App Licenses

Build free apps, upgrade when you're ready

How much does Median cost?

There is no cost to build a Median Free app for non-commercial purposes. When published to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store your app will display a small "Powered by Median.co" message at launch and the JavaScript Bridge will not be available for advanced integration options.

To build a completely white label app with full JavaScript Bridge capabilities a Median Starter license can be purchased directly within the App Studio on the Billing tab.

In addition to the app license, we offer a variety of optional add-ons and services. These include:

  • Push Notifications using our integration with OneSignal or through other push notification providers.
  • Native Plugins that provide access to a range of device functionality and third-party services.
  • A Business plan, where our team handles and completes all app development work to produce a publish-ready app using the Median platform.
  • An App Store Publishing service, where our team completes all steps that are required to publish your app to the app stores and guarantees successful approval.
  • Custom development to extend the Median platform to integrate third-party SDKs and add advanced functionality for your specific use case.
  • And more!

How many apps can be published with each license?

Each license allows you to publish one app, which includes versions for both iOS and Android devices. Your license is attached to your iOS Bundle ID and Android Package Name. To ensure there are no license issues during your initial app release and future app updates verify that these identifiers within your app on our platform match your app listing within your Apple App Store Connect and Google Play accounts. More information on App Identifiers.

For our partner development agencies who are building many apps, we offer volume-based pricing.

How do I apply my license to my app?

When you purchase a license directly in the App Studio your app will be automatically licensed. If you have purchased a license directly from Median you will need to apply your license to your app in the App Studio using the license key provided by email. Click the ⋮ dropdown button next to your app name in the left navigation menu and select "Apply Existing License".

After applying your license, you do not need to rebuild or re-download your app. Make sure your iOS Bundle ID and Android Package Name are set correctly.

I receive an error saying my app is not licensed?

It’s important that the iOS Bundle ID and Android Package Name on your license match the identifiers you are using to publish your app. Contact Median Support if you need to update these values on your license. If you worked with a third-party developer to build your app make sure they are an approved partner and/or you have received a valid Median license. More information on App Identifiers.

What kinds of support does Median provide?

We receive a high volume of emails and our dedicated team aims to respond to all email inquiries as soon as possible. However, we prioritize Business and Enterprise customers who have an active support plan and we prioritize to meet the SLA terms set out in such plans.

You can learn more about the support options available in Support.

Is there a discount for an Android-only or iOS-only license?

Unfortunately, we do not discount our license for use on a single platform. Our platform is designed to create one full-featured app with iOS and Android versions and we are not able to license an app for a single platform or for a subset of features.
