Publication options
Before the first release, choose whose Apple and Google accounts will host the app. In both cases, SiteCargo handles the build and publication, and you retain access to the builder settings.
Comparison
| Your company's accounts | SiteCargo's accounts | |
|---|---|---|
| App listing location | Your company's accounts | SiteCargo's accounts |
| Access to store consoles | Your company has access; SiteCargo receives the required permissions | SiteCargo manages publication; the client has no direct access |
| What you need to provide | Active developer accounts and access for SiteCargo | App materials; your own developer accounts are not required |
| Setup and publication | $499 one-time | $1499 one-time |
| Support and updates | $49 per month | $499 per month |
Choose your company's accounts if you need direct control over the store listing. Choose SiteCargo's accounts if you also want SiteCargo to manage the developer accounts.
When publishing using your own accounts, you pay separately for registration and renewal, keep agreements up to date, and grant SiteCargo permissions through invitations. You do not need to share passwords or two-factor authentication codes. See Connecting developer accounts.
How to choose
- Click “Release application”.
- Choose a publication option.
- Review the one-time and monthly costs, then click “Confirm release”.
A request and a setup and publication invoice will be created under “Billing and finances”. Confirming a request does not mean the app is already published: preparation, building, and store review follow.
Check the release dialog and invoice for current amounts. The first month of service after the first publication is free — see Charge calculation.
Setup and updates
One-time setup covers the first release: project configuration, build preparation, and materials for store submission. If you need help with the icon, store text, or screenshots, provide the source materials and agree on the result with the team.
For later “Release update” requests, the publication option stays the same and no new initial setup invoice is created. Agree on website changes and new native features separately. Discuss paid digital features and subscriptions before release as well: their terms are not determined solely by the SiteCargo plan.
You can change the option before the first publication. After that, switching through the dashboard is unavailable.
