Add Custom Development
to Your MSP Services
Build client applications without hiring developers
Turn "we can't do that" into a new revenue stream. Deliver custom apps with your existing team.
You're Leaving Money on the Table
Your clients need custom applications, but you can't deliver them
Turning Down Requests
"Can you build us an inventory tracker?" "Can you modernize our Access database?" You say no because you don't have developers.
Can't Compete
Larger MSPs with in-house dev teams win deals you can't touch. Custom app development = competitive advantage you don't have.
One-Dimensional Revenue
You're stuck selling support hours and hardware. No recurring app revenue, no sticky services that lock clients in long-term.

Why MSPs Choose Expressible
Add a profitable new service line without the overhead
No Hiring Needed
Don't hire expensive developers ($120k+ salaries). Your existing technical staff can build apps with Expressible. One person can handle multiple client projects.
Turn Requests Into Revenue
Charge $5k-$30k per app build, then add recurring support contracts ($200-$500/month). Every "can you build this?" becomes billable work.
Lock in Your Clients
Clients who use your custom apps are 3x less likely to churn. Mission-critical business apps create switching costs that commoditized IT support doesn't.
Differentiate From Competitors
Most MSPs can't offer custom development. You can now say "yes" to projects competitors turn down. Win bigger deals and become a full-service technology partner.

Common Questions from MSPs
Do I need developers on staff to use Expressible?
No. Your existing technical team members (the folks who handle server configs, networks, etc.) can build apps with Expressible. The AI handles the coding—your team guides the requirements and customization. Most MSPs assign 1 person who becomes their "app builder."
Can I brand the apps as my own and charge my clients?
Yes. The Agency plan includes full white-label capabilities. Deploy apps under your domain, your branding, your pricing. Your clients never see Expressible. You're essentially reselling custom development as a managed service.
What if my client's app needs very specific customizations?
Expressible handles 80% of typical business app features automatically. For the custom 20%, you can export the full source code and customize it yourself, or continue building inside Expressible's code editor. You're not locked into templates—you have full flexibility.
How do I host and support the apps I build?
Two options: (1) Deploy to Expressible Cloud and we handle infrastructure, backups, security patches—you just support the business logic. Or (2) Export the code and self-host on your own infrastructure or your client's servers. Most MSPs choose option 1 for simplicity.
Can I really modernize Access databases with this?
Absolutely. Upload the Access database, Expressible imports the schema and data, then generates a modern web app with the same functionality. This is one of the most common MSP use cases—clients stuck on Access databases that need cloud migration.
What types of apps can I build with Expressible?
Any data-driven business application: inventory systems, CRMs, client portals, field service apps, approval workflows, dashboards, integrations, custom databases, and more. If your client needs a web or mobile app with forms, databases, and users, Expressible can build it.
How much should I charge clients for these apps?
MSPs typically charge $5k-$30k for the initial build (depending on complexity) plus $200-$500/month for ongoing support, hosting, and updates. Your cost is just the $999/month Expressible subscription for unlimited apps, so margins are excellent.
How long does it take to learn Expressible?
Most MSPs are building their first client app within 1-2 weeks. The Agency plan includes an onboarding session where we train your team and help you scope your first project. By your second or third app, you'll be moving very quickly.
