You're not just saving tens of thousands of dollars — you're saving months of back-and-forth with developers who don't know your business. With SmallBiz App Suite, Don builds it for you, hands it over, and you own it forever.
Want ongoing coaching & strategy after your app is live? Optional memberships start at just $29/mo.
Or the stack you're renting every month
Most small operators don't hire a developer — they duct-tape together a pile of monthly subscriptions. Here's a typical stack that covers what SmallBiz App Suite does in one app you own.

Still have a question?
Ownership, defined
“You own it forever” — and we mean it
When we say you own your app, we're not being poetic. Here's exactly what that means, in plain language.
Hosted on a major cloud platform
Your app runs on the Abacus AI platform — independent infrastructure that doesn't depend on Don Short Solutions to stay online.
30,000 free credits, renewing monthly
The platform provides 30,000 credits every month at no charge. Your app keeps running whether or not you have a membership with us.
Your own native database
Your data lives in a dedicated database that belongs to your app. It isn't shared, and it persists as long as the platform exists.
Survives anything — even the founder
Because the app lives on independent infrastructure with self-renewing resources, it continues operating even if Don Short Solutions closes. Your business doesn't depend on ours.
No lock-in. No ransom. Your app, your dashboard, your data, your customers. The optional membership adds coaching, strategy, and priority support — but your app never stops working without it.
