Web Development Review from Undisclosed
Amidst a considerable range of vendors that took part in the official RFP process, Apptension stood out. Its proposal resonated seamlessly with Cannabis Company's prerequisites, leading the client to entrust their project to Apptension's proficient team of front-end developers. The objective was to develop a front-end solution for an internal business management tool, and the client is optimistic about the journey ahead with Apptension.
eCommerce Development Review from Bettina Huang
A contemporary art retailer initially enlisted Apptension to create its MVP, which was successfully launched in May 2021. The collaboration expanded into ongoing development and maintenance. The client also collaborated with Apptension on a distinct UX research project. Adhering to tight schedules and budget constraints, Apptension adeptly delivered a complex product, showcasing its commitment and capability. (Verified via email)
Software Development Review from Sinead Catney
The Mill asked Apptension to create a CMS that manages the client's app and website. The CMS handles diverse app components, including a huge gallery, localized content, and interactive user-focused copy. The product boasts eight engaging challenges and rewards, interactive gameplay, and a shareable filter. The platform integrates dynamic gallery and text elements, all managed through the CMS. Through the agency's ongoing maintenance support, the collaboration was extended. (Verified via email)

Software Development Review from Slava Kostiuk
We initially approached UASOFTDEV with a relatively straightforward request: a WordPress website and a Senior React/Node/Python Developer for backend and API development. What impressed us immediately was how quickly they understood our needs and delivered relevant candidates. We received the first 5 candidates within 60 hours, exactly as promised. The developers were skilled, experienced, and cost-efficient, so we decided to continue working with UASOFTDEV. Later, we returned with a much more complex project: an already-live AI beauty ecosystem combining a Smart Mirror, mobile app, AI skin analyzer, and AR makeup. This required a Senior Flutter Engineer who could join an existing team and work with Flutter, Banuba SDK, Java/native technologies, and a production environment. UASOFTDEV matched us with a senior Flutter engineer within 60 hours. He integrated quickly into our existing team and provided the 24/7 production support we needed. During the 5.5-month engagement, we delivered 10+ major features, shipped 15+ releases across 3 product environments, and launched 2 premium subscription features. What we valued most was the consistency of their approach. Production issues and new feature requests were handled quickly, communication was personal and responsive, and the team remained highly engaged throughout both projects. The fact that we came back to UASOFTDEV with a second, significantly more technically demanding AI/AR project is probably the strongest proof of our satisfaction. They successfully scaled from a simple staffing request to supporting a complex live product without losing the same level of responsiveness, quality, and personal attention.
DevOps Consulting Review from Khrystyna Sliana
We hired a DevOps engineer from UASOFTDEV to handle a multi-entity AWS infrastructure split. The project was completed on schedule, with zero downtime and great attention to security and data integrity. Recommended.
Dedicated Team Augmentation Review from Leonid Viktorov
I am the CEO of Biz Adviser, a business consulting company. We work with companies on strategic business initiatives, digital transformation, and improving business performance. We partnered with UASOFTDEV when we urgently needed additional engineering capacity. I was looking for proven senior developers and did not have time to spend weeks sourcing candidates and conducting multiple interviews. UASOFTDEV offered to provide vetted Ukrainian developers within 60 hours, which was exactly what we needed. The team provided senior engineers with strong technical expertise and excellent communication skills. We worked with developers across PHP, Node.js, Python, and React, depending on the project requirements. They were reliable, proactive, and able to understand not only the technical tasks but also the broader business context. The developers contributed to several important initiatives, including the implementation of an AI agent, and helped us move projects forward faster while keeping development costs under control. UASOFTDEV delivered what they promised. The process was straightforward, communication was reliable, and the developers were able to start working quickly without compromising on quality. The pricing was a good fit for our budget, and the overall value for cost was excellent. I also appreciated the cultural fit and the team's ability to communicate effectively and take ownership of their work. I would definitely recommend UASOFTDEV to companies looking for reliable staff augmentation with senior Ukrainian developers. They are a trustworthy partner that can provide strong engineering talent quickly and help businesses deliver important initiatives without the overhead of a lengthy hiring process.

We were so positively surpised and happy about Sigmas services - as usual I might add. It is a pleasure working with their software engineers. After we provided a briefing, the effort estimation came right away. Shortly after the project started we could see first tangible results. The code quality was excellent and comprehensive. Minor feedback was implemented right away. What can I say more: 10 out of 10 points!

