What we build

THE QUICK TAKE

Fixed scope · No hourly billing

Bolder Apps builds video features on Mux: direct uploads from the app, encoding, adaptive bitrate streaming, signed playback for paid content and short-form vertical feeds. Typical builds include creator and social feeds, coaching and course libraries, and member-only video.

The kinds of things operators ask us to ship.

No fluff. These are real builds operators in the field actually need.

Social

Short-Form Video Feed

Vertical video upload and a swipeable feed with fast start times on mobile networks.

Learning

Course and Coaching Library

A video library gated to subscribers, with signed URLs so paid content cannot be shared.

Creators

Creator Uploads

Direct uploads from the phone, processing status and thumbnails, without routing large files through your servers.

Streaming

Adaptive Streaming

Every upload encoded into adaptive streams on a global CDN, so video plays at the best quality each connection allows.

Typical project range

$20K–$55K+

Fixed-scope. No hourly billing. We quote it upfront andwe ship it.

Typical timeline

Bold Answers to Bolder Questions.

Can't find what you're looking for? Get in touch with our team.

Why Mux instead of storing video files ourselves?

Mux encodes each upload into adaptive streams that play smoothly on any connection, and bills by usage, so you avoid building and running your own video pipeline.

Can you protect paid video content?

Yes. We use signed playback URLs tied to the viewer's entitlement, so only paying users can stream.

What does Mux cost to run?

Mux bills by usage, mainly stored and streamed minutes. We estimate the monthly cost from your expected uploads and views during scoping.
