What It Is

Diggom is a managed mobile app development service operated by 110 Digital Labs. It is positioned not as a traditional developer tool, but as a platform-style service that “builds and continuously maintains apps for merchants.” It promises to deliver real native iOS and Android apps, which customers can publish to app stores using their own Apple Developer and Google Play accounts. Revenue also goes directly to the customer.

Core Capabilities and Technical Boundaries

Its built-in use cases are geared toward local services and membership-based businesses, including membership management, loyalty rewards, push notifications, classes/schedules/bookings, a member Web Dashboard, and donation features for churches, temples, and nonprofit organizations. According to its terms, each customer app is a configurable instance of the Diggom platform and is hosted on a dedicated Firebase project. It is worth noting that customers own their app store accounts, revenue, business content, and customer data, but the source code, templates, infrastructure, and platform tools remain the property of Diggom. In other words, this is not an outsourcing model where the source code is delivered to the client.

Pricing and Delivery Process

The standard plan is $299/month and includes apps for both platforms, an admin backend, rewards system, push notifications, submission guidance, maintenance updates, and 5GB of cloud storage. The in-app purchase tier costs $499/month. Customers must also pay for their own Apple Developer account at $99/year and a Google Play account at a one-time fee of $25. Payments are processed through Stripe, and the terms state that no partial refunds are provided for unused time. After cancellation, the app can continue running for 60 days, customer data can be exported, and the Firebase project can be transferred or deleted.

Pros and Cons

The main advantages are its low barrier to entry and suitability for merchants without a technical team. Compared with a one-off custom app build, the monthly subscription model reduces upfront costs. It also describes ownership, third-party dependencies, and cancellation mechanics relatively clearly. The downsides are also clear: customers do not own the source code and remain dependent on Diggom over the long term; exceeding the 5GB storage allowance or Firebase limits may incur additional costs; app submission still requires the customer’s own Apple/Google accounts; and the HIPAA-compliant healthcare tier is still listed as Coming soon, so it should not be treated as currently available.

Who It’s For and Access from China

Diggom is better suited to small organizations such as salons, gyms, membership-based local shops, and nonprofits that want a branded app, push notifications, and membership engagement tools. It is not a good fit for teams that need deep customization, source-code control, self-hosting, or complex development integrations. The source material does not provide details on access from China, and the service depends on Stripe, Firebase, Google Play, and the Apple developer ecosystem. Use in China may be affected by network conditions, payment availability, and app store publishing workflows. We recommend testing actual access and payment feasibility, and also considering local mini programs, domestic low-code app builders, or custom development as alternatives.
