Empat Reviews & Testimonials
Angie Tromley-Morales, PMP CEO at House Caddy
5.0★
Mobile App Development Review from Angie Tromley-Morales, PMP
We hired Empat to design and build the MVP of House Caddy, a household management app that keeps receipts, warranties, manuals, and repair history in one place, with reminders for expiring warranties and maintenance. The product also helps homeowners prepare a full digital home history for future property transfers.Empat delivered end-to-end work: discovery, UX/UI design, Flutter mobile development, and a Python backend. They implemented a clear flow where users first create home appliances/systems and then attach documents and repairs to each item.A major highlight was Empats AI expertise. AI features simplify the entire user journey by auto-filling appliance details from photos/docs/links, assisting with utility provider setup, and importing contacts to speed up adding contractors. This reduced manual input and made onboarding fast and intuitive.Communication was excellent, with proactive brainstorming, clear sprint updates, and on-time delivery. The MVP is market-ready, early feedback is very positive, and Empat proved to be a reliable, product-driven partner with strong mobile, backend, and AI capabilities.

Mark Joy Founder at markhjoy.com

Mobile App Development Review from Mark Joy
Dima S. responded to one of my job postings on Upwork for creating an audio-related application. He explained the estimated cost of developing such an app, and advised that it would be much more costly than I had anticipated. I was not familiar at all with the costs associated with developing apps, so his explanation was very helpful.He saved me money by going above and beyond to research existing apps that provided similar functionality to the requirements I was seeking. He also found instructions for using native Apple settings for audio that would solve my problem. The settings he found even allowed import of an audiogram that I had gotten at the audiologist for my specifc problem.Though he did not end up developing an app for me, Dima saved me a ton of money by spending his time to research possible existing solutions which I had not found during my own search.I would highly recommend Dima for his level of care for projects and his customers.

WordPress Website Design Review from Anna Abdulova
Working with CitrusDev was very comfortable and convenient.CitrusDev developed a website (WordPress) for me with the services I provide to my clients.Since I have a shortage of time, it was important that the team did not need my constant involvement in the process.After discussing all the details, we met a few times to decide on further actions and make corrections.The work format was convenient and clear. And most importantly, it was flexible.The team responded quickly when changes were needed and gave advice for better results.I am happy with our joint project and want to thank CitrusDev for their professionalism and ease of work.Thank you.And I recommend them.

PawtrackGPS's Review Sourced from Google
We approached Flynn Product Designs back in 2015 for help with our GPS cat collar. It was far too bulky and heavy. Chris understood the core issues, and set about resolving them in a new and fresh manner. Starting from scratch he re-engineered the design to provide us with a cutting edge solution which was unique on t he market. In terms of effort he went far, far beyond what would be expected, and helped us out for the next 12 months all the way to launch and production.We have continued to work with Chris, and we are looking forward to launching our new model with him in the next month. He is conscientious, dedicated and will do his best to make sure that the project develops as you want.

Reviews verified by DesignRush and sourced from the agency's profile View All Reviews
What is an IoT (Internet of Things) development company?
An IoT development company is a specialized company that provides custom solutions, devices, applications, and software underlined by IoT technology.
This technology enables businesses to control their connected devices remotely while improving their security, efficiency, and productivity through better monitoring and automation.
How does an IoT agency help businesses build connected products?
An IoT agency helps businesses build connected products by guiding them through the entire development process, from strategy and design to hardware selection, IoT software development, data integration, and security implementation.
It builds IoT systems, software, and hardware to help businesses solve digital challenges and explore new revenue streams. IoT solution providers also integrate these systems into existing IT environments and provide continuous maintenance and support to businesses.
Which industries benefit the most from IoT development services?
Manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, retail, energy, and transportation industries benefit the most from IoT development services. They use IoT for predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring, process automation, and enhancing customer experiences.
Smart cities, telecom, and financial services also take advantage of IoT for connected infrastructure, network management, and security. Overall, sectors with asset-heavy operations or high data demands benefit the most through improved efficiency, cost savings, and better service delivery.
What are the top-rated IoT development companies on DesignRush in 2025?
Top-rated IoT development companies on DesignRush in 2025 are the following:
What’s the cost range for IoT development in 2025?
IoT development companies charge $5,500 on average for IoT prototyping. A minimum viable product (MVP) can cost between $30,000 and $50,000, with a finished project running up to millions of dollars.
The significant variation in pricing stems from the fact that rates are predominantly influenced by the project's complexity, scale, and timeline.
How quickly can an IoT development company deliver a prototype or solution?
An IoT development company can typically deliver a prototype in 4-12 weeks, depending on complexity, available hardware, and required integrations. Simple proof-of-concepts (like basic sensor-to-app connectivity) may be ready in a month.
A full production-ready solution often takes 3-9 months, depending on custom hardware design, security requirements, regulatory compliance, and scaling needs.
What should you look for when selecting an IoT development partner?
When selecting an IoT development partner, look for the following:
Proven IoT experience
Solid hardware and software integration knowledge
Familiarity with security and compliance
Expertise in cloud and scalability
Cross-industry insights
What warning signs indicate that a potential IoT development company may not be the right fit?
A potential IoT development company may not be the best fit if it shows some of the following warning signs:
Absence of case studies
Outdated tools and technologies
Lack of robust security protocols
Frequent reports of downtime, hacks, and compliance issues
Vendor lock-ins
Poor collaboration skills
High employee turnover rate
What key questions should you ask before hiring an IoT development company?
Before hiring an IoT development company, ask the following questions:
Have you worked with similar companies, industries, or projects before?
Can you walk me through your IoT development process?
What technologies, programming languages, and platforms do you use to build an IoT system?
What are your systems for securing data collected on IoT devices? How do you ensure legal and ethical compliance?
What security protocols do you have to safeguard against security breaches and potential cyber-attacks?
How much do your services cost? Do you charge per hour, per month, per result, or a flat fee?
What is my estimated project timeline?
How will you integrate the IoT solution with my current tech stack?
How does IoT development differ from standard software or embedded systems projects?
IoT development integrates hardware, connectivity, and cloud systems, requiring expertise in sensors, communication protocols, and real-time data handling. Traditional software focuses mainly on apps or servers without managing physical devices.
Unlike embedded systems, IoT extends beyond standalone device logic by enabling internet connectivity, remote updates, and large-scale data analytics. It emphasizes scalability and security, while embedded projects usually focus on localized, device-specific functionality.
What platforms and frameworks do top IoT agencies use?
IoT agencies use the following platforms and frameworks:
Cloud IoT platforms: AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Google Cloud IoT, IBM Watson IoT, Oracle IoT Cloud
Industrial/IIoT platforms: Siemens MindSphere, ThingWorx, Cumulocity IoT, Arm Pelion
Embedded firmware and RTOS: Mongoose OS, Apache Mynewt, RT-Thread
Data and messaging tools: Apache IoTDB, Apache Kafka
Prototyping and visual tools: Node-RED, Arduino, PlatformIO, ThingSpeak
How legitimate is the FAQs?
Our goal is to equip businesses and agencies with practical and accurate information, which is why we partnered with Chike Agbai, founder and CEO of Azumo, a leading IoT company. He provided his technical expertise on the qualities to look for when selecting a development partner.Â
Chike Agbai spent nearly two decades as an investment banker on Wall Street, where he advised leading software companies such as Oracle, Salesforce, and Dell on high-stake transactions, before founding Azumo in 2016. Under his leadership, Azumo has grown into a multi-million-dollar business, creating software solutions for global brands like Meta, Discovery, and Zynga, as well as high-growth startups.Â
