Market
Choicely app platform can be used by a large number of segments. However, Choicely is targeting media, sports & entertainment segments, while testing multiple other segments with a smaller number of customer apps. Already these 3 segments offer opportunity for building 50k+ apps and multi-billion dollar annual revenue with SaaS based apps.
Problem or Opportunity
2020s is the decade of native apps. No-code app building is one of the TOP10 tech trends in 2021, recognised by medias like Forbes.
Native apps significantly grow engagement, sales, data ownership and customer loyalty. Most apps are still built as custom projects making them expensive - $100-300k / high quality app + 10% maintenance / year. Codeless app building platforms like Choicely make it possible to build same level high quality apps with low SaaS fees and cut a production time of 6-12 months to a couple of days. This tech leap enables also SME businesses to use high quality apps.
Solution (product or service)
Choicely enables building and launching high quality apps in a few days with SaaS fees starting at €499 / month. The solution is a no-brainer for entire industries like media, sports, entertainment, travel etc as the platform cuts pricing of high quality native apps to a fraction of the price of custom built apps. Choicely platform also provides the most advanced app CMS for updating the apps, the market leading fan engagement tool set and instant scalability to millions of users - making Choicely a one-stop-app-shop for a large number of businesses globally.
