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.

Jimmy's Review Sourced from Google
Shaun, Dave and the team at Launchlab took my startup from idea to product launch. To say i am a massive promoter of these guys is an understatement. The level of diligence, responsiveness, thoroughness and capability far exceeded any expectations i had for a software development project. The team, led by Shaun, made this experience very simple for me. They were flexible and were always conscious to make sure the key decisions along the way, aligned with my vision. These guys should be every Australian entrepreneurs software developer of choice!
Emmy Arthurson's Review Sourced from Google
Working with Shaun and Dave from Launch Lab on OX Rooms has been a fantastic experience! Choosing them to develop our platform and website was one of our best early decisions. After meeting with several development teams, it was clear that Launch Lab not only understood our vision but could also deliver a top-quality product.Launch Lab consistently delivers high-quality work and is responsive to any issues that arise. They communicate directly and don’t waste time, keeping the scope on track while remaining flexible with adjustments and always bringing solutions—not problems—when challenges come up.Shaun and Dave have been invaluable partners, making it enjoyable and rewarding to work together on OX Rooms. I look forward to our ongoing collaboration and reaching new heights together!I highly recommend Launch Lab to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable development team!
Russ Watts's Review Sourced from Google
I've just completed a project with Launch Lab and it's the second time I've worked with them on launching a website (for two different companies, APositive and Waddle). I can't praise them highly enough. When I got the opportunity to build a new website, my first thought was 'speak to Shaun'. They know exactly what they are doing, I trust their recommendations completely and their work is of the highest quality. From beginning to end everything has gone smoothy and professionally. Highly recommend!

Daniella Gergis's Review Sourced from Google
What a wonderful experience I received from Alex and the team to design my website. The communication has been a great experience, and I can't thank Alex and his team enough for always ensuring that his clients get the best outcome. I'm beyond grateful for designing a website that I had in mind and making come to what I had expected. The honesty I received from Alex has made me feel reassured and comfortable, I highly recommend his services and his team!
Daniel Reid's Review Sourced from Google
Honestly could not speak higher of Alex and his team at Shtudio. We have been working with them for 3 years, building a very complex and custom operational system for our rental business. The complexity of the project could not be understated but Alex and his team have always been able to engineer, develop and implement a solution that works in an incredibly fast, cost-effective and professional manner. We have also built numerous custom features for our website with speedy delivery and a very high quality of workI don't often leave reviews but I truly cannot recommend Alex and Shtudio, high enough!

WMI's Review Sourced from Google
Professional, very fairly priced, and cater to the needs of those not so tech savvy. Definitely 5/5
Mitch Wright's Review Sourced from Google
Being a newer company and having not gone through a major project development process before, myself and my team were a bit overwhelmed, and required external developers to assist us. From our very first interaction, Theo and Declan have been absolute rock stars, and without them, we would be have been completely lost.They are extremely talented, affordable, professional, but most importantly, they are direct and are great at managing expectations. They told us exactly what could and could not be achieved in the timeframe/budget allotted, and presented us with milestones that accurately conveyed what was being designed during that period.While our current project has finished with them, we will absolutely be working with them in the future, and definitely recommend Graviton!

To further highlight the benefits Australia software development firms can deliver, our researchers have highlighted the following case study:
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:
| Agency size | Number of agencies |
| Small (Under 49 employees) | 133 |
| 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.
Some companies charge depending on the software development lifecycle (SDLC) phase, specifically:
