When to Adopt Peko: Agencies Shipping Frequent iOS and Android Client Builds
Should our agency adopt Peko as a compliance layer for client mobile app submissions, and at which tier? Adopt Peko's free CLI lint on every client build first, then upgrade to the $20/month Pro tier only when a client needs interpretive audits or privacy form answers.

“Should our agency adopt Peko as a compliance layer for client mobile app submissions, and at which tier?”
Adopt Peko's free CLI lint on every client build first, then upgrade to the $20/month Pro tier only when a client needs interpretive audits or privacy form answers.
Agencies subscribe to Pro or Max before validating Peko's findings against a real client build, then discover the interpretive audit output still needs human review and the retainer price did not account for that review time.
The free tier already runs all 46 mechanical rules with unlimited lint runs and keeps code on the agency's machine, which covers the most common rejection triggers at zero cost. The $20/month Pro tier adds 10 interpretive audits per month against 326 rules, which is the point where policy prose gets mapped to specific code findings. For agencies managing multiple clients, the $1,500 App Store Readiness package turns that capability into a billable deliverable rather than an internal cost.
- •The agency ships or maintains at least 3 iOS or Android client builds per quarter, where a single app store rejection costs roughly two weeks of delivery delay.
- •Client codebases include third-party SDKs or data collection patterns that trigger Apple ATT or Google Play data safety requirements.
- •The agency already runs GitHub Actions or a CI/CD pipeline and can add a lint step to pull requests.
- •A client has received at least one rejection or policy warning in the past 12 months and is asking for preventive coverage.
- •The agency wants to productize compliance as a standalone offer, such as the $1,500 Peko App Store Readiness package with 12h setup.
