brands, built by senior engineers using AI-accelerated development to deliver a refined, on-brand product without a six-month timeline. We manage the full build, from architecture through app store launch, with close attention to the details that signal quality to a discerning customer base.
Cross-platform mobile applications from a single, AI-accelerated codebase for Calabasas businesses that want to reach iOS and Android at once. AI-enabled workflows speed up implementation while our engineers retain full ownership of security, performance, and long-term scalability.
Booking, scheduling, and membership functionality built into a custom mobile app, tailored to how Calabasas wellness and lifestyle clients actually run their business. AI-assisted development speeds up implementation while our engineers handle the integration and edge cases a generic booking plugin usually misses.
[FAQs]
Prototypes start at $6,000 and full MVPs at $15,000. Our AI-enabled process typically brings a custom cross-platform build to around $20,000 all-in, delivered in about 6 weeks, versus roughly $200,000 and 6 months at a traditional agency. That efficiency means a Calabasas wellness or lifestyle brand can fund a genuinely custom app on a budget that used to only cover a much simpler build.
Most projects ship in about 6 weeks with our AI-enabled process, compared to the roughly 6-month timeline common at agencies relying on fully manual development. Senior engineers review everything AI helps generate, which is part of why a typical build runs around $20,000 instead of the roughly $200,000 a traditional shop might charge.
Yes. We build booking and membership functionality directly into a custom app rather than bolting on a generic plugin, so the experience matches your brand and handles the specific edge cases your business runs into. AI-assisted development speeds up implementation while our engineers handle the integration work by hand.
We frequently work with wellness studios, beauty and lifestyle brands, and boutique retailers, along with founders launching new consumer products. Every engagement gets the same fractional product team, design, engineering, and product management working together, so the finished app reflects both technical quality and brand judgment.
[01] Product Strategy
We start by helping you define your long and short-term product visions. We then break down the concepts into concrete features and functions, so we can piece them back together into a prioritized roadmap.
[02] Development
With the framework pinned down, we go heads-down on execution. We leverage AI-powered tooling and a modern Flutter + Firebase stack to develop your product in record time.
[03] Polishing + Launch QA
Your finished product to ensure that each feature works seamlessly, every color is precise and all copy is ready for publication. We then manage the entire app publishing process on mobile, web or both.