Web Development Review from Lathan Ashton
RichestSoft was tasked with taking our existing templates, upgrading them to the latest version of our CMS, and deploying them to a staging environment. They also updated the designs for all subsections of the site. The site is fairly generic, consisting of static pages with links from the homepage to product descriptions, case studies, and more. Our team can easily log into the CMS and update case studies without needing a web developer, which has been a huge advantage. Our primary concern was the seamless conversion of our old templates, and RichestSoft handled this flawlessly. They even suggested ideas like making the site multilingual, though we only needed an English version, so it wasn’t necessary in our case.
Web Development Review from Robbie Hart
The website now has a more modern and appealing feel, and we've noticed an increase in the number of visitors since working with RichestSoft. They effectively leverage their technologies, and their communication and timeliness have been satisfactory throughout the project. Our business is centered around land development and industrial projects, supported by a team of IT professionals that manage the technology driving our operations. Our mission is to provide quality and satisfaction by utilizing our knowledge, experience, and ambition to meet and exceed our clients' expectations.
Web Development Review from James Shehan
RichestSoft consistently delivered on a complex and demanding project, handling all tasks with efficiency. Whenever any bugs or issues surfaced on the site, they promptly resolved them. While there have been occasional communication challenges, none of these have affected the high-quality and cost-effective service they provide.
American AR and VR companies help businesses enhance employee training, user engagement, and operational efficiency by building immersive and interactive experiences for high-value use cases.
For instance, Airbus and Boeing equipped their mechanics with AR headsets to aid product assembly and inspection. As a result, they improved production quality by over 70%.
On the other hand, healthcare institutions have observed advances in patient care. One study reports an 88% of post-cardiac surgery patients reported lower pain levels after VR pain management sessions.
In retail, select brands have observed a 40% increase in conversions and 65% uptake in sales when customers interact with AR technologies.
To choose the right company, compare their experience, process, and past work with your project goals.
Follow these steps:
If you need help finding a US-based AR or VR agency, visit our Marketplace and submit your project requirements. We’ll match you with five top candidates for free.
Before requesting a quote from a VR or AR agency, having a few key details prepared will help ensure more accurate estimates and smoother discussions.
First, define your project goal. Are you aiming to improve employee training, enhance customer engagement, support sales, or optimize operations?
Clear goals help agencies align their proposals with your priorities.
Second, establish an approximate budget range.
Immersive projects vary widely in cost, but many pilot or proof-of-concept projects fall between $25,000 and $75,000, while more advanced custom solutions cost $100,000-$350,000.
You should also consider your preferred timeline, user personas, target devices (mobile, AR wearables, VR headsets, or a mix), and whether the project is intended as a one-off experience or something that will evolve over time.
Next, compile all the information into a clear and concise brief.
Note that the brief doesn’t have to be technical. But it should eliminate the guesswork, so agencies can deliver proposals that align with your expectations.
From there, agencies can recommend appropriate platforms, devices, and development approaches.
Before hiring a VR or AR company, consider asking these questions to evaluate competence and compatibility:
First-time VR or AR clients should avoid these early missteps that limit impact and increase costs if not addressed early:
Working with an experienced VR or AR agency helps avoid these pitfalls by providing structured guidance, realistic planning, and informed technology recommendations, especially for first-time adopters.

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) companies in the US provide end-to-end development to deliver custom, reliable, and user-friendly solutions. Their core services include:
AR and VR companies in the USA charge between $25,000 for the simplest solutions to over $500,000 for enterprise-grade products, with hourly rates starting at $100-$250.
Total cost varies based on project complexity, platform requirements, and the level of customization involved.
Below is a general breakdown of typical project types and their associated cost ranges:
| Project type | Typical cost range | Description |
| Simple AR experiences | $25,000-$60,000 | WebAR campaigns or marker-based mobile AR applications with limited interactivity and standard assets. |
| Entry-level VR experiences | $60,000-$120,000 | Basic VR simulations, commonly used for training or demonstrations, with predefined environments and interactions. |
| Mid-complexity AR/VR projects | $150,000-$350,000 | Custom 3D assets, real-time interactions, backend integrations, and tailored user experiences. |
| Enterprise-grade AR & VR Platforms | $500,000+ | Large-scale deployments with multi-user functionality, analytics, system integrations, and advanced security; costs can reach seven figures. |
Industry benchmarks indicate that annual maintenance costs typically range from 15% to 20% of the initial development cost.
This typically covers bug fixes, engine updates, content enhancements, performance optimization, security patches, and compatibility work for new operating systems and platforms.
However, major upgrades can increase AR/VR maintenance spending to 20%-30% of the initial costs. Examples of these cases include adding a new device, engine migration, and architectural refactoring.
Additionally, complex AR/VR solutions, like multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG), can incur a 20%-30% maintenance fee tied to hosting, server operations, and more rigorous regression testing.
Ongoing support helps ensure long-term stability, performance, and adoption, particularly for enterprise-level VR and AR applications.
Building a custom experience can take weeks to years, depending on its complexity.
Simple breakdown:
What drives the timeline:
They work across a wide range of industries, with the strongest adoption in sectors where immersive technology improves training, visualization, and decision-making.
According to Perkins Coie’s survey, these are the industries adopting AR and VR:
