Flyaps Reviews & Testimonials
Andrew Stetsenko
Founder at GlossaryTech, backed by Dice
5.0★
Python Django Review from Andrew Stetsenko
We partnered with Flyaps to build the GlossaryTech Chrome Extension from scratch, including the backend for tech terminology analysis.
The goal was to help recruiters, sales professionals, and other non-technical specialists in IT quickly understand the technical terms they encounter every day.
The first release shipped back in 2017, long before today's AI tools were available off the shelf. Flyaps built a custom tokenization layer on top of NLTK library to resolve the ambiguity problem - distinguishing "Go" the language from "go to the shop," or "Swift" the framework from the adjective, while also correctly recognizing multi-token terms like "Ruby on Rails" or "Amazon Web Services".
It was a pragmatic, precise solution that made the extension genuinely usable from day one.
The outcomes have validated that early bet. GlossaryTech now holds "Featured" status in the Chrome Web Store, has passed 25,000 downloads, and consistently serves 10,000+ weekly active users and 2,000+ daily active users. For a niche professional tool, that level of organic, sustained engagement is rare - and it traces directly back to the technical foundation Flyaps put in place.
Beyond the engineering, what stood out was how Flyaps engaged with the product itself. They contributed to architecture decisions, flagged edge cases early, and treated scope conversations with honesty rather than upsell. Communication was straightforward throughout, deadlines were met, and the codebase has held up well as we've extended the product over time.
I'd recommend Flyaps to anyone looking for a partner who combines solid engineering with genuine product thinking. They've been central to GlossaryTech's success and continue to be a team we trust.

Software Development Review from Dariia Ryzhova
Our collaboration with Flyaps has lasted for several major projects, of which I personally worked with them on two.
I am very satisfied with the level of expertise (both technical and domain), the involvement and responsibility of the teams, and the quality of delivery.
We successfully brought 2 major products to life together.
Flyaps teams have diverse specializations, so I had the opportunity to attract consultants from different fields: software developers, including high-level architects, DevOps, QA, and business analysts.
The teams have a modern technology stack and are experienced in Agile development. This allowed for smooth integration with internal teams and processes.
It is also important to note that Flyaps provides technical consulting on demand, and this was very valuable service as well. Overall, I can recommend working with Flyaps as a reliable and high-quality partner.

ТОВ ХОТНАЙТС's Review Sourced from Google
Flyaps delivered outstanding results for our e-commerce store! They built a visually stunning and high-performing website that perfectly captures our brand. Since launching, our site speed has improved by over 60%, and we've seen a noticeable increase in our conversion rate. Their team's technical expertise is top-notch, and the new admin panel they created has made managing our operations so much easier. I am happy to recommend this team of professionals.

I have had an positive experience working with Exaud on expanding and maintaining several software products. Our software consulting technology stack is quite wide, from embedded development to mobile game dev, making it challenging to find the right partner knowledgeable in a number of these areas. The Exaud team is professional, flexible and continues to provide the development expertise we require to fulfill our project needs on time and budget.

We have a very long history of working with Exuad, which in itself is about the best endorsement you can have. We have been working with them on projects for going on 10 years and they are our go to external dev team. Georg and team are not only very talented they are highly ethical. To me the later point is the most important, you can trust that they will provide high quality work and you can absolutely trust them on the business side.

Product Design Review from Sofia Diaz
I had an idea and vision, which intent helped me bring to life. We required a platform that would be usable on different types of mobile and desktop devices, as well as work on different browsers.
We went through the process of designing the product and building an MVP. Their UX designer evaluated the mockups I gave them. Then, they gave me some suggestions on how to improve the product and provided a UI designer, who built the interfaces.
From there, intent handled the following stages of product development. We went through several iterations based on user feedback for the MVP, and every feature was QA-tested before release. Now, we continue to improve the product on a monthly basis.

CTO & CEO at VCPR.ORG
4.8★
Web Development Review from James Leonard Ehrlich, DVM
I wanted to outsource front end development while maintaining back end services myself.
They started with existing React SPAs, cleaned them up, found and removed bugs, improved user interaction, made clear requests for new endpoints which I implemented and they tested and used.
The time difference between my office in eastern USA and theirs in Moravia worked well, as we could meet at their afternoon/my morning and I had the rest of the day to deal with back end or questions they might have.
Their professionalism and competency were impressive.
I will continue working with them, for years, I hope, in maintenance mode or when we need to expand features.

Aman Setia's Review Sourced from Google
The worst experience with the company. First they will call you and will ask you to go for 2 hours exam just like a half yearly or annual exam conducted during school time. After that they will ask you to wait for long. The interviewer will come and will ask only about your past company to attain it's strategies to move ahead and then they will ask you to go as we have a negative results regarding you. They will make you feel comfortable as if you will be selected and then the interviewer himself will be unsecured after seeing your profile, aa you are going to be a threat to them. As of now, they are not having any urgent requirements but calling you to waste your precious time only. Prefer not to go for an interview over here.

Squareboat has been a special part of my journey as a Mobile Engineer for the past 2 years (and counting). What truly makes it a great place to work is the people. You’re surrounded by incredibly smart driven individuals. That’s what makes showing up to work every day genuinely enjoyable.
From collaborating on diverse, challenging projects to learning from peers across different teams, the experience has been both rewarding and memorable. The culture is relaxed yet focused, and there’s always room to grow, explore, and contribute meaningfully. Highly recommend it for anyone looking to join a solid tech team!

Experience at Square Boat has been awesome! I've felt super welcome from day one. Even though I'm just an intern, I feel like my input matters and I've had chances to develop skills I didn't anticipate.
I'm early in my professional journey, but working at Square Boat has given me a real glimpse of what quality service actually looks like. The dedication to clients is genuinely inspiring.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI Development Agencies
What is the total cost of AI development?
The total cost of AI development ranges from $50,000 to over $1 million, depending on whether you are buying an off-the-shelf artificial intelligence solution or hiring a custom AI development company.
Typical ranges are:
Project Scope
Typical AI Use Cases
Cost Range (USD)
Expected Timeline
Pilot or Proof of Concept
Simple chatbots, internal assistants, early prototypes
$15,000–$40,000+
1–2 months
MVP or Mid-Level Build
Automation tools, analytics systems, small GenAI solutions
Tools choice (open-source vs proprietary): 5% to 15%
Long timelines and extended engagement: 5% to 10%
Regulatory and compliance work: 5% to 10%
Testing, validation, maintenance: 10% to 15%
What is the timeline from signing the contract to the first live use case?
The timeline from contract signing to the first live AI use case typically ranges from 2 to 18+ months, depending on project scope and complexity. Most AI development companies deliver value in phases, starting with a live pilot before expanding.
AI development timeline from contract to first live use case:
Project Type
Typical Use Case
Time to First Live Use Case
Proof of Concept (PoC) or MVP
Simple chatbot, internal assistant, RAG prototype
4–8 weeks
Mid-sized custom AI solution
Invoice automation, CRM agent, analytics tools
4–6 months
Enterprise AI platform
Multi-agent systems, regulated workflows, supply chain AI
9–18+ months
The first live use case is usually a limited but real deployment, not a full rollout.
Top AI software development companies start with a PoC or MVP to validate data, workflows, and adoption. Enterprise AI takes longer due to security, compliance, integration, and operational readiness.
What is the typical ROI for AI solutions?
Across enterprise and B2B use cases, studies consistently show an average return of about 3.5× for every $1 invested, with top performers reaching up to 8× returns.
Most organizations see meaningful ROI within 12-18 months, and many deploy their first production AI use case within 6-12 months, which is when returns usually begin.
What is the difference between Generative AI and non-GenAI?
Generative AI (GenAI) uses the patterns it has learned to create something entirely new that didn't exist before. In contrast, non-gen AI is designed to analyze, classify, and predict based on existing data.
Use GenAI when you need innovation and synthesis. If you need to brainstorm marketing copy, summarize a 50-page transcript, or generate a prototype logo, you want the "creator."
Use Non-GenAI when you need accuracy and consistency. If you are predicting stock prices, diagnosing a disease from an X-ray, or calculating the fastest route home, you want the "judge" who focuses on facts and patterns.
Take a look at their main differences:
Area
Generative AI (GenAI)
Non-GenAI (Traditional/Discriminative)
Core function
Generates new content
Analyzes or predicts from existing data
Typical output
Text, images, audio, video, code, or summaries
A label, a number, or a probability
Flexibility
High
Medium to low
Predictability
Lower
Higher
Risk profile
Hallucinations, data leakage
Model bias, data quality
Best use cases
Assistants, copilots, content, exploration
Fraud detection, forecasting, optimization
Governance needs
High
Moderate
Are there regulations on AI?
As of 2026, there is no single U.S. federal AI law. AI studios operate under a mix of existing federal rules enforced by agencies like the FTC, SEC, EEOC, and CFPB, which apply consumer protection, privacy, and anti-discrimination laws to AI systems.
Federal policy is currently shaped mainly by Executive Orders and agency guidance rather than a comprehensive statute.
States are moving faster. Colorado has passed strict rules for high-risk AI systems used in hiring, lending, healthcare, and housing, while California focuses on transparency and algorithmic bias.
Because state and federal rules often clash, many AI development agencies simply adopt the strictest state standards to ensure nationwide compliance.
Key regulations to watch:
Executive Order 14365: Pushes toward a unified national AI framework and limits conflicting state AI laws.
Colorado AI Act (SB 24-205): Sets compliance duties for high-risk AI systems starting February 1, 2026.
TAKE IT DOWN Act: Requires removal of non-consensual and harmful AI-generated deepfake content, enforced at the federal level.
What are the most requested AI development services at the moment?
Currently, the most requested AI development services are LLM integration with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), along with AI agent development.
According to Diffco, the demand for traditional machine learning models is declining, largely because businesses seek complete systems rather than standalone models.
