Publish My Mobile App vs
Upwork & Fiverr Freelancers
TL;DR: We offer a productized, predictable outcome. No interviewing, no hourly billing, and iron-clad security. Just hand us the build, and we get it live.
Who are we building for?
We built Publish My Mobile App for indie hackers, founders, and developers who value their time heavily. Our core belief is that once the code works, you shouldn't have to deal with 50 pages of Apple documentation, code signing errors, or formatting 20 different screenshot sizes.
You hand us the bundle (or repo access), and our experts format, optimize, and argue with Apple/Google reviewers until your app is live.
Who is Upwork & Fiverr Freelancers for?
Upwork & Fiverr Freelancers primarily targets: Startups and agencies looking to offload deployment tasks.
Outsourcing the app submission process to a third-party contractor. This makes it a solid choice if you fall firmly into their target demographic, but potentially frustrating if your goal is just to "get the app launched."

Security & Trust
We are a registered business using secure access delegation. Your source code and IP are strictly protected.
High risk. You are often handing over passwords or source code ZIP files to anonymous contractors.
Rejection Handling
Appeals and metadata tweaks are baked into our pricing structure.
Freelancers often consider a 'rejection' as the end of the technical contract, leaving you stranded.
