      Mobile App Development Review from John Laporte

      Designli helped us define the requirements, features, and user experience for an app for our motorcycle organization. They produced technical documentation and a clickable prototype covering navigation, member tools, and safety features. They were responsive, delivered on time every time, and turned our broad concepts into something people could actually click through. The prototype got our stakeholders aligned, earned internal approval, and set us up for engineering, and working out design questions early should save us rework later.

      Mobile App Development Review from Brandi Heffner

      Designli built our SaaS product from scratch, using AI to speed up development, with AWS and Cloudflare in the stack, and they also handle our hosting and maintenance. We had a working MVP in just 30 days and have kept adding features since. In the first 60 days they went beyond what we expected, largely because they took the time to really learn our business and our market. Coordination through Basecamp and Google Meet has kept everything organized.

      Mobile App Development Review from Thomas Simmons

      Designli took over app development and marketing for our driving school, with the goal of building a product we could eventually offer to other schools. Within two and a half months, the app was up and running in our own school. Their project management is excellent, and they push back constructively, thinking through what we actually need instead of building every request as-is.

      ELEKS was able to take our vision and help us deliver an app that empowers retail shareholders to make their voices heard. They’ve brought a depth and breadth of technical expertise and user experience design to challenge us on our assumptions on how people would want to interact with the app. From a mobile development perspective, we wanted to go to market with both an Android and an iPhone simultaneously.

      Worked with CP for years, but when it became apparent that they were doing little to no work on our account, (we could track when they logged in, what they did, etc.), we ended our services with them in a normal/ professional manner. Their response was to sabotage our account on their way out, turning off and pausing various campaigns and ads. Toxic masculinity at its finest.

      Justin Hilty's Review Sourced from Google

      Same bad experience as the other reviews elsewhere online (yelp for example). Company took a LOT of money from us to migrate our Magento site. A year later, they couldn't make it work (didn't have the technical expertise to do what they promised) and abandoned the project all together. We had to start all over from zero with a new developer. Would have sued them, but got the feeling based on conversations with the owner that the business is cratering around him anyways. I do not recommend hiring them for any kind of large project whatsoever. If you do, don't pay until it's 100% complete, or you could waste your money and precious time like we did.

      SDTC Digital built our website and did an outstanding job from start to finish. Anytime we needed something adjusted or added, they turned it around fast and got it exactly right, no back and forth or long delays. Their communication was great throughout the whole process. Since the site went live it's brought in real business for us, not just a page that looks nice and sits there doing nothing. If you're looking for a team that actually delivers and backs it up with results, I'd recommend SDTC Digital without hesitation.

      Software Development Review from Niclas Manson B.Kin, MPH, CRSP, CIH, ROH

      SDTC has been developing custom software for Manson Methods Inc. They have delivered good products but still required robust testing and fixes due to bugs. SDTC staff are very good at taking informaiton and delivering the vision. There have been times where they delivered feature but did not match our vision. I believe this is a fault of our not being clear enough or providing details or pictures to help with the vision. I also find the delivery times were a littel slower in august and september vs June and July. Overall I am very satisfied and hoping the feedbacks cna be implemented.

5 Frequently Asked Questions About AI App Development Companies

How much does it cost to build an AI app?

Simple AI integrations using third-party APIs (e.g., OpenAI or Anthropic) or off-the-shelf builds can cost about $5,000-$20,000. For instance, a chatbot or search engine recommendation system.  

More complex AI applications with custom workflows, multiple integrations, and a polished UI range between $100,000 and $250,000. Enterprise-level builds that require custom-trained models and large-scale data pipelines can cost over $500,000. 

How long does it take to build an AI app?

A basic MVP using a pre-trained or off-the-shelf model can take around 2-3 months. A mid-complexity app, with custom features, multiple data sources, or advanced workflows, may need at least 4-11 months to build. 

Ultimately, the AI application development timeline will depend on your project's scope, complexity, security and compliance requirements, and business readiness. 

What is the difference between using an existing AI API vs. building a custom model?

An existing AI API (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) offers access to a pre-trained model through a paid subscription or usage fee. This model is faster to launch, has lower upfront costs, and requires no in-house AI expertise to maintain. 

A custom model is built and trained on your own data, providing more control over accuracy, behavior, and proprietary advantage. However, it costs significantly more, takes longer, and requires ongoing retraining and infrastructure.  

Consider choosing custom AI if you have niche domain data, strict compliance requirements, and AI is your main differentiator. 

What AI features are worth adding to an existing app?

The AI features worth adding to an existing app will depend on your core business needs, goals, and existing tech stack. 

For companies moving beyond isolated AI features, AI-native workflow redesign involves rethinking processes around AI rather than simply adding AI tools to existing workflows.

The same study also found that 44.4% of tech founders believe that automation is the most beneficial AI feature, followed by customer personalization (22.2%) and AI-assisted productivity features (22.2%). 

How do you ensure data privacy and data security?

Reputable AI app development companies will isolate your data through encrypted storage (at rest and in transit), strict access controls, and clear data-handling agreements with any third-party AI providers used. 

To confirm the AI application development company’s legitimacy, consider the following: 

  • Search for compliance certifications relevant to your industry (e.g., HIPAA, SOC2).  
  • Require a written data processing agreement (DPA), which outlines where data is stored, who has access, and how it’s deleted.  
  • Obtain a copy of the AI API’s Terms of Agreement. It should explicitly state that the company and its model do not use your data for training.
