$600 makes me think it’s mostly boring ops stuff, not Apple fees. Nonograph looks like a web app, so there shouldn’t be code signing or the $99/yr Apple dev program unless they shipped an iOS/macOS client too. If they used something like Vercel/Render/Fly plus a managed DB, you can hit a few hundred fast just from first-year hosting + domain + email/monitoring, especially if they prepaid anything annually.
