Software that pays for itself in a quarter.
399apps exists because most business software is either too expensive, too bloated, or too closed. We are building a small catalogue of focused apps — accounting, inventory, matrimony, job portal — that are honest with their price and generous with their hosting.
Why we built this
Small businesses, communities and niche operators in India have always been served by either expensive global SaaS, or by old-school desktop software that no one wants to use anymore. We wanted to build a third option: products that feel like Linear or Stripe to use, priced like an Indian tool, and offered with the option to self-host on your own server when you need it.
How we work
We ship like engineers, not like an agency. Every product has a small surface area, a clean codebase, and a real deploy story. We support self-hosting because we think you should be able to leave us. We sell yearly because monthly billing makes us optimise for the wrong thing.
Who builds it
399apps is built, deployed and maintained by shabuilds — a small, focused product studio. The 399apps app store is one of the things we run; if you like how this works, you might want to talk to us about your own product too.
