What a PairIP project costs
Projects start at $120. That covers one defined piece of the app taken from behind the wrapper and returned as a callable interface: a working client in Python, JavaScript or TypeScript, an importable Postman collection, and documentation for the calls in scope.
Most PairIP jobs are delivered in 24 to 72 hours. The clock starts when the APK and any account access needed to reach the full application flow arrive.
The quote is fixed before work begins. If the review turns up an access step it did not see, the scope is adjusted at that point rather than at delivery.
What pushes a quote above the starting price
The starting price assumes one flow behind the guard and no second protection layer. Four things move it.
- The full application flow needs a signed-in or paid state. An account, a paid feature, a device registration step or a server-issued token has to be reached and captured before the endpoint can be reproduced and tested. Each one adds setup to the review.
- A second protector sits under PairIP. An app can go through a commercial protector at build time and then get wrapped by Play at distribution. String encryption, class encryption or control-flow flattening changes how the request logic is read, and that work happens after the PairIP question is settled.
- The signature routine is native. When signing happens in a JNI method inside a shipped library, the analysis follows values across the Java and native boundary and then reproduces the algorithm in the delivery language.
- The full application flow is in scope. One endpoint costs less than every workflow in the app. A full reconstruction carries more endpoints, models, session rules, error paths and integration tests.
What PairIP does not change
The wrapper does not encrypt the app's traffic, so it adds no decoding step to each request. Endpoints, request signing, session handling and payload construction stay where the developer wrote them. A PairIP-wrapped app with a plain HTTP client is still a plain HTTP client to analyze.
What the wrapper changes is where the work starts. The guard covers the application entry rather than the HTTP layer, and it runs once per process start. Analysis begins by getting past that gate and then reconstructs the normal request flow behind it.
What PairIP adds to a build
PairIP is applied when Google Play distributes a submitted build. The developer does not add it and the repository does not contain it. The wrapper repoints the application entry in the manifest to com.pairip.application.Application, adds libpairipcore.so for each ABI the app ships, and adds a license package that can tie launch to a Play install.
Google applies the wrapper at distribution, so two builds of the same app can carry different guard versions with no code change on the app side. Anchor the quote to a specific APK or store listing rather than to the app in general.
How the quote is built
A quote starts from the APK or the store link plus the action your system needs to perform. The review checks the manifest entry point, the native libraries present, how the full application flow is reached, and whether the endpoint needs account state. The reply names the functions in scope, the delivery format and the proof used to accept the work.
Send five things to get a firm number:
- The APK or the store link.
- The action your system has to perform, and the endpoints it touches.
- The language the client runs in.
- Whether the result has to run unattended.
- Any account access needed to reach the target screen.
