Software Development Review from Kelly Lavelle
We hired Competenza to build a custom software tool to help manage our online bookings and product sales in one place. They designed and developed a booking system for our spa that also connected with our product store. It included custom dashboards, easy scheduling, and reports we could actually use. We saw fewer booking errors, faster checkouts, and more online sales. The system saved our staff time every day and made things easier for our customers too. They really listened to our needs and built something that felt like it was made just for us, not a one-size-fits-all. Everything was done on time and the process was smooth. Communication was clear, and they were quick to make changes when we asked.
Software Development Review from Bahaa Wahid
Competenza Innovare upgraded our platform with better video, new connection options, group ordering, and a catering tracker. They worked in clear sprints, tested across devices, and delivered on time and in budget. The backend and admin site they built make managing content easy. Communication was consistent, and they were quick to fix issues. Very organized team.
Software Development Review from Brett Danielson
They built a custom search tool for us. The system works well and saves us a lot of time. They keep up with our fast pace and still hit deadlines. Sometimes they even add features we didn’t request because they know it will help. Now we can look up customer info, shipments, and vendor details in seconds. We meet every week to go over what we need next. They fix bugs, but they also make the system easier to use without us asking. Our business changes fast, but they stay patient and flexible. They really listen and adapt. Everyone on their team wants to help us succeed.

Mobile App Development Review from Sarah Crowther
Enterprise Monkey has been an amazing team, and the support we've received from them has been outstanding. They're all invested in our success. Working with external teams can always be tricky. However, Enterprise Monkey's work culture and resource onboarding processes are excellent. We're in Virginia Beach, and they're in India. Still, they're always available. I've never experienced a long response time despite the time difference, which is commendable.We've worked with other service providers on other mobile apps that aren't under my supervision. Some of the things that make Enterprise Monkey stand out are their dependability and expertise. Enterprise Monkey delivers what they promise, indicating excellent consistency.We started working together on one project, and our engagement has led to other projects. One of these projects has been the web development one, which has been very big. Given that our organization has seen their expertise, we're now considering Enterprise Monkey for other projects.Overall, they've been very encouraging, and we've learned a lot from them. I'm sure that they've also learned from us; it's a mutual relationship.
Mobile App Development Review from Phillip Green
After partnering with Enterprise Monkey, the client booked 462 Audience, allowing the company to accrue revenue. The team was highly knowledgeable about programming. Further, they demonstrated excellent communication through virtual meetings and emails. The quality of their codes was commendable.
Mobile App Development Review from Kara Sullivan
We had weekly check-ins since the Enterprise Monkey team worked in Weekly Scrum Sprints. Communication was easy and straightforward. If questions arose from their team for ours those were quickly handled via messaging appAnd also They structured the entire project very well and easy for everybody to understand. It was easy to tell how far along they were and where hurdles or "scrum cliffs" would arise. The communication with the project lead, programmers, q&a, and the Partnerships Development Manager was very good.

Fabian Lopez's Review Sourced from Google
I’ve been working with Elegant Media as part of the early stages of my app project, and so far the experience has been great. From the start, communication was clear and professional, and the support I received, particularly from Aron, our project consultant was exceptional.Aron’s approach gave me a strong sense of trust in the company. His dedication, calm manner, and thoughtful engagement helped me feel confident in the direction of the project and in Elegant Media’s ability to deliver.Highly recommended to anyone looking for a development team that values clarity, collaboration, and quality.
Chris's Review Sourced from Google
We've used Elegant Media for the management of our app for quite a number of years, and the support has been great. Although our app is low maintenance and doesn't require a lot of support from Elegant Media, the times when we needed assistance, the team were very helpful.

I have worked with the Intuji team (formerly WEBO) on several integrations since 2022 and have found them a pleasure to deal with. Dilshad and his team of experts and good at what they do, and I continue to place my trust in their technical expertise and support. Whatever technical issues arise, they are always happy to assist to their best ability. Would highly recommend Intuji to any business/company seeking expert digital support.

Julian and Webo Designs are great to deal with. He stays true to his promises and delivers exceptional service. Highly recommend Julian and his team.
Jared Lewis's Review Sourced from Google
Julian and his team developed a website from nothing and the outcome was above and beyond our expectations. The team at WEBO Designs has continued to offer assistance and support throughout our initial and ongoing marketing campaigns. WEBO Designs not only have a great understanding of web development and marketing, but also assisted us with hosting services for emails and a number of other IT elements. We enjoyed our experience working with WEBO and look forward to working with them in the future.

Custom software development companies in Australia offer a broad range of services to help businesses streamline operations and amplify product value. Here are some of the most common offerings they provide:
While these standard services are prevalent, Australia’s diverse business market drives demand for other specialized solutions, such as AI development, blockchain solutions, and AR/VR applications.
While there is no exact data on the number of software development companies in Australia, the overall tech workforce has reached 935,000 employees in 2023, emphasizing the vastness of the industry. Our DesignRush listing features over 7,600 custom development firms, 280+ of which are based or have offices in Australia.
Here’s a breakdown of our featured agencies by company size:

| Mid-sized (50-249 employees) | 102 |
| Large (250+ employees) | 38 |
| Enterprise (1000+ employees) | 13 |
The dominance of smaller agencies can be attributed to the lower overhead costs and increased flexibility these firms offer. Mid-sized agencies, while fewer, handle larger projects that require more resources and coordination, making them an optimal choice between the smaller firms with limited capacities and larger agencies with higher service rates.
Australia software development firms charge between AUD 40,000 and 450,000+, depending on the project’s complexity, size, list of features, developer expertise, and timeline.
