What can a consumer applications mentor offer compared to a consumer applications consultant?

Typically, consumer applications consultants charge a high consulting fee. But consumer applications mentors work by the “done-with-you” approach. This will allow you to learn how to enhance your consumer applications on your own, eliminating the need for expensive consultants or agencies.

Consumer applications mentors will focus on:

  • Cost-Effective Expertise and Support: Because mentors are passionate about helping others, they’ll provide you with support and advice for consumer applications without the steep fees.
  • Tailored Guidance: Your mentor will examine your specific situation and provide step-by-step walkthroughs of consumer application management.
  • Actionable Advice: A consumer applications mentor won’t leave you with a bunch of nonactionable theory. Instead, they’ll walk you through exactly how to start implementing their advice.

What can a consumer applications mentor do for me?

Most consumer applications mentors have developed and enhanced numerous applications over their careers. Some have even been working with consumer applications since the early days of mobile and web platforms.

These mentors have the real-world experience you need to give your applications an edge.

With a mentor’s advice, navigating app stores and user expectations will be less of a mystery. You’ll understand what limits your app’s visibility, what can get your app rejected or poorly reviewed, and what features and designs tend to resonate better with users.

For more advanced app developers, a mentor can walk you through niche targeting tactics, detailed frameworks to test features and user interfaces, and how to manage large development and marketing budgets. They can even show you examples of their own projects so you can learn from them.

So you can achieve greater user retention and satisfaction with less time, testing, and money, regardless of your experience level.

Cost Comparison: Consumer Applications Consultants vs. GrowthMentor

When it comes to consumer applications consulting, traditional consultants typically charge between $100 to $200 per hour, depending on their level of expertise and reputation. And when you’re already investing in app development, the costs can add up fast, especially for startups who need ongoing support.

In contrast, GrowthMentor offers a much more affordable and flexible solution. For just $99 per month, you get unlimited access to dozens of consumer applications mentors. This flat monthly fee means you don’t have to worry about hourly rates and dread charges for follow-up calls.

Consumer Applications Consultants:

  • Hourly Rates: Typically range from $100 to $200 per hour, depending on expertise and reputation.
  • Total Cost: For multiple sessions, costs can quickly add up, making it expensive for startups and small businesses.

GrowthMentor:

  • Monthly Rate: $99 per month for unlimited sessions.

GrowthMentor also allows you to connect with different mentors, rather than locking you into an exclusive contract with a consultant. You can chat with a variety of experts and learn from their perspectives.

By choosing GrowthMentor, you’ll get continuous, tailored guidance from experienced consumer applications pros, all without the hefty price tag. Which means you have more in your pocket to put towards app development and marketing instead.

Why should I trust GrowthMentor’s mentors?

Excellent question. After all, the “mentorship” world is full of high-priced consultants, armchair analysts who have never done the work themselves, and outright snake-oil salesmen looking to make a quick buck.

But, there are plenty of experts out there who want to share their experience and knowledge. At GrowthMentor, we’re lucky to have 700+ of those experts.

The secret comes from our vetting process. We not only double-vet all of our mentors so only the top 3% makes it through our process, we also look at their soft skills. Because no one wants a mentor who’s a snob or a jerk.

On top of it, 85% of our mentors don’t charge an extra fee. Why?

The short answer: Because they want to help people.

The long answer is because…

  • They enjoy sharing their knowledge
  • They learn from their mentees
  • They want to be a “force for good” in the business world
  • They want to pay it forward

But don’t just trust our word on it. Hear from the mentors themselves.
