Why publishers invest in apps

Build a direct audience relationship, not another rented reach channel.

The platform creates the conditions for stronger loyalty, better-timed engagement and new mobile revenue inventory. The result still depends on the quality of your content, promotion and commercial plan.

01
A direct audience channel
An app gives readers and supporters a route back to your brand that is less exposed to changes in search rankings and social distribution.
02
More reasons to return
Followed teams, saved topics and a familiar mobile experience help turn occasional visits into a regular habit.
03
Alerts people choose
Send breaking news and live match alerts to the readers who asked for them, based on the teams and topics they follow.
04
A more relevant feed
Readers choose teams, competitions, sections and topics, so the app can put the most useful coverage first.
05
Insight from your own channel
See how people use the app and what they follow, subject to their consent and the privacy rules that apply to you.
06
More commercial inventory
Plan mobile advertising, sponsorship, subscriptions and premium access within the product rather than around it.
07
One publishing workflow
Publish from one CMS to app, web and widgets, without asking editors to repeat the same work in separate systems.
08
A product that stays maintained
Hosting, monitoring, platform updates and support continue after launch at the level agreed with you.

Product tour

Two workflows, start to finish.

Step through how a story reaches a reader, and how a live match reaches a supporter.

Conceptual demo interface — not a released customer product

Follow a story from the newsroom to a reader's lock screen, and back as insight.

White-label delivery

Your brand takes the credit. Judge us by the product.

Most of our work is delivered under our customers’ brands. Rather than publish work we cannot share, we help you examine the workflows, technical fit and delivery plan for your own app.

01

Explore the product

Follow a publishing or live-score workflow in our interactive tour. The screens are labelled concepts, so you can judge the approach without mistaking a demo for a customer launch.

02

Test the fit with your team

Bring your content, existing systems and must-have features to a guided demo. We’ll separate what is already available from configuration, custom development and third-party dependencies.

03

Review the delivery plan

Before you commit, agree the scope, acceptance checks, costs and operating responsibilities. Review hosting, maintenance and support alongside the app itself.

How to evaluate iPublisher

Pricing, explained

A lean setup. A clear monthly service.

Start with a lean setup, add the customisation your app needs, then pay a monthly retainer for the agreed platform and service. We quote after understanding your scope and expected traffic, with one-off costs, recurring fees and any data licences clearly separated.

  1. Layer 1

    Platform subscription

    A monthly retainer for the platform modules you choose and the maintained core. Your proposal states what is included and any audience or usage limits.

    Price drivers
    • Modules in scope
    • Number of apps and brands
    • Platforms (iOS, Android, web)
    • Audience scale
  2. Layer 2

    Implementation & customisation

    A lean one-off setup for standard branding and configuration, plus separately agreed customisation when your product needs more. Both are defined before work starts.

    • Integrations required
    • Content migration
    • Custom features
  3. Layer 3

Questions

The things buyers usually ask first

Is iPublisher a software platform or an app agency?

iPublisher is a SaaS publishing platform. We configure it for your organisation and can add agreed extensions, but your app continues to run on a maintained product rather than a one-off agency codebase.

Why is there no fixed price list?

We quote after understanding your product scope, customisation and expected traffic. A lean setup fee, any agreed custom work and the monthly retainer are set out separately, along with third-party costs and the services included in your retainer.

Do we need a sports-data licence?

Yes, if the product includes live scores or match data. The licence comes from a sports-data provider and varies by sport, competition, depth and distribution rights. We help define the requirement and connect the licensed feed.

Who owns the app store accounts and the app?

Store accounts are typically held by you, and the apps carry your brand. We prepare submissions; approval is decided by Apple and Google.

Who maintains the app after launch?

iPublisher continues to handle the platform hosting, monitoring, updates and agreed store maintenance. Your contract sets out the support level and the responsibilities on both sides.

Can we start small and add modules later?

Yes. Mobile Apps are the usual entry point; CMS & Web, Live Centre, Widgets and Integrations connect when you need them.
