What is the difference between a template and a head start?
Same app for everyone, or yours from the start.
A template
Everyone gets the same one.
- The same pages and the same layout, with your logo swapped in.
- Their sample prices and features, until you rebuild them by hand.
- The parts that take payments and logins are yours to wire up.
A head start
It builds yours.
- Your name, your prices and your brand, from a sentence you can change first.
- Payments into your own Stripe, logins and your Admin, already working.
- Yours to keep: export it and run it on any server with Node and Postgres.
QuestionsHead starts,
Head starts,
answered.
Is this a template?No
No. A template is the same app everyone gets with the logo swapped. Here you pick a business and it builds yours: your name, your prices, your pages and your brand, from a sentence you can change before it starts.
My business isn’t on the list. Can I still build it?Yes
Yes. These are head starts, not the limit. Describe your business in the idea box in your own words, and it plans the app around what you wrote.
Can I change it after it’s built?Yes
Yes. Ask for changes in plain words. Every change builds on a draft you preview first, and your live app only updates when you publish.
What does it cost?Real dollars, on a receipt
Planning is free. Building is paid in real dollars on a receipt, or a fixed price from $29 agreed before it starts. Hosting is free and never sleeps, your own domain is from $8 a month, and our payment fee is 1% or less.
Where does the money from my customers go?Into your own Stripe
Directly into your own Stripe account. Lynqly never holds it.
What can’t it build?Live, real-time features
Live, real-time features: GPS tracking, live maps, video calls and instant chat. Texting isn’t switched on yet either, so confirmations go out by email. It tells you up front rather than over-promising.

Or describe yours in one sentence. Plan it free, and see the full price before you spend a dollar.
