ConIT AG

What ConIT AG does

ConIT AG is a boutique mobile app and web development agency headquartered in Karlsruhe/Rheinstetten, Germany, with an additional office serving Switzerland. Founded in 1986 per firmographic data (though the company website carries a 2015–2020 copyright), the firm operates with a team of 1–10 employees and delivers custom software for German-speaking enterprise and mid-market clients. Its service portfolio spans native mobile app development for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone; high-traffic web portals; enterprise CMS; customized backend development; WordPress solutions; UI/UX and design services; and product management consulting.

Beyond client services, ConIT AG operates a portfolio of self-owned consumer products, most notably AppZapp, an app discovery and notification platform claiming 2M+ users across iOS and Android, alongside iTopnews (a WordPress-backed Apple news app for the German market), Upcoming (a gadgets/deals/trends iOS app featured by Apple's editorial team), and Just Map Me. Revenue is generated through project-based custom development contracts with enterprise and mid-market clients — including Deutsche Telekom, PAYBACK, GMX, MeteoGroup, Gameloft, and ProtectStar — supplemented by affiliate monetization via the Amazon EU Partner Program and, to a limited extent, consumer-side product traction. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are quoted per project with multi-year contracts on the enterprise side.

The company's go-to-market mixes product-led distribution for its consumer apps (via Apple App Store and Google Play) with direct enterprise field sales for custom development engagements. It markets through earned media in tech publications (CNET, Wired, Macworld, Gizmodo), word-of-mouth referrals from enterprise clients, and SEO/organic presence on its corporate website. No external funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors are disclosed; the company is represented by Vorstand Sascha Brenk and appears to be founder/management-controlled.
