The [mobile applications are an all-in-one solution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/business-app-pro) for streamlining the customer experience, even in today's uncertain climate. Brands that use Studio Store can highlight their offerings on a "scrollable carousel" and reach customers in that way. A secure payment process and [FedEx](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fdx) delivery are integrated into the app for greater peace of mind. For the first three months, Studio Store is offered for free to businesses and thereafter, Builder.ai will charge $500 per month. In this way, the company is able to provide relief for small and mid-sized businesses in the immediate future and a chance to test out if the platform is the right solution for them in the long-term.
