      Software Development Review from Claus-Peter Mueller

      We have engaged Infinum to develop an app that would digitalise our leasing process. From creating the initial offer through the necessary financing application and client identification to the final signature – all the steps required to successfully lease a vehicle or other object can be performed in-app, freeing the users of friction and having to deal with tedious paperwork. The app itself in the background has 30+ integrations, while keeping a seamless and quick to follow process on the front for our users. That application is in production and Infinum is responsible for maintaining it and further improving. After the initial development, we have additionally expanded our scope from vehicles to other equipment. They have also developed a Leasing widget, product which enables quick financing model while purchasing a vehicle online on car seller marketplace pages. At this moment, we are still in partnership with Infinum, and their engagement is mainly focused on localising the app to other countries and supporting us in our further business expansion. The work performed was done in Ruby on Rails and React technology, with support of other services.

      Thanks to Infinum's website refresh, the client has seen an almost 100% improvement in their website's conversion rates. The team excels at project management, using the client's own proprietary tool and also Figma very well. Their proficiency in design, delivery, and client relations stands out.

      Mobile App Development Review from Dr. Lesley Kirkpatrick, MD

      I had a great experience working with Tepia. Abraham, the Founder and CEO, was available, helpful, and actively involved throughout every stage of the process. Kimmy, my assigned project manager, was organized, responsive, and clear in her communication from start to finish. They anticipated potential obstacles before they became issues and approached everything with a thoughtful, solutions-oriented mindset. The team was consistently proactive, professional, and transparent. I truly appreciated their structure and ability to keep things moving smoothly. I would highly recommend working with Tepia.

      Mobile App Development Review from Robert Beknazarian

      Working with Tepia Co has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. They played a critical role in developing our mobile app for RELI, and I can confidently say they exceeded our expectations on every level From day one, Tepia demonstrated a deep understanding of both the technical and business sides of app development. They didnt just execute tasks they asked the right questions, challenged assumptions when needed, and helped us think through complex workflows in a way that improved the final product. Their team truly operates as a strategic partner, not just a development vendor The communication was excellent throughout the entire process. We always knew where things stood, timelines were clear, and any issues or changes were handled proactively and transparently. For a project as complex as ours involving pricing logic, user flows, financing options, compliance considerations, and scalability this level of clarity and responsiveness made a huge difference. What really stood out was Tepias attention to detail and commitment to quality. The app they helped build is stable, clean, intuitive, and built with long-term growth in mind. They were thoughtful about architecture, performance, and future enhancements, which is critical for a company like ours that plans to scale aggressively. They were also extremely flexible and patient as our requirements evolved (which happens in real-world startups). Instead of pushing back, they collaborated with us to find smart, efficient solutions that aligned with our vision and budget. If youre a founder or business owner looking for a team that: Truly understands mobile app development Communicates clearly and consistently Thinks strategically, not just technically Delivers high-quality, scalable work I highly recommend Tepia Co without hesitation. They have been a trusted partner in bringing RELI to life, and we look forward to continuing to work with them as we grow

      From the first phone call and conversation with Alen at LiveWeb Media, I knew I found the people the company that could provide me with the services I truly needed. They are very professional and super helpful. I would say that if you are looking for a web design company that also offers other services, such as SEO and Social Media packages, look no further!

6 Frequently Asked Questions About Software Development Companies in California

What services does a software development company in California typically provide?

It offers the following custom software development services:

  • Custom software development: Designing, building, and deploying software tailored to specific user needs or business requirements.
  • Mobile app development: Building Android and iOS applications that leverage native device features such as Bluetooth, camera, and GPS for enhanced functionality.
  • Web app development: Building software that lives on a remote server and is accessed through a web browser rather than being downloaded onto a device's hard drive.
  • Website development: Designing and developing both the front-end and back-end of a website, with a focus on responsive layouts, intuitive interfaces, and practical features.
  • Cloud development: Software developers in California craft bespoke programs that run on cloud environments and allow for secure and easy data retrieval and storage, while offering cloud consulting services too.
  • Quality assurance: Conducting rigorous tests to identify and resolve potential issues and ensure the software solutions meet performance standards, user expectations, and regulatory requirements.
  • Maintenance and support: Performing software updates to enhance security, functionality, and performance.

How much do these companies charge for software development services?

Software development pricing in California is among the highest in the United States, driven by talent demand in hubs like Silicon Valley, San Jose, and San Francisco. California sits at the top end globally, often 30-70% more expensive than offshore alternatives.

Costs vary widely by experience level, project scope, and specialization.

In top-tier markets, software developers in California charge $160-$275/hr.

Costs by project

  • Small projects (MVPs, simple apps): $40,000-$80,000
  • Mid-size platforms: $80,000-$150,000
  • Complex systems (enterprise, AI, SaaS): $150,000-$300,000+

What is the Privacy by Design requirement in California?

Privacy by Design (PbD) in California is a core regulatory expectation embedded in the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) and the California Consumer Privacy Act framework.

Privacy by Design requires software development companies in California to build privacy into systems from the start, not add it later, integrate privacy into software architecture, business processes, and data flows, and consider user privacy at every stage of development and data processing.

This requirement applies to web and mobile applications, data pipelines and analytics systems, and AI and automated decision-making tools.

How long does it take to complete a software development project in California?

The average timeline for a custom software development company in California ranges from 3 to 12 months, depending on the complexity and scope of the project. While AI-augmented development tools have increased coding velocity by nearly 40%, stricter California regulations (like the CCPA and new AI transparency laws) have added mandatory compliance and testing phases that offset those gains.

Project type Timeline Key focus area
Minimum Viable Product (MVP) 3-4 months Core features only; rapid market entry.
Medium complexity SaaS 6-9 months API integrations, multi-user roles, and scaling 
Enterprise-grade systems 9-18+ months Legacy migration, high security, and deep compliance.
AI-native platforms  12-24 months Model training, ADMT audits, and data lineage. 

Can I hire a California agency that uses offshore developers?

Yes, you can. Many top software developers in California use offshore or hybrid teams. In this setup, the agency usually keeps its strategy, design, and project management in California, while teams in Eastern Europe, Latin America, or Southeast Asia handle heavy-duty coding.

While the model is effective, California’s strict laws mean that a software development company in California must be the shield for your business. Even if developers are offshore, they may have access to your users' personal data. Under the 2026 CCPA rules, you must ensure the agency has Data Transfer Agreements in place. The data must be handled as if it never left California.

What is the ADMT regulation?

ADMT stands for Automated Decision-Making Technology. In the context of California law (specifically the CCPA/CPRA), it refers to any technology that uses computation to replace or substantially replace human involvement in making decisions about people.

As of January 1, 2026, new regulations from the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) have officially taken effect, placing strict guardrails on how businesses use these tools. If the software solution you need uses AI to make decisions, a top software development company in California must provide a way for users to opt out and receive an explanation of the logic.

The regulation targets any system, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and simple algorithms that process personal data to make a significant decision concerning a consumer. 

This includes decisions related to:

  • Employment: Hiring, compensation, or work allocation.
  • Financial Services: Lending, insurance, or credit.
  • Essential Services: Housing, healthcare, or education enrollment.
  • Criminal Justice: Legal outcomes or profiling.
