Bookings & services
Booking apps and service marketplaces, live in weeks.
Cambalache is a product studio in Buenos Aires that designs and builds software for businesses that sell their time: booking apps, scheduling, payments and marketplaces for professionals. We built Turnau, a booking platform for service professionals with native Android and iOS apps, launched in 12 weeks; Ocupados, a marketplace to find verified tradespeople in Buenos Aires; and GoudGigs, the operations app for freelance live-event techs in the United States.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Have you built booking apps before?
Yes. Turnau is a booking platform for service professionals in Argentina, with online booking in under 60 seconds, WhatsApp reminders and native apps, built in 12 weeks. Ocupados is a marketplace to find verified tradespeople nearby in Buenos Aires, and GoudGigs runs contracts, availability and time sheets for live-event freelancers in the US.
How much does it cost to build a booking app?
It depends on the scope. A booking app or service marketplace usually starts from one of our fixed-price packages: Validate, $3,900 in 2 weeks for one core flow or one automated process; Launch, from $8,000 in 8 weeks; or Scale, from $15,000 in 10–14 weeks for marketplaces and heavy integrations. You get the exact price and launch date in writing before any code is written.
Can you build the iOS and Android apps too?
Yes. Turnau shipped with native apps on Google Play and the App Store. Native apps are quoted separately from the Launch package, and every account is yours on launch day.
How long does it take to launch?
A focused first version usually fits our Launch package: 8 weeks, fixed price. Platforms with several sides or heavy integrations take 10 to 14 weeks on Scale. The launch date is agreed in writing before we start, and it is guaranteed.
