We design, build, and run custom apps for studios, golf courses, marinas, hotels, and restaurants. Live in 30 days, from $4,900 + $490/mo — with payments through your own Stripe account and a customer list that belongs to you.
Before we built apps for clients, we built them for ourselves. Three products, designed and shipped end to end. See the full story of each →
Problem: planning a golf trip means spreadsheets and group texts. Build: course discovery, group trips, and AI itineraries in one app. Outcome: a live product that plans real trips end to end.
Problem: every baby tracker charges a subscription for basics. Build: a free tracker with AI pattern insights for tired parents. Outcome: shipped, free — it's why we hate software rent too.
Problem: market data platforms are complex and slow. Build: a real-time data pipeline with AI-assisted signals in a clean interface. Outcome: live data at scale, running every trading day.
CornerBeacon is an AI-native custom app development company for services and experience businesses. We design, build, and run custom booking apps — your brand, your customers, your Stripe account — for one setup fee and a flat monthly, usually less than owners pay to rent vertical software. Live in about 30 days.
Vertical platforms charge you monthly, upsell you a "branded app," take a commission on marketplace bookings, and mark up your card processing — and the customer relationship still belongs to them.
If your customers book time with you, an app you own beats software you rent.
Run a plant, not a front desk? See industrial digitization — we turn paper logs into apps too.
A 30-minute conversation about how your business books today, what you're paying to rent software, and what your own app should do. No pressure, no jargon.
One setup fee and one flat monthly, in writing. No hourly meters, no scope surprises, no per-booking fees.
We design and build your app on proven booking foundations, migrate your customers and schedule, and launch under your brand.
Hosting, support, and 2 hours of changes included monthly. Your app keeps improving instead of quietly raising its own price.
Every tier includes booking, payments through your Stripe, customer profiles, reminders, push notifications, an owner dashboard, hosting, and support.

Yes. The app carries your brand, the customer data is yours, and payments run through your own Stripe account. We build it and run it for you, but it's your asset — not a subscription you're locked into.
Launch — your branded booking app — is $4,900 to build and $490/mo to run. Grow adds an AI receptionist and automated campaigns at $7,900 + $890/mo. Replace, a full custom platform for larger operators, starts at $15,000 (quoted). Every tier includes booking, payments through your Stripe account, customer profiles, reminders, push notifications, an owner dashboard, hosting, and support with 2 hours of changes included each month.
We build with an AI-native process on proven vertical templates — booking, payments, profiles, and reminders are already engineered, so the work is tailoring them to your business and brand. That's also why it costs a fraction of a traditional agency build.
You keep the app. We provide a hosting handoff so it keeps running wherever you take it — that's what owning it means.
If the subscription, add-ons, and per-booking fees are cheap for what you get, keep it. Most owners we talk to are paying $300–$1,600 a month across subscription tiers, branded-app add-ons, marketplace commissions, and inflated payment processing — and the customer list still belongs to the platform. Owning your app usually pays for itself, and the customers become yours.
Yes — migrating your customer list, schedules, and upcoming bookings from your current system is part of every build. Your customers download your app and pick up right where they left off.
A plain-English guide to bringing your business into the AI era — what to automate first, what it really costs, and a 30-day plan to get your first win live. Free, instant download.
